About the role
About the Role
Mutual of Omaha is seeking a Cloud Platform Developer Engineer who brings both strong AWS cloud infrastructure expertise and hands-on Java software development experience. In this role, you will own and operate the AWS platform that powers application development teams across Workplace Solutions. You will author reusable AWS CDK constructs and shared libraries in TypeScript, and serve as the technical resource for developers when they encounter issues, whether the problem lies in the platform or their Java code. You will work at the intersection of cloud engineering, software development, and platform enablement, partnering with teams across the organization to simplify cloud complexity and accelerate delivery. Think like a developer, build shared libraries that other engineers consume, and bring a software engineering mindset to every infrastructure problem. We are especially interested in someone with a curious mindset who actively explores and incorporates emerging technologies, including AI, to continuously evolve our platform capabilities.
If you have spent your career exclusively writing infrastructure YAML and Terraform HCL with no Java software development experience, this role is likely not the right fit. If you have a strong cloud infrastructure background and have also built shared libraries, authored CDK constructs in TypeScript, or worked closely alongside application development teams to solve problems at the code level, we would love to connect. Apply today.
What We Can Offer You
- Estimated Salary: Engineer II: $115,000 - $135,000, plus annual bonus opportunity. Engineer III: $130,000 - $150,000, plus annual bonus opportunity.
- Retirement Savings: 401(k) plan with a 2% company contribution and 6% company match.
- Work-Life Balance: Enjoy vacation, personal time, and paid holidays. See our benefits and perks page for details.
- Sponsorship: Applicants for this position must not now, nor at any point in the future, require sponsorship for employment.
What You'll Do
- Write production-grade TypeScript using AWS CDK to design, build, test, and maintain Infrastructure as Code for public cloud environments.
- Build and maintain shared construct libraries and platform services consumed by engineering teams across the department, treating infrastructure like software with versioning, testing, and documentation.
- Serve as the cloud subject matter expert, enabling development teams to achieve the organization's cloud vision through hands-on guidance and troubleshooting.
- Configure and manage common cloud services in production environments.
- Collaborate across teams to uncover delivery pain points and drive platform improvements.
- Apply software engineering best practices including code reviews, unit testing, design patterns, and clean architecture to infrastructure code.
What You'll Bring
- 5+ years of hands-on software development experience using an object-oriented language, with TypeScript strongly preferred.
- Experience writing Java code.
- Demonstrated experience writing AWS CDK constructs and stacks, not just consuming them.
- Two or more of the following competencies, demonstrated in software development or platform engineering roles:
- Infrastructure as a Code (Preferred: AWS CDK, Cloud Formation)

- Databases (Preferred: Postgres, RDS Aurora, MongoDB)
- Message/Data Streaming (Preferred: AWS MSK, Kafka)
- CI/CD with GitHub, GitHub Actions, Git for version control

- Experience with distributed cloud platform configuration, deployment, and lifecycle management automation tools.
- Understanding of security and compliance for a cloud environment.
- You promote a culture of diversity and inclusion, value different ideas and opinions, and listen courageously, remaining curious in all that you do.
