- Define and evangelize target-state architecture, service boundaries, and upgrade paths, and document them for engineering and stakeholder audiences.
- Lead the decomposition of legacy PHP/Symfony monolith functionality into resilient, independently deployable Java services.
- Design and build AWS-native solutions using ECS/Fargate, SQS, SNS, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, and Parameter Store.
- Build and maintain secure REST APIs with robust validation, error handling, authentication, and authorization.
- Drive identity modernization, including OAuth2/OIDC and the LDAP-to-Okta migration.
- Design and optimize data access layers using JPA/Hibernate, including ORM mappings, schema evolution, index strategy, and query tuning.
- Establish engineering standards for unit and integration testing, CI/CD pipelines, observability, logging, and alerting.
- Partner with QA, DevOps, Product, Architecture, and Regulatory teams to deliver compliant, production-ready software.
- Mentor engineers across levels through code review, design review, and knowledge sharing.
- Lead technical planning and execution of complex, multi-sprint initiatives, and surface delivery risk early.
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues affecting service performance, stability, and reliability.
- Maintain awareness of and compliance with SOX and HIPAA requirements in a regulated healthcare environment.
- Other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong backend focus.
- Expert-level proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, with deep experience in distributed systems.
- Demonstrated experience decomposing monolithic applications into microservices.
- Hands-on experience with AWS services (ECS/Fargate, SQS, SNS, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, IAM).
- Strong command of REST API design, authentication and authorization patterns, and enterprise integration.
- Strong experience with relational databases (MySQL/Aurora) and ORM frameworks such as Hibernate/JPA, including query tuning.
- Proficiency with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native delivery practices.
- Proven ability to lead technical direction and mentor engineers across levels.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Tempus was founded in August of 2015 by Eric Lefkofsky, after his wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Shortly after he founded the company in an effort to bring the power of technology and artificial intelligence to cancer care, he convinced Ryan Fukushima to join as the company’s first employee. Ryan and Eric began assembling a world class team, focused on building the first version of a platform capable of ingesting real time healthcare data in an effort to personalize diagnostics.
We built the platform for oncology and have expanded it to neuropsychiatry, cardiology, infectious disease (through COVID), and radiology. Despite our rapid growth, our mission remains the same—to help make sure patients are on the right drug at the right time, so they can live longer and healthier lives.

Tips for Your Remote Platform Engineer Job Search
Build a portfolio of deployed infrastructure work
Remote employers can't watch you work, so your GitHub needs to show it for them. Publish Terraform modules, Kubernetes manifests, or CI/CD pipeline configs with clear README documentation. Real deployed projects signal that you can build and maintain infrastructure without hand-holding.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote platform engineer openings from companies hiring across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your stack and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings. Applying early matters because remote roles close faster than on-site ones.
Sharpen your async written communication
Remote platform teams make architecture decisions in Slack threads, pull request comments, and written proposals, not in conference rooms. Practice writing clear incident postmortems, runbook documentation, and technical RFCs. Remote hiring managers often screen for written clarity before they screen for skills.
Target remote-first companies and distributed teams
Companies built as remote-first from the start have mature async workflows and onboard remote engineers faster. Look for engineering blogs, open-source contributions, and public runbooks, which signal that the team documents its work and communicates in writing by default.
Remote Platform Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote platform engineer job?
Remote platform engineer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate autonomy, clear written communication, and the ability to build and maintain infrastructure without in-person support. Remote employers screen for hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms like AWS or GCP. Strong async documentation habits and a GitHub portfolio showing real infrastructure work give you a concrete edge over candidates who rely on office collaboration.
Which companies hire remote platform engineers?
Companies hiring remote platform engineers right now include CVS Health, Block, and BV Teck, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first software companies and distributed cloud infrastructure teams make up the largest share of remote platform engineer openings, with fintech, SaaS, and enterprise technology firms also hiring consistently.
Can you get a remote platform engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level platform engineer roles are harder to land because you're expected to self-manage from day one with minimal oversight. Remote-first startups and smaller SaaS companies are the most likely to consider early-career candidates. A public GitHub repository showing Terraform configs, CI/CD pipelines, or Kubernetes deployments, along with home lab documentation, gives hiring managers something concrete to evaluate in place of professional experience.
Do you need a degree for remote platform engineer jobs?
Not always. Remote employers hiring platform engineers weigh demonstrated infrastructure skills, cloud certifications, and real-world project output heavily alongside or instead of a degree. AWS, GCP, and CKA certifications carry real weight in remote hiring because they're objective and verifiable. A portfolio of deployed infrastructure projects, open-source contributions, or documented on-call experience often matters more to distributed teams than your educational background.
Which industries hire the most remote platform engineers?
Remote platform engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Insurance, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering teams managing cloud infrastructure at scale, which makes remote platform engineers a natural fit for their operating model.
