Job Opportunities

Mutual of Omaha is seeking a Cloud Platform Developer Engineer who brings both strong AWS cloud infrastructure expertise and hands-on software development experience. This distinction matters. In this role you will own and operate the AWS platform that powers application development teams across Workplace Solutions, author reusable AWS CDK constructs and shared libraries in TypeScript, and serve as the technical resource those developers call when they are stuck — whether the problem lives in the platform or in their code.

You will work at the intersection of cloud engineering, software development, and platform enablement, partnering with teams across the organization to simplify cloud complexity and accelerate delivery. You will think like a developer, build shared libraries that other engineers consume, and bring a software engineering mindset to every infrastructure problem. We are especially interested in someone with a curious mindset who actively explores and incorporates emerging technologies including AI to continuously evolve our platform capabilities.

If you have spent your career exclusively writing infrastructure YAML and Terraform HCL with no software development experience, this role is likely not the right fit. If you have a strong cloud infrastructure background and have also built shared libraries, authored CDK constructs in TypeScript, or worked closely alongside application development teams to solve problems at the code level, we would love to connect. Apply today.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU:

• Estimated Salary: Engineer II: $115,000 - $135,000, plus annual bonus opportunity
• Engineer III: $130,000 - $150,000, plus annual bonus opportunity
• 401(k) plan with a 2% company contribution and 6% company match.
• Work-life balance with vacation, personal time and paid holidays. See our benefits and perks page for details.
• This role is classified as remote; however, periodic in-person attendance will be required at times for activities such as quarterly or project planning, training, or other business-critical meetings.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Write production-grade TypeScript using AWS CDK to design, build, test, and maintain Infrastructure as Code for public cloud environments
• Build and maintain shared construct libraries and platform services consumed by engineering teams across the department, treating infrastructure like software with versioning, testing, and documentation
• Serve as the cloud subject matter expert, enabling development teams to achieve the organization's cloud vision through hands-on guidance and troubleshooting
• Configure and manage common cloud services in production environments
• Collaborate across teams to uncover delivery pain points and drive platform improvements
• Apply software engineering best practices including code reviews, unit testing, design patterns, and clean architecture to infrastructure code

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

• 5+ years of hands-on development experience using an object-oriented language, TypeScript strongly preferred
• Two or more of the following competencies:   
• Infrastructure as a Code (Preferred: AWS CDK, Cloud Formation)    
• Containerization with Docker (Preferred: Kubernetes, Elastic Container Service (ECS), Fargate)   
• Databases (Preferred: Postgres, RDS Aurora, MongoDB)   
• Message/Data Streaming (Preferred: AWS MSK, Kafka)   
• GitHub, GitHub Actions, Git for version control 

• Experience building shared libraries, reusable constructs, or internal platform services used by other engineering teams
• Experience with distributed cloud platform configuration, deployment, and lifecycle management automation tools.   
• Understanding of security and compliance for a cloud environment. 
• Experience building/managing cloud services by automating/orchestrating complex processes using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) within a single cloud environment.   
• You promote a culture of diversity and inclusion, value different ideas and opinions, and listen courageously, remaining curious in all that you do.
• Able to work remotely with access to a high-speed internet connection and located in the United States or Puerto Rico.

PREFERRED:

• Prior experience on a platform engineering or cloud enablement team
• Familiarity with software engineering best practices: design patterns, unit testing infrastructure code with Jest or CDK assertions, code reviews, and documentation
• Strong interpersonal communication with both technical and nontechnical audiences
• Curiosity about and hands-on experimentation with AI and emerging technologies
• Strong interpersonal communication with both technical and nontechnical audiences. 
• Prior experience with cloud governance or enablement initiatives.
• Proficiency in Software Engineering and best practices. 

We value diverse experience, skills, and passion for innovation. If your experience aligns with the listed requirements, please apply!
