We own the services that sit between product-facing chat/agent experiences and the AI runtime layer, the CI/CD and deployment infrastructure that ships them safely, and the internal developer tooling that other engineering teams build on. ### About the role As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will design and deliver backend services with growing scope and autonomy, contribute to architectural decisions, and help raise engineering standards across the team. #### Responsibilities: - Design and deliver backend and platform services that power AI agent workflows , request/event ingestion, agent orchestration, document and file handling , improving reliability and delivery speed for product teams building on the platform. - Contribute to the CI/CD and progressive-delivery infrastructure that lets both customer-facing product systems and internal developer tooling ship safely and continuously , including release-decoupling work that separates code deployment from customer-facing exposure. - Build and maintain the cloud infrastructure the platform runs on , provisioning, capacity, and environment configuration , using Infrastructure-as-Code practices. - Make sound architectural decisions for the services you own, with a focus on scalability, reliability, and maintainability within a microservices/event-driven system. - Collaborate with product, applied-AI, and infrastructure teams on cross-functional initiatives, contributing to design and helping de-risk complex, multi-system projects. - Uphold high engineering standards , code quality, automated testing, observability, CI/CD, and operational excellence , in your own work and in code review. - Build and maintain observability into our services , metrics, logging, and tracing , that gives the team visibility into system health and speeds up incident diagnosis. - Strengthen monitoring, incident response, and root-cause analysis for production systems running on managed cloud AI runtimes (e.g. AWS Bedrock AgentCore) and Kubernetes. - Participate in an on-call rotation to support our customer-facing systems and critical internal tooling , treating every incident as an opportunity to protect the customer experience. - Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, sharing knowledge and supporting their technical growth. ### About you - 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, including experience designing, building, and operating backend systems in production. - Strong proficiency in Python (FastAPI or similar) or another backend language, with experience in distributed systems, microservices, and cloud-native development. - Hands-on expertise with relational databases (PostgreSQL), caching/messaging systems (Redis), API design, and AWS, including container orchestration with Kubernetes (EKS). - Experience with CI/CD pipeline engineering and progressive/safe delivery patterns (e.g. staged rollouts, traffic-shifted or environment-based release strategies). - Infrastructure-as-Code practices for managing cloud infrastructure. - Hands-on experience with observability tooling (e.g. OpenTelemetry, Datadog) for building and operating production systems. - Experience operating systems built on or integrating with LLM/Generative AI infrastructure (e.g. managed agent runtimes, LLM gateways, RAG or document-retrieval pipelines) is a strong plus. - Strong system design, debugging, and performance optimization skills, with the ability to make thoughtful trade-offs between speed, quality, and long-term scalability. ### What's in it For You? - Hybrid Work Model: We've adopted a flexible hybrid working environment for our office-based roles while delivering a seamless experience that is digitally and physically connected. - Flexibility & Work-Life Balance: Flex My Way is a set of supportive workplace policies designed to help manage personal and professional responsibilities, whether caring for family, giving back to the community, or finding time to refresh and reset. - Career Development and Growth: By fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development, we prepare our talent to tackle tomorrow's challenges and deliver real-world solutions. - Industry Competitive Benefits: We offer comprehensive benefit plans to include flexible vacation, two company-wide Mental Health Days off, access to the Headspace app, retirement savings, tuition reimbursement, employee incentive programs, and resources for mental, physical, and financial wellbeing. - Culture: Globally recognized, award-winning reputation for inclusion and belonging, flexibility, work-life balance, and more. - Social Impact: Make an impact in your community with our Social Impact Institute. - Making a Real-World Impact: We are one of the few companies globally that helps its customers pursue justice, truth, and transparency. ## Skills ### Required - Python - FastAPI - distributed systems - microservices - cloud-native development - PostgreSQL - Redis - API design - AWS - Kubernetes - CI/CD pipeline engineering - Infrastructure-as-Code - observability tooling ### Nice to have - LLM/Generative AI infrastructure - managed agent runtimes - LLM gateways - RAG or document-retrieval pipelines --- Source: [Apply at thomsonreuters.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com](https://thomsonreuters.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External_Career_Site/job/United-States-of-America-Eagan-Minnesota/Senior-Platform-Engineer_JREQ202895?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
