What the job involves

- Platform Engineering is becoming a strategic investment at Clutch, and we're looking for our first dedicated Staff Platform Engineer to help define what that looks like

- This isn't about maintaining infrastructure, it's about building the internal platform that enables every engineer at Clutch to move faster, ship safer, and operate at scale

- You'll partner closely with engineering leadership to define our platform strategy, establish engineering standards, and build the self-service tooling, infrastructure, and developer workflows that become the foundation for how engineering operates

- From CI/CD and cloud infrastructure to developer experience,



observability, and internal tooling, you'll own the technical direction of the platform and have the autonomy to build it the right way

- We're looking for someone who enjoys solving organization-wide engineering problems, thinks in systems rather than individual services, and wants to create leverage for dozens of engineers rather than shipping features for one product team

- This is a rare opportunity to build Platform Engineering from the ground up, defining the strategy, establishing the function, and growing the team as Clutch continues to scale

- Define and execute Clutch's Platform Engineering strategy

- Build and evolve our Internal Developer Platform to improve developer productivity through self-service tooling

- Own the architecture and evolution of our CI/CD platform and deployment workflows

- Design and scale cloud infrastructure using AWS, Terraform, and GitHub Actions

- Improve developer velocity through automation, platform tooling, and infrastructure improvements

- Define platform standards and reusable infrastructure patterns that improve reliability, observability, security, and operational excellence across the organization
