AWS Software Platform Engineer – CDK & Developer Tooling
Join Mutual of Omaha as an AWS Software Platform Engineer on our Common Technology Platform (CTP) Agile Release Train (ART) within the Department of Cloud (DOC); a team shaping how we design, build, and scale secure AWS solutions across the enterprise. You will advance our AWS ecosystem by driving our AWS CDK library and AWS Config Rules, enabling automation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and a world-class developer experience for teams modernizing on Amazon Web Services. In this high-impact role, you will help define the future of Mutual of Omaha's technology platform used by internal I/S teams, business partners, and ultimately our customers.
WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU:
- Estimated Salary - Engineer II or III: $125,000 - $145,000, plus annual bonus opportunity.
- 401k plan with a 2% company contribution and 6% company match.
- Work-life balance with vacation, personal time and paid holidays.
- Applicants for this position must not now, nor at any point in the future, require sponsorship for employment.
This role is classified as remote; however, periodic in-person attendance will be required at times for activities such as quarterly or project planning, training, or other business-critical meetings
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- Create innovative cloud solutions by designing and automating infrastructure using AWS CDK, TypeScript, and APIs - bringing ideas to life with Infrastructure as Code.
- Partner with teams across the organization to uncover challenges, accelerate delivery, and make the developer experience seamless through modern self-service tools.
- Apply engineering excellence to solve complex infrastructure problems - driving automation, self-healing capabilities, and reusable components that scale.
- Lead lifecycle automation for distributed cloud platforms, ensuring smooth configuration, deployment, and monitoring for a stable, secure environment.
- Build and optimize secure cloud networks, including load balancers, firewalls, and VPN connectivity, to keep our systems resilient and reliable.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
- Production Software Engineering: 5+ years of software development experience in an object-oriented language, with a strong preference for TypeScript or JavaScript (including advanced types, interface design, and asynchronous patterns).
- Production Infrastructure as Code Experience: 2+ years of hands-on experience authoring, deploying, and debugging infrastructure as code. AWS CDK v2 in TypeScript is strongly preferred; Terraform module authoring will also be considered. Experience should include writing custom L3 constructs or reusable Terraform modules with proper scoping and lifecycle controls.
- Advanced IaC and State Management: Strong experience managing complex infrastructure as code deployments, such as CDK aspects, escape hatches (modifying underlying L1 CloudFormation structures), cross-stack references, and structural deployment barriers, or Terraform remote state, workspaces, and module dependency management.
- Testing and CI/CD Pipelines: Experience implementing automated testing for IaC infrastructure (e.g., aws-cdk-lib assertions, Terratest) and integrating IaC synthesis / deployment into automated pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or AWS CodePipeline).
- Operational Engineering: Strong background in cloud architectural design, testing, and operational support. Proven track record of building highly reusable, modular code components and implementing cloud governance or security compliance (such as cdk-nag, AWS Config Rules, or policy-as-code tools).
- You promote a culture of diversity and inclusion, value different ideas and opinions, and listen courageously, remaining curious in all that you do.
- Able to work remotely with access to a high-speed internet connection and located in the United States or Puerto Rico.
PREFERRED:
- Experience with both AWS CDK and Terraform.
- Ability to challenge the authenticity and effectiveness of team processes where opportunities for improvement exist.

Tips for Your Remote Tooling Engineer Job Search
Show your async collaboration skills upfront
Remote tooling employers need engineers who document decisions clearly and communicate progress without daily check-ins. Include examples on your resume or in a portfolio of how you've used shared CAD libraries, written design reviews, or maintained tooling runbooks that teammates could act on independently.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote tooling engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly. Applying in the first few days of a posting going live increases your chances before the role fills.
Demonstrate proficiency in remote tooling software
Remote tooling engineer roles rely heavily on cloud-accessible CAD platforms, PDM systems, and virtual review tools like SOLIDWORKS PDM or Windchill. Name the specific software you've used in your application materials so hiring managers can confirm fit without an in-person skills test.
Prepare for a remote technical interview format
Remote tooling interviews often involve a screen-share design review, a take-home assessment, or a walkthrough of your past project files. Have your CAD models, tolerance stack-ups, or tooling layouts organized and ready to share quickly so you can walk through your decision-making in real time.
Remote Tooling Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote tooling engineer job?
Target companies with distributed engineering teams, particularly those in medical device, aerospace, and industrial automation sectors where tooling work can be managed through CAD software, remote collaboration platforms, and detailed async documentation. Remote employers screen for self-direction, strong written communication, and proficiency in tools like CATIA, SolidWorks, or AutoCAD. A portfolio showing completed tooling projects, design iterations, or process improvements gives you a concrete edge over candidates who only list responsibilities.
Which companies hire remote tooling engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote tooling engineers include Whatnot, Vf Services, and AMADA, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote tooling engineer roles tend to concentrate at remote-first manufacturers, distributed product development firms, and contract engineering companies operating across multiple facilities.
Can you get a remote tooling engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level tooling engineer roles are harder to land because you need to work independently from day one without on-site mentorship. Remote-first startups and smaller contract engineering firms are more likely to take a chance on junior candidates. Showing CAD project work, completed coursework in tooling design, or a personal fabrication project demonstrates hands-on capability even without formal job history.
Do you need a degree for remote tooling engineer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrated tooling skills, software proficiency, and a portfolio of real project work alongside or instead of a formal degree. Certifications in CAD platforms, manufacturing processes, or quality systems like GD&T can substitute effectively. Remote roles do raise the bar on independent problem-solving, so showing concrete results from past projects matters more than the credential itself.
Which industries hire the most remote tooling engineers?
Most remote tooling engineer openings sit in Retail and Fashion & Apparel, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire tooling engineers remotely because their product development and process improvement work can be coordinated across distributed teams using shared CAD environments and digital manufacturing workflows.
