About the Role

Platform Engineering is a strategic investment at Clutch, and we are seeking our first dedicated Staff Platform Engineer to define its direction. This role focuses on building the internal platform that empowers engineers to move faster, ship safer, and operate at scale, rather than just maintaining infrastructure. You will partner with engineering leadership to shape platform strategy, establish standards, and develop self-service tooling, infrastructure, and workflows that form the bedrock of engineering operations. Your responsibilities will span CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, developer experience, observability, and internal tooling, with the autonomy to guide the platform's technical direction. We are looking for individuals who excel at solving organization-wide engineering challenges, think in terms of systems, and aim to create leverage for numerous engineers.

Responsibilities

Define and execute Clutch's Platform Engineering strategy.
Build and evolve our Internal Developer Platform to improve developer productivity through self-service tooling.
Own the architecture and evolution of our CI/CD platform and deployment workflows.
Design and scale cloud infrastructure using AWS, Terraform, and GitHub Actions.
Improve developer velocity through automation, platform tooling, and infrastructure improvements.
Define platform standards and reusable infrastructure patterns that improve reliability, observability, security, and operational excellence across the organization.

Requirements

8+ years building cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or developer tooling at scale.
Experience operating as a Staff Engineer, Technical Lead, or senior individual contributor driving technical strategy across multiple teams.
Deep experience with AWS, Terraform, Docker, and modern CI/CD platforms.
Strong software engineering mindset with experience building tooling in Python, Go, JavaScript, or similar languages.
Experience designing scalable developer platforms, deployment systems, or engineering enablement tooling.
Proven ability to identify organization-wide technical problems and build long-term solutions rather than short-term fixes.
Excellent written communication and documentation skills with the ability to influence engineers and technical leadership.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment with significant ownership and ambiguity.
