[Hiring] Senior Platform Engineer @System Soft Technologies

Role Description

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.

• 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.

Qualifications

• 6-10+ years professional software engineering with deep Python expertise.
• Proven experience building reusable libraries/SDKs used by other teams (not just apps/services).
• Experience with API design for libraries (stability, ergonomics, backward compatibility).
• Experience with Python packaging and publishing (wheels, pyproject.toml, dependency management, internal PyPI/artifact repos).
• Strong testing discipline for libraries: unit tests, mocks, contract tests, CI quality gates.
• Strong documentation skills: README/quickstarts, examples, "how-to" guides.
