About Eleven Recruiting
We are a specialized technology staffing agency supporting professional and financial services companies.

Why do we stand out in technology staffing? We listen and act as advisors for our candidates on how they can best add value, find interesting projects, and pave a path for career advancement.

We advocate for the best pay, diversity in tech, and the best job fit for every candidate we place.
Our client, an investment firm, is seeking a Platform Engineer to join their team in New York, NY

This is a hands-on, senior-level engineering role focused on designing and building internal platforms and tooling that improve developer velocity, reliability, and consistency across our firm's global technology ecosystem.

The ideal candidate will own and deliver reusable platform capabilities—APIs, workflows, and automation—that enable application teams to provision, deploy, and operate services independently.

Success in this role is measured by adoption, usability, and real-world outcomes rather than process adherence.

Responsibilities:
Lead the design, development, and evolution of shared internal platforms for cloud environments, CI/CD, and service delivery.
Build scalable, resilient backend services and automation using Python and Java.
Design self-service workflows that allow teams to provision infrastructure, deploy services, and operate independently.
Define and implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and cloud-native best practices.
Architect and operate solutions on AWS, GCP, or Azure (deep expertise in at least one).
Develop reusable platform services, APIs, and abstractions that replace bespoke, team-specific solutions.
Integrate and support AI-enabled platform capabilities, including MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar AI orchestration frameworks.
Automate delivery, validation, and operational best practices (security, reliability, observability by default).
Partner closely with application, infrastructure, and security teams to understand needs, drive adoption, and refine platform offerings.
Define and maintain golden paths that standardize how software is built, deployed, and run at the firm.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical standards, architecture reviews, and engineering best practices.

Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
5–7+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production systems.
Strong proficiency in one or more modern languages (e.g., Go, Java, Python).
Hands-on experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code at scale.
Strong system design skills, with experience building distributed and cloud-native systems.
Experience with at least one major cloud provider: AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Familiarity with AI systems, platforms, or integrations, including MCP or similar frameworks.
Solid understanding of APIs, CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and automation.
Product-minded approach to engineering with a strong focus on developer experience and usability.
Strong ownership mindset and ability to collaborate across globally distributed teams.

Salary:
$135,000 - $190,000
