Senior Platform Engineer, Connectivity

About the Role

As the Senior Platform Engineer on the Connectivity team, you will design and build the automation, tooling, and infrastructure components that enable Simplesense to securely and efficiently onboard customer facilities into our cloud-hybrid platform services. You will lead complex work across platform engineering, Linux systems, networking, and infrastructure automation to turn operational needs into scalable workflows, reusable components, and maintainable systems. In this role, you will own ambiguous technical problems within the Connectivity engineering domain, drive solutions from design through implementation, and help less experienced engineers deliver with quality and consistency.

What Success Looks Like

30 Days: Ramp on existing connectivity architectures, automation tooling, lab environments, and onboarding workflows; build relationships across Connectivity Operations, Platform, and adjacent engineering teams.

60 Days: Contribute code and design improvements to active automation and infrastructure workflows; identify where provisioning, configuration, and validation can be standardized and improved; and begin shaping implementation plans for a complex workflow or tooling area.

90 Days: Independently own a tooling or automation area within Connectivity; deliver production-ready improvements that increase repeatability and reduce operational friction; mentor teammates through code reviews, design reviews, and implementation guidance.

What You’ll Do

• Automation and Infrastructure-as-Code: Lead the design and implementation of reusable tooling and configuration-driven workflows that automate the lifecycle management of Connectivity infrastructure.
• Linux & Network Systems: Develop and maintain automation for Linux-based systems and network appliances, including secure configuration generation, system bootstrapping, software updates, and validation routines.
• Connectivity Workflow: Translate operational onboarding and maintenance needs into scalable technical workflows that improve delivery speed, consistency, and quality across customer environments, including provisioning, secure channel establishment, validation, monitoring, and sustainment.
• Security by Design: Build automation and infrastructure patterns that align with zero-trust principles, network segmentation requirements, access controls, and critical infrastructure security expectations.
• Technical Design & Problem Solving: Break down ambiguous infrastructure and workflow problems into clear technical designs, implementation plans, and well-scoped engineering tasks.
