The Role:
Citi is seeking a Cloud Platform Developer to join its enterprise cloud engineering function, where you will contribute to the design and delivery of reusable infrastructure tooling, Kubernetes usage patterns, and Python-driven automation that accelerates cloud adoption across Citi's global engineering community. This is a platform engineering role — not application development or CI/CD pipeline work — focused on building the internal cloud services, Terraform modules, Helm patterns, and developer-facing blueprints that enable application teams to consume AWS and GCP resources securely and efficiently. Positioned within a competitive financial services technology landscape alongside peers at institutions such as JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America, this role offers high-impact, hands-on engineering work at enterprise scale. Ideal candidates are software engineers with 3–5 years of hands-on cloud and Kubernetes experience who are passionate about automation, infrastructure as code, and developer enablement.
Responsibilities
- Provision and manage cloud storage resources (AWS S3, GCP GCS) using Terraform and Harness, and execute Terraform plans across environments following established governance workflows.
- Build, enhance, and maintain Terraform modules for AWS/GCP services spanning compute, storage, networking, and IAM, with guidance from senior engineers.
- Develop and maintain Kubernetes and Helm patterns — including configuration of storage resources (PVs, PVCs, Storage Classes) — that simplify cloud-integrated workloads for consuming application teams.
- Write Python scripts, CLIs, and automation tooling for provisioning, data parsing and transformation, validation, diagnostics, and developer workflow support.
- Deploy and manage applications and storage components using Helm charts; perform CSI driver and sidecar upgrades following documented procedures.
- Define and support service contracts and integration interfaces used by application and platform teams, focusing on reliable consumption of cloud APIs, storage, IAM, and Kubernetes resources.
- Monitor and troubleshoot Kubernetes storage and cloud storage integrations, and perform routine maintenance including patching and version upgrades.
- Create blueprints, templates, reference architectures, and documentation that improve developer experience and accelerate cloud adoption across engineering teams.
- Validate infrastructure and application deployments across environments, and support continuous improvement of platform components.
- Collaborate with senior engineers on design improvements, implementation approaches, and documentation of infrastructure configurations, module usage, and operational procedures.
Qualifications
- 4-5 years' hands-on experience in software engineering or cloud platform engineering, with a strong foundation in software engineering principles including object-oriented programming and modular, maintainable code.
- Practical experience with Kubernetes and Helm, including deployment, storage resource configuration (PVs, PVCs, Storage Classes), and working knowledge of CSI drivers and sidecar management.
- Hands-on experience with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning via IaC; module authoring experience is a plus, though can be developed in this role.
- Proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, data parsing and transformation, CLI development, and validation tooling.
- Practical experience with AWS and/or GCP, including provisioning of compute, storage (S3/GCS), networking, and IAM resources; IaC-driven provisioning strongly preferred.
- Familiarity with Harness or similar infrastructure delivery platforms for executing and managing cloud provisioning workflows.
- Understanding of microservices architecture and how distributed applications consume platform APIs, cloud storage, IAM, networking, and Kubernetes services.
- Experience with Linux environments and comfort operating in command-line-driven infrastructure workflows.
- Strong interest in platform engineering, developer enablement, and automation with ability to produce clear documentation of infrastructure configurations and operational procedures.
- Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across cloud infrastructure, IaC, and Kubernetes storage integrations, with a continuous improvement mindset.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Platform Developer
Verify your CIP code supports this role
Platform Developer positions typically align with CIP codes under Computer Science (11.07) or Computer Engineering (14.09). Confirm your degree's CIP code with your DSO before applying, a mismatch between your credential and the role can trigger an I-983 rejection.
Check E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
An employer can intend to hire you and still be ineligible if they aren't enrolled in E-Verify. Search the E-Verify employer search tool by company name before your first interview so you don't waste time on companies that can't legally onboard STEM OPT students.
Search for platform roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters Platform Developer listings by E-Verify enrollment status, so every job you see is already eligible to hire STEM OPT students. Use it to target companies with active STEM OPT hiring history instead of sorting through unverified postings manually.
Build your I-983 training plan around platform deliverables
Your I-983 must connect your daily work to your STEM degree's learning objectives. For platform roles, map API architecture decisions, CI/CD pipeline ownership, or infrastructure-as-code responsibilities directly to coursework, vague descriptions like 'software development' increase the risk of DSO rejection.
Target employers with dedicated STEM OPT onboarding processes
Companies that have hired STEM OPT students before already have HR workflows for E-Verify completion, I-983 co-signing, and the 10-day reporting window. Ask recruiters directly whether they've previously onboarded STEM OPT engineers, experienced employers reduce your administrative risk significantly.
Use OFLC Wage Search to benchmark platform developer pay
USCIS requires that your STEM OPT training plan reflect bona fide employment, and below-market compensation can raise compliance questions. Pull the prevailing wage for your SOC code and metro area from OFLC Wage Search before negotiating your offer so your salary sits within the documented range.

Find Platform Developer JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a Platform Developer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your degree falls under an eligible STEM CIP code such as Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Information Systems, and your Platform Developer duties directly apply that field of study. Your DSO verifies the degree-to-role connection when approving your I-983. Roles focused on cloud infrastructure, API design, or developer tooling generally satisfy this requirement, but your DSO makes the final determination based on your specific degree and job description.
What E-Verify requirement applies to my Platform Developer employer?
Every employer who hires a STEM OPT student must be actively enrolled in E-Verify, not just registered. Enrollment must be in place before your employment start date. You can confirm status through the E-Verify employer search tool. If your employer hasn't enrolled, they cannot legally employ you on STEM OPT, regardless of how willing they are to support the extension.
What goes into the I-983 training plan for a Platform Developer position?
Your I-983 must describe specific learning objectives tied to your STEM degree, the practical skills you'll develop in the role, and how your supervisor will evaluate your progress. For Platform Developer roles, this typically includes infrastructure design, system integration, or software architecture work. Generic descriptions won't satisfy USCIS requirements, your DSO and employer must both co-sign a plan that clearly connects your daily responsibilities to your academic training.
How does cap-gap protection work if my employer files an H-1B for me during STEM OPT?
If your employer files a timely H-1B petition on your behalf and you're selected in the lottery, cap-gap automatically extends your STEM OPT work authorization through September 30 of the fiscal year the H-1B takes effect. You don't need to file separately for cap-gap, it applies automatically. Your employer can continue employing you in your Platform Developer role throughout this period as long as the petition remains pending or approved.
Where can I find Platform Developer jobs open to STEM OPT students?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for F-1 STEM OPT students and filters Platform Developer listings by E-Verify enrollment, so you can browse roles at companies already equipped to hire you. This saves you from applying to employers who lack the compliance infrastructure for STEM OPT onboarding, which is a common and avoidable delay for students in this status.
