“I can succeed as a Senior Platform Engineer at Capital Group.”

As a Senior Engineer on our enterprise-wide technology team, you won't just maintain infrastructure — you'll architect the backbone of Capital Group's cloud ecosystem. Your work will power the automation, tooling, and platform capabilities that thousands of engineers rely on every day to deliver business-critical applications and services at scale.

What You'll Do

• Architect & Innovate — Design, develop, and optimize sophisticated cloud infrastructure automation on AWS, pushing the boundaries of what Infrastructure as Code can achieve across the enterprise.
• Infuse AI into Infrastructure — Leverage AI and machine learning capabilities to build intelligent automation — from predictive scaling and anomaly detection to AI-powered troubleshooting, self-healing systems, and intelligent resource optimization that make the platform smarter with every deployment.
• Empower Teams — Build self-service capabilities that enable internal engineering teams to move faster, deploy with confidence, and leverage Capital Group's cloud platform without friction — including AI-assisted developer tools and copilot-driven workflows.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally — Partner with software engineers, platform engineers, product managers, and product owners to deliver high-quality features across the full Internal Developer Platform product lifecycle.
• Secure the Enterprise — Work hand-in-hand with security, risk, and compliance teams to embed protection into every layer of the platform — making security a feature, not a bottleneck.
• Drive Engineering Excellence — Champion best practices, optimize performance, and establish scalable automation patterns — including AI-augmented operational practices — that elevate the entire organization's engineering maturity.

• Developer Experience - Obsessively refactor IaC modules to ensure they are so intuitive, self-documenting, and foolproof that developers can provision complex infrastructure in seconds, not hours. Own the IaC developer experience end-to-end: build agentic workflows and tooling, author custom Terraform providers in Go, and expose Terraform Enterprise capabilities through thoughtfully designed interfaces that make every internal customer's interaction feel effortless

• Hands on experience leveraging AI‑assisted development tools, automation agents, or platform‑level AI capabilities to improve engineering productivity, reliability, and scale, while complying with approved enterprise AI platforms, security controls, and audit requirement
• Strong understanding of version control, secure coding practices, and peer-reviewed development workflows
• Background in Linux, networking, and Kubernetes
