[Remote] Sr. Platform Engineer (Integrations Platform)
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Istari Digital is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to join their Integrations Platform team. The role involves leading the design and delivery of major features and projects while collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance integration authoring experiences and developer tooling.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and delivery of major features and projects within the Integrations Platform — SDKs, agents, job pipelines, and related services — carrying them from inception through customer production
- Drive the evolution of the integration authoring experience, including AI-enabled workflows that scale how integrations are built and maintained
- Champion reliability, scalability, and observability practices across the agent ecosystem and integrations lifecycle, and hold the features you build to that bar
- Build developer tooling, packages, and libraries that reduce friction and accelerate integration development and adoption
- Partner with product, platform, and customer success teams to translate customer needs into concrete technical designs for the features and projects you lead
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship — raise the engineering bar through design reviews, architecture input, and hands-on guidance
- Lead cross-functional initiatives spanning workflow orchestration, service scaling, and job orchestration
- Evaluate and introduce emerging technologies and frameworks for integration authoring, automation, and platform capabilities
Skills
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant time designing and scaling distributed systems, developer platforms, or integrations frameworks
- Demonstrated experience owning the architecture of significant features or subsystems end-to-end — you've made the tradeoffs and lived with the consequences
- Strong coding ability across backend services, SDKs, developer tooling, and agent-based systems. Specific language experience isn't crucial — our stack is primarily Python, with a growing share in Go, key components in Java and C#, and a TypeScript/React front end
- Experience working on edge platforms — Windows especially, plus Linux (desktop and server) and macOS — including low-level platform and administrative considerations (permissions, services/daemons, packaging, filesystem quirks) unique to each OS
- Experience working with multiple orchestration models for distributed systems (e.g., DAG-based schedulers, event-driven pipelines, actor systems, queue-based task workers) would be ideal
- Hands-on familiarity with AI-assisted development or agentic workflow systems
- Strong grounding in system reliability, security, and performance optimization for developer-facing platforms
- A track record of technical leadership and mentorship — you've grown engineers and shaped practices within your team, not just shipped code
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions across the teams you work with
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
- Must be a US citizen or permanent resident living within the United States
