Senior Platform Engineer - Integration Platform

Job Summary:

• Client is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to help build a next-generation enterprise integration platform from the ground up. This team is leading a strategic initiative to re-platform away from MuleSoft and establish a scalable, cloud-native integration ecosystem built on modern microservices architecture.
• This role is focused on building the platform that enables integrations—not developing the integrations themselves. You will design and develop the foundational services, SDKs, observability capabilities, workflow orchestration, and platform tooling that enable internal teams to rapidly integrate with enterprise systems such as Salesforce, SAP, Coupa, and Kinaxis. The platform is currently in early infancy, MVP stage.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and enhance core platform services using Python and microservices architectures.
• Develop reusable SDKs, wrappers, and platform capabilities that accelerate integration development.
• Build and support platform components including:
• Event streaming and messaging (Kafka)
• API management and governance
• Secrets and configuration management
• Observability, monitoring, and telemetry solutions
• Workflow orchestration capabilities
• Drive platform reliability, performance, and operational excellence.
• Contribute to OpenTelemetry implementation and observability strategy.

Experience:

• 7+ years of software engineering experience with strong Python development expertise.
• Experience building cloud-native applications and microservices platforms.
• Hands-on experience with Kafka or other event-driven architectures.
• Strong understanding of API design, API gateways, and integration platform concepts.
• Experience with monitoring, observability, and telemetry tooling such as Grafana and OpenTelemetry.
• Knowledge of secrets management, configuration management, and platform security best practices.
• Experience building developer-facing platforms, frameworks, SDKs, or shared engineering services.
• Strong understanding of scalability, resiliency, and distributed systems design.
