Job Description Summary

The Staff Infrastructure & Platform Engineer is a hands‑on builder on the platform team, implementing and operating the pipeline, shared services, and environments under the standards and reliability practices set by the Sr Infrastructure & Platform Engineer and the Director. This is a build-and-operate seat focused on getting platform capability into product teams' hands and keeping it reliable.

The role builds to standards rather than defining them, and grows into deeper ownership over time. Success improves Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost by expanding the paved road's coverage and keeping day-to-day platform operations dependable.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities:

Platform build

- Build and maintain features of the golden-path pipeline, shared services, and environments
- Implement infrastructure-as-code for provisioning and environment management

Operations and reliability

- Participate in monitoring, alerting, and the on‑call rotation; respond to incidents and support post‑incident problem solving
- Help meet the service‑level objectives for platform services

Enablement

- Support product teams onboarding to the paved road and maintain the technical documentation they build against

Standards conformance

- Build to the architecture and platform standards set above the role, raising gaps with a proposed pattern rather than a local workaround

Basic qualifications (required)

- Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college with a minimum of 4 years of professional experience OR Associate's degree with a minimum of 7 years of professional experience OR High School Diploma with a minimum of 9 years of professional experience.




- Minimum 3 years of skilled experience in Infrastructure & Platform Engineering or IT.
- Note: Military experience is equivalent to professional experience.

Eligibility requirement

- Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. GE Aerospace will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job.

Desired characteristics (preferred, not mandatory)

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or Engineering (STEM major preferred).
- Certification such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect or Developer, or Microsoft Azure Administrator or Developer Associate.
- Hands‑on experience with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, containers, and basic observability.
- Exposure to operating production services, including monitoring and on‑call participation.
- Scripting and automation ability (e.g., Python, Bash) and version‑control discipline.
- Comfort as a hands‑on contributor on a lean, standards‑driven team.
- Defense, aerospace, or other regulated or export‑controlled environment background.

Success metrics

- Platform features and automation delivered within sprint capacity
- Reliability contribution: monitoring coverage and incident‑response participation
- Infrastructure‑as‑code adoption for the components owned
- Documentation kept current for teams onboarding to the paved road
- Rework caused by standards non‑conformance

Why this role

- This is where platform capability gets built and kept running day to day. On a small, standards‑driven team you will see what you build go straight into product teams' hands, learn SRE and platform engineering from the senior engineer, and grow into deeper ownership of the paved road.

Notes:

The base pay range for this position is $112, 000 to $165,
