Software Engineer II, Platform

Crane Worldwide Logistics is hiring a Software Engineer II, Platform to design, deliver, and operate engineering platforms used by other teams. The role establishes reusable engineering patterns and standards, improves reliability and developer experience, and supports cross-team incident response and technical decision-making.

Responsibilities:

• Own the day-to-day design, delivery, and operation of the platforms above, balancing delivery speed against long-term maintainability and reliability
• Define and evolve the "paved path" for other engineering teams: reusable Terraform modules, Dev Container templates, CI/CD workflows, and golden-path patterns that reduce toil and enforce good defaults
• Set and uphold engineering standards for testing, reliability, security, observability, secrets handling, and feature-flag hygiene across the organization
• Build and improve observability in Grafana and incident workflows in Incident.io so issues are caught early and resolved with durable fixes
• Curate and grow the internal AI skill marketplace – setting quality and safety standards, reviewing submissions, and helping teams find and build the right skills for their work
• Mentor Engineer I and II teammates and provide high-signal code and design reviews, with particular attention to platform and cross-team impact
• Partner with product and design to shape scope, surface risks, and plan realistic roadmaps
• Lead incident response for platform-level and cross-service issues, and drive durable fixes and prevention rather than one-off patches
• Champion developer experience – reducing friction, onboarding time, build/deploy times, and cognitive load for engineers building on the platform

Requirements:

• Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or related field or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent on platform, infrastructure, or systems-level engineering
• Deep backend expertise and full-stack fluency; mastery of C#/F# on .NET Core, minimal APIs, background hosted services, and serverless (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions)
• Hands-on experience with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code, including designing reusable modules/templates for other teams to consume; strong GitHub fluency including repo/branch governance and GitHub Actions CI/CD
• Strong command of relational data (SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL) and event-driven messaging (Kafka, Azure Service Bus)
• Practical experience with secrets management (Doppler or equivalent), feature flagging/progressive delivery (LaunchDarkly or equivalent), Dev Containers or comparable local environment tooling, and dashboards/alerting in Grafana or comparable tools
• Proven ability to design and operate systems other engineers build on, and to align a team behind technical decisions; familiarity with incident management tooling and process (Incident.io or equivalent) and interest or hands-on experience with internal AI tooling ecosystems, such as building, curating, or governing a marketplace of reusable AI skills/agents
• Designs reliable systems others build on and raises the engineering bar for the team
• Thinks Analytically: weighs the costs, benefits, risks and chances for success when making a decision
• Is Proactive: takes on new opportunities and tough challenges with a sense of urgency, high energy and enthusiasm
• Focuses on Performance: holds self and others accountable to meet commitments
• Collaborates: builds partnerships internally and externally to meet shared objectives
• Influences: gains support for ideas and proposals through clear, audience-aware communication
