Staff Platform Engineer

Job Overview

Hamilton AI is seeking a Staff Platform Engineer to own the infrastructure and internal platforms that enable our engineering team to ship fast without breaking critical systems. This role is infrastructure-first, with a secondary focus in backend or QA engineering. We're building the operating system for charter aviation, handling everything from trip planning to safety-critical data and sensitive customer information.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and operate Hamilton's CI/CD pipelines, build systems, deployment workflows, and runtime environments


• Build abstractions that standardize how services are built, tested, deployed, and observed


• Create release infrastructure, rollback strategies, and production validation systems


• Build automated verification loops and quality signals for AI-accelerated development


• Shape the integration of AI tooling into our development workflow as core infrastructure


• Contribute to API design, service architecture, or automation frameworks based on your secondary skillset


• Shape the long-term platform roadmap aligned with enterprise and regulatory requirements

Who Thrives in This Role

You've likely been the go-to person when builds break or deploys are problematic. You've built CI/CD pipelines that teams trust and are excited about AI's impact on code development. You:

• Own problems end-to-end without waiting for specifications


• Think in systems and tradeoffs rather than just tasks


• Value reliability in environments where failure is costly


• Communicate clearly across engineering, product, and leadership


• Believe great platform work enables fast shipping rather than hindering it
