Platform Engineer (Early to Mid-level)- Geospatial Data Systems | Carbon Mapper | Remote
Carbon Mapper is looking for a Platform Engineer to support, operate, and improve the cloud infrastructure, deployment workflows, observability systems, automation, and operational practices that power Carbon Mapper’s Data Platform.
The Platform Engineer will work closely with our Engineering and Science teams to support AWS cloud services, GitLab CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, monitoring and alerting, incident response, operational documentation, and developer enablement. Carbon Mapper’s current platform uses AWS services including Lambda, Step Functions, ECS, AWS Batch, CloudWatch, S3, IAM, and related networking, along with GitLab, New Relic, and PagerDuty.
This role is well suited for someone who wants to grow across platform engineering, AWS, CI/CD, reliability, and data platform operations- and who is excited to apply that work toward climate action.
