We are looking for an experienced Principal Platform Engineer to join our internal innovation lab and to help build a state-of-the-art product and developer platform from the ground-up.
The innovation lab is a small, autonomous team building a new product from scratch. We operate with the speed of a startup but the stability of an established company, with the goal of creating a new digital service that may grow into its own offering.
You will be a hands-on subject matter expert within an autonomous team exploring new ideas and building products from scratch, ranging from internal prototypes to net-new digital services that may grow into their own offerings. The Principal Platform Engineer will design and ship services and components with a platform-as-product mindset, while shaping standards for platform reliability, observability, and security in a fast-moving R&D environment. Reporting to our Director of Platform Engineering, you’ll also bring experience in SRE and DevOps best practices, automating infrastructure and engineering operations, DevSecOps expertise, and pragmatic architecture choices that balance speed of learning with long-term maintainability.
This role will be a key voice building the foundational platform for our innovation lab, enabling our teams to quickly test, iterate, and ship new scalable and secure products. The Principal Platform Engineer will contribute to the design of infrastructure, security, tooling, and developer productivity platforms, ensuring that the innovation lab technology foundation is reliable, secure, and a delight for developers and customers to use.
As we grow, you will collaborate across departments to promote Platform Engineering and DevSecOps practices, mentor junior engineers, and help drive an in-house Platform function that matches our product and business goals.
If you’re passionate about improving lives through digital products and services, then Coforma is a great company for you.
