- Automate configuration management, patching, and operational maintenance.
- Support AWS WorkSpaces, Amazon EKS, Systems Manager, and related platform services
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of DevOps or cloud platform engineering experience.
- Strong infrastructure-as-code experience, particularly AWS CDK with Python or TypeScript.
- Experience developing CI/CD pipelines and Git-based engineering workflows.
- Hands-on AWS cloud experience and ability to work effectively in highly controlled environments.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with AWS WorkSpaces, EKS, and Systems Manager.
- Experience deploying automation into isolated or tightly controlled environments.
- Relevant AWS professional or specialty certifications; Security+ or CISSP where applicable.
- Active TS/SCI clearance; must be eligible for applicable SCI read-on/indoctrination and additional program-specific access approvals.
- Must reside within commuting distance of one of the following 4 approved secure work locations: Herndon, VA; Washington, DC; Seattle, WA; or Denver, CO.

Tips for Your Infrastructure Platform Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to platform maturity
Hiring teams distinguish between engineers who built platforms from scratch and those who scaled existing ones. Specify where you inherited infrastructure versus greenfielded it, and what scale you reached in terms of clusters, services, or developer adoption.
Highlight IDP metrics recruiters recognize
Internal developer platform work is hard to quantify on a resume. Frame your contributions around developer experience outcomes: deployment frequency improvements, onboarding time reduction, or self-service adoption rates across engineering teams you supported.
Filter openings by cloud provider depth
Job listings vary widely between roles that want multi-cloud architects and those deeply tied to a single provider. Match your strongest certifications, whether AWS, GCP, or Azure, to listings that weight that provider to avoid wasted applications.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists infrastructure platform engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a live infrastructure demo for interviews
Technical screens for this role often include a whiteboard or live Terraform and Kubernetes exercise. Have a public repository showing a working platform prototype, not just configuration snippets, so you can walk interviewers through real decisions.
Negotiate scope before accepting compensation
Platform engineering offers vary significantly in autonomy. Before finalizing any offer, confirm whether you own toolchain decisions or implement a predetermined stack, and whether the role has a seat in architecture reviews. Scope directly affects your career trajectory.
Infrastructure Platform Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most infrastructure platform engineers?
The companies hiring the most infrastructure platform engineers right now include Google, KLA, and JPMorganChase, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is concentrated at companies scaling their internal developer platforms or migrating large workloads to cloud-native architectures.
How many infrastructure platform engineer jobs are remote?
About 75% of infrastructure platform engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the distributed nature of most platform teams. Roles focused on internal developer tooling, infrastructure-as-code, and Kubernetes platform development tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while on-site requirements appear more often in regulated industries like finance and healthcare.
How do you become an infrastructure platform engineer?
Start by building strong fundamentals in Linux systems administration and networking, then move into cloud infrastructure using a major provider. Learn Terraform for provisioning and Kubernetes for container orchestration through hands-on projects. Contribute to open-source platform tooling or build a personal homelab to demonstrate end-to-end platform design. Earning a cloud certification validates your skills to employers screening at the resume stage.
How do you get hired as an infrastructure platform engineer with little experience?
Focus on building a public portfolio that demonstrates platform thinking rather than pure operations work. Deploy a self-service Kubernetes environment using Terraform and document the architectural decisions you made. Contributing to projects like Crossplane, Backstage, or OpenTelemetry signals platform engineering intent and gives interviewers something concrete to discuss beyond your job history.
What does the infrastructure platform engineer interview process look like?
Expect a recruiter screen followed by a technical phone interview covering cloud architecture and infrastructure-as-code concepts. A take-home or live coding exercise typically involves writing Terraform modules or designing a Kubernetes-based deployment pipeline. Final rounds usually include a system design session focused on internal platform architecture and a cross-functional interview with engineering leadership or staff-level engineers who will evaluate platform philosophy and communication style.
Where can I find and apply to infrastructure platform engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to infrastructure platform engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your cloud experience, toolchain depth, and seniority level, then apply directly to each listing from the page.
