FULL TIME Lead Platform Engineer with Python Programming & AWS Cloud - HYBRID ONSITE 

Location Flexibility: This role is based 4 days per week in either Boston or Needham, with occasional travel between offices as needed.

Candidates requiring visa sponsorship are welcome to apply!

FROM THE HIRING MANAGER - for our Platform Engineering team what we’re looking for are people who have experience building technology to be used by other development teams (not business users). Candidates who have just built lots of apps will not be viable for this role.  Ideally someone with experience at software companies might be a better fit, since they are building software to be used by the development teams who buy their software.  Building a few common modules for their dev team doesn’t cut it; we need people who have built software that is used by 50-100+ developers. 

THE POSITION
We are currently seeking qualified candidates for a Lead Software Engineer position for our Platform Engineering team which is responsible for designing and building tools and workflows for our internal software engineering teams.  These systems will allow them to build and deploy applications effortlessly, allowing them to focus on building business functionality for their users.  Your work will directly support enterprise-wide initiatives, helping teams across the organization streamline operations, improve reliability, and accelerate delivery. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems and collaborating with other engineers to create high-impact internal platforms.  The ideal candidate should have experience enabling IT organizations to work more efficiently, standardize best practices, and reduce friction across the development lifecycle. This includes creating reusable components, automation frameworks, and platform capabilities that empower our engineering teams. 

KEYS TO THE POSITION
-              10+ years of experience in software engineering
-              Proficient in Python with experience building tools using widely adopted libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Requests, BeautifulSoup, FastAPI, and SQLAlchemy.
-              Skilled in packaging, testing, and deploying Python applications using tools like pytest, setuptools, Docker, and Git; familiarity with CI/CD workflows is a plus.
-              Hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing cloud-native applications using AWS services (e.g., EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudFormation), with a strong grasp of scalable and secure architecture principles.
-              Proficiency in DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Jenkins), and container orchestration using ECS or EKS.
-              Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and performance optimization tools (e.g., CloudWatch, X-Ray); AWS certification is a plus.
-              Experience building and maintaining published libraries, frameworks, and services that support a wide range of teams/departments
-              Excellent written and verbal communication
-              Attention to detail, self-discipline and passion to drive and innovate
-              Must be comfortable with test-driven development, continuous integration, and agile development methodologies using tools like GIT, Artifactory, and Jenkins
-              Experience working with offshore development teams is a plus
-              Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, engineering, math, or related field, or equivalent experience is preferred
