Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Engine is transforming business travel into a personalized and seamless experience through technology. They are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical evolution of their control plane, design platform primitives, and mentor embedded engineers while improving CI/CD reliability and vendor integrations.

Responsibilities

• Lead the technical evolution of the control plane — not just keep it running, but decide where it goes next
• Design and ship platform primitives (Terraform modules, pipeline templates, account/networking patterns) that feature teams adopt because they're better than the alternative — not because they're mandated
• Partner with embedded infra engineers to identify recurring friction across verticals and turn it into self-serve capability
• Own the boring-but-critical work: AWS Organization hygiene, CI/CD reliability, vendor contracts and integration health, incident response on shared infrastructure
• Mentor across the discipline. We hold infra standups twice a week — that's where you'll teach, learn, and stay aligned with the embedded engineers
• Reduce the SDLC step-function count. Every new approval gate, every "ask infra first" workflow is a tax — your job is to lower it

Skills

• 8+ years building and operating production cloud infrastructure, with deep AWS expertise (multi-account, networking, IAM, security boundaries)
• Expert-level Terraform — you've designed reusable modules, run TFC at scale, and have opinions about state, drift, and execution patterns
• Strong CI/CD background — GitHub Actions, reusable workflows, OIDC, secret management
• Experience with platform engineering: shipping internal tools and abstractions that other engineers actually want to use
• A bias toward enabling teams over gatekeeping. You'd rather build the paved road than approve the off-road permits
• Cloudflare (WAF, DNS, zero-trust/WARP) at production scale
• Datadog, JFrog, or comparable vendor integration experience
• Background in cost observability or FinOps tooling
• History of working in or alongside embedded/platform models — you understand the difference between a platform team and a ticket queue

Benefits

• Opportunities for bonuses, commissions, and equity
• Hybrid-hub model
• Whether you are in one of our amazing offices or fully remote, we’ll make sure you have what you need to succeed
