About the role
Cloud Platform Developer Engineer
Mutual of Omaha's Workplace Solutions platform team supports 17 full stack application development teams running on AWS. We author AWS CDK constructs in TypeScript, build shared platform libraries those teams consume, and get called in when developers hit a wall, whether the problem is in the platform or in their Java code. If you have strong cloud infrastructure depth and hands-on Java software development experience to match, we want to talk.
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, author reusable AWS CDK constructs and shared libraries in TypeScript, and serve as the technical resource those developers call when they are stuck — whether the problem lives in the platform or in their 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. You will 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.
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
- 401(k) plan: 2% company contribution and 6% company match.
- Work-life balance: Vacation, personal time, and paid holidays.
This role is classified as remote; however, periodic in-person attendance will be required at times for activities such as quarterly or project planning, training, or other business-critical meetings. Applicants must not require sponsorship for employment now or in the future.
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 Java code.
- 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.
- Two or more of the following competencies, demonstrated in software development or platform engineering roles:
- Infrastructure as a Code (Preferred: AWS CDK, Cloud Formation)
- Containerization with Docker (Preferred: Kubernetes, Elastic Container Service (ECS), Fargate)
- Databases (Preferred: Postgres, RDS Aurora, MongoDB)
- Message/Data Streaming (Preferred: AWS MSK, Kafka)
- GitHub, GitHub Actions, Git for version control
- Experience building/managing cloud services by automating/orchestrating complex processes using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) within a single cloud environment.
- Experience building shared libraries, reusable constructs, or internal platform services used by other engineering teams.
- Experience with distributed cloud platform configuration, deployment, and lifecycle management automation tools.
- Understanding of security and compliance for a cloud environment.
- Promotion of a culture of diversity and inclusion, valuing different ideas and opinions, and listening courageously, remaining curious in all that you do.
- Ability to work remotely with access to a high-speed internet connection and located in the United States or Puerto Rico.
Preferred:
- Strong interpersonal communication with both technical and nontechnical audiences.
- Prior experience with cloud governance or enablement initiatives.
- Proficiency in Software Engineering and best practices.
