Platform Engineer

PadSplit is looking for a senior Platform Engineer to strengthen our backend systems and ensure the stability, scalability, and performance of our core marketplace platform. This role is critical as we modernize our architecture, build new services, and improve reliability across our Django- and AWS-powered infrastructure. While primarily backend-focused, this engineer will occasionally partner on frontend work to support cross-pod needs.

We’re looking for a highly skilled backend-focused engineer who thrives in complex systems, enjoys untangling technical challenges, and writes clean, maintainable code. You bring deep experience with Django and AWS, a strong sense of ownership, and the ability to collaborate effectively in a multi-pod, cross-functional engineering environment. You’re adaptable, thoughtful, and energized by the mission of building technology that expands access to affordable housing.
