Platform Engineer | Growth and Transformation

The Growth and Transformation team at Red Ventures is seeking a Platform Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems at scale. In this role, you’ll shape and optimize our multi-cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Databricks), ensuring they are secure, reliable, and cost-efficient. You’ll work across diverse engineering teams, bringing both hands-on expertise and strategic influence to how we build, scale, and govern our infrastructure.

If you’re looking for a role where you’ll tackle challenges across multi-region availability, automation, data governance, and cost optimization—while growing your skills in a collaborative, high-impact environment—this is the place for you.

This role requires a hybrid schedule and will be based in our South Charlotte, NC Headquarters (Tuesday through Thursday) and work fully remotely on Mondays and Fridays each week.

What You’ll Do:

• Engineer and optimize resilient multi-cloud (AWS/GCP) and multi-region environments.
• Secure and govern platforms by implementing compliance frameworks and IAM best practices.
• Automate everything with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and custom tooling.
• Optimize costs and performance across AWS, GCP, and Databricks by leveraging monitoring and observability tools.
• Collaborate deeply with engineering teams to shape architecture, resolve incidents, and deliver improvements.
• Contribute to strategy by influencing architectural decisions and scaling best practices.

What We’re Looking For:

• 3–5 years of platform engineering or cloud infrastructure experience
• Strong hands-on expertise in AWS and GCP (multi-cloud, multi-region)
• Proficiency in infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
• Experience implementing cloud security and compliance frameworks
• Skilled in scripting/automation (Python, Bash, Go)
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with cloud cost management tools (Cost Explorer, Cloudability, etc.)
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate across diverse teams

Bonus Points for:

• Direct Databricks administration experience
• Certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Architect, Databricks)
• Knowledge of regulated environments (SOC2, PCI, GDPR, financial services)
• Experience with chaos engineering or disaster recovery planning
• Exposure to Salesforce, Adobe, or data lake/warehouse architectures

Why Join Us?

At Red Ventures, we believe infrastructure isn’t just about keeping the lights on—it’s about powering growth, innovation, and resilience. As part of our Growth and Transformation team, you’ll have the autonomy to design solutions, improve systems, and leave a lasting impact on how we scale. You’ll join a culture that values collaboration, learning, and delivering results together.
