Role Overview

SolarWinds’ Platform Insights team builds internal platforms that help teams across the company—including Finance, DevOps, and Engineering—work more efficiently and make informed decisions. As a Platform Engineer, you will turn internal teams’ needs into reliable services and automation, with a focus on AI-enabled workflows, Python, and Terraform.

What You’ll Do

- Build and maintain internal services and APIs that provide trusted information about service ownership, dependencies, health, and cloud costs.

- Develop Python services and integrations across source control, identity, CI/CD, and cost data.

- Create AI-enabled automation and agent workflows that reduce manual work, using tools such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Glean for development and solutions such as self-service, ChatOps, and scheduled insights.

- Use Terraform to manage infrastructure and operate and improve team services on Kubernetes; contribute to CI/CD and deployment workflows.

- Improve service-catalog data and FinOps capabilities, including ownership and dependency data, cloud-cost attribution, and reporting.

- Partner with internal customers to understand their needs, provide rotating operational support, and improve platform reliability and usability.

Required Qualifications

- 4+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, developer tooling, automation, or a related field.

- Production experience with Terraform and Kubernetes (all team services run on Kubernetes).

- Strong Python skills and experience building production REST APIs with FastAPI or a similar framework.

- Experience building automation and integrating third-party APIs or webhooks; familiarity with AI tools such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, or Glean and an interest in applying them thoughtfully.
