Platform Engineering owns the landing zone, infrastructure as code, and the golden-path tooling that product teams build on. The Principal Platform Engineer is Amtech's senior-most hands-on cloud technologist. You will own the technical architecture of our AWS platform: the landing zone, the account-per-customer Encore hosting model, the golden-path IaC stack, and the migration roadmap that retires our remaining private-cloud footprint. This role carries organization-wide technical authority without people management. You will make the architecture decisions that hold for years, de-risk them through prototyping and review, and raise the engineering bar across a distributed U.S. and India team. You will also be a primary technical interface to AWS, consulting partners, and executive leadership. ## Key Responsibilities Architecture & Technical Strategy - Own end-to-end AWS platform architecture: multi-account organization design, landing zone, networking, DNS and certificate architecture, identity, and tenancy model. - Set the technical roadmap for Encore-on-AWS environment builds (temp, production, demo) on a shared golden IaC stack, and for LabelTraxx platform evolution. - Define the migration architecture and sequencing that completes Amtech's exit from legacy private-cloud infrastructure. - Write and defend architecture decision records; kill weak options early with evidence. - Evaluate and integrate emerging capabilities, including AI/agentic tooling and MCP-based integration patterns, under Amtech's AI governance program. Platform Engineering & Delivery - Author the highest leverage Terraform modules and reference implementations personally; review the rest. - Set standards for CI/CD (GitHub Actions), progressive delivery, environment promotion, and secrets management. - Design for reliability with SRE-track peers: SLO frameworks, observability architecture (Open Telemetry, Open Observe), and PagerDuty service models. - Drive platform cost architecture with FinOps: tenancy economics, Savings Plans strategy input, and unit cost visibility. Security, Compliance & Risk - Design security architecture with Information Security: IAM boundaries, network segmentation, encryption, and data governance for customer data. - Ensure the platform satisfies SOC 2 and ISO 27001 obligations by design, with audit evidence generated through automation. - Assess and articulate technical risk for executive decisions: migration sequencing, vendor dependencies, and single points of failure. AI Competency - Design agentic and AI-assisted engineering workflows with autonomy tiers, policy-as-code guardrails, rollback, and end-to-end auditability; measure ROI against baselines. - Define platform AI standards: where AI sits in the delivery lifecycle, validation layer architecture (schema, rules, model-graded, human review), and evaluation harnesses. - Prevent AI-generated code from degrading platform quality at fleet scale: eval harnesses, complexity metrics, and AI-attributed defect tracking. - Contribute to enterprise AI strategy and standards under Amtech's AI governance program. Technical Leadership & Influence - Mentor senior engineers and raise design-review quality across U.S. and India pods. - Serve as the senior technical counterpart to AWS, consulting partners, and third-party providers on funded programs. - Translate platform strategy into terms executives and investors can act on; support diligence and integration work for acquisitions. - Ensure knowledge is durable: documentation, runbooks, and deliberate succession of critical knowledge, avoiding single-person dependencies. ## Skills & Qualifications - 10+ years of progressive engineering experience with deep AWS platform expertise; recognized as the strongest technologist in prior roles. - Proven ownership of multi-account AWS architecture at organizational scale (landing zones, Control Tower or equivalent, account vending, SCPs). - Expert Terraform and IaC program design: module ecosystems consumed by multiple teams, testing, and versioning strategy. - Demonstrated success architecting and executing large migrations (data center or private cloud to AWS), including ERP-class or other stateful enterprise workloads. - Strong software engineering foundation (Python, Go, or similar) and fluency with modern CI/CD (GitHub Actions or equivalent). - Working command of cloud security architecture and compliance-driven design (SOC 2, ISO 27001). - Track record of technical leadership without formal authority: mentoring seniors, driving decisions through writing and review, and influencing executives. - Designed AI-assisted or agentic engineering systems with guardrails, autonomy tiers, and measured ROI; L4+ AI competency by industry frameworks. - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent demonstrated skills. ## Preferred Qualifications - AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional or DevOps Engineer Professional. - Experience with multi-tenant SaaS and account-per-customer tenancy economics. - Experience in private equity portfolio, M&A integration, or investor-facing technical diligence contexts. - Experience establishing AI/LLM platform capabilities or agent-based automation under formal governance. - Experience directing consulting partners on funded cloud programs (for example AWS MAP). ## Why Join Amtech At Amtech, you will drive meaningful financial impact in a growing enterprise software organization while benefiting from Vista’s world-class ecosystem.
