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 Technician Job Search
Document your tooling work in a portfolio
Remote employers can't walk the floor with you, so a portfolio of tooling projects with photos, drawings, and outcome notes does the work your resume can't. Include tolerance specs met, cycle time improvements, or tooling failures you diagnosed and resolved.
Show async communication skills up front
Remote tooling technician roles run on written handoffs and async updates in tools like Slack, Jira, or PDM systems. Mention these by name in your application and describe how you've kept distributed teams aligned on tooling status without relying on in-person check-ins.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote tooling technician openings from companies hiring across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly without sorting through non-remote listings mixed in.
Prepare for a remote technical screen
Many remote employers run a short technical assessment before the interview, often asking you to review a drawing, flag a tolerance issue, or walk through a tooling decision in a shared document. Practice explaining your reasoning in writing as clearly as you would out loud.
Remote Tooling Technician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote tooling technician job?
Target companies with distributed engineering teams or remote-first product development workflows, since those employers are most likely to have built the infrastructure for a tooling technician to work off-site effectively. Remote hiring managers screen hard for self-direction, clear written communication, and proficiency with CAD software, PDM systems, and digital inspection tools. A portfolio of tooling projects with documented outcomes gives you a concrete edge over candidates who list skills without evidence.
Which companies hire remote tooling technicians?
Employers currently hiring remote tooling technicians include Whatnot, Vf Services, and AMADA, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. The companies most likely to hire tooling technicians remotely are remote-first manufacturers, distributed product engineering firms, and companies in sectors like aerospace, medical devices, and industrial equipment where tooling coordination can be managed digitally.
Can you get a remote tooling technician job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level tooling technician roles are harder to land because employers expect you to troubleshoot and make judgment calls without on-site supervision from day one. Your best path in is through companies that hire for contract or project-based remote tooling work, where you build a record quickly. Demonstrating CAD proficiency, familiarity with GD&T, and any hands-on tooling coursework or personal projects can substitute for formal job history.
Do you need a degree for remote tooling technician jobs?
Not always. Remote employers in tooling weigh demonstrated technical skills, hands-on results, and relevant certifications heavily alongside or instead of a degree. Proficiency in CAD platforms, knowledge of tooling materials and tolerances, and a portfolio of real work often carry more weight than a credential alone. An associate degree or vocational program in manufacturing technology strengthens your application, but it is not a hard requirement at most remote-hiring companies.
Which industries hire the most remote tooling technicians?
Remote tooling technician roles concentrate in Retail and Fashion & Apparel, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors hire tooling technicians remotely because their product development and process improvement workflows are built around distributed teams that coordinate through digital tooling systems and cloud-based engineering platforms.
