Platform Engineer

  • Location: Minneapolis , Minnesota
  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #52734

I’m partnered with a professional services client in the Twin Cities to bring on a Platform Engineer. I placed the hiring manager earlier this year and they are growing the team as they push from on-prem to the cloud. This role will be probably a 60/40 split initially DBA (SQL) vs Platform Eng work (Azure, IaC, CI/CD, Terraform etc.) and will continue to grow more focused on platform engineering with time.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys building scalable platforms, automating everything possible, and driving modernization rather than simply maintaining existing systems.

In this hire they are seeking a true “A” player to help modernize and scale a next-generation enterprise data platform. This role is focused on cloud infrastructure engineering, automation, platform reliability, and building scalable infrastructure patterns in a highly collaborative environment.

This is not a traditional DevOps / DBA role. The ideal candidate will bring deep cloud and infrastructure engineering experience, strong automation skills, and the ability to operate across modern platforms, DevOps, and data infrastructure initiatives.
 

Senior Business Analyst

  • Location: Minneapolis , Minnesota
  • Type: Direct Hire

Someone who can partner closely with senior stakeholders across HR, finance, and enterprise systems initiatives.

executive communication skills, and ideally experience within financial services, investment management, or similarly complex enterprise environments.

Senior Data Platform Engineer (GCP / AWS)

  • Location: Minneapolis , Minnesota
  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #52722

We are partnered with a longtime financial services client to bring on a talented Sr. Data Platform Engineer to help lead a full-scale modernization of its enterprise data ecosystem.

This is not a maintenance role and will require someone who can be both in the weeds coding daily while also acting as a technical SME. The team today is talented, lean, and intentionally moving away from a heavily Microsoft-centric environment and rebuilding its modern data platform from the ground (lots of greenfield work) up using GCP, BigQuery, AI-assisted engineering capabilities, and enterprise-scale architecture principles.

If you are looking for a high impact role with a company that’s truly looking to differentiate itself from its competition through modern technology + data capabilities we should connect.

Hybrid role onsite 3 days a week. Must be local to the Twin Cities.
