Job details
This Charlotte, NC–based opportunity is for a full-time Associate Platform Engineer working onsite with a fast-growing organization building enterprise-grade AI solutions. This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, backend engineering, and client delivery, leveraging a modern stack centered around Python and AWS (Lambda, S3, SQS, DynamoDB, API Gateway, EC2) alongside React/TypeScript on the frontend. The position blends hands-on engineering with client-facing deployment support, offering exposure to real-world production systems at scale.
This is a high-impact, growth-oriented role ideal for a strong generalist engineer who thrives in ambiguous environments and enjoys diving into complex systems. Engineers in this role will work closely with forward-deployed teams, support live client environments, and contribute to internal product development.

- Exposure to AI/ML systems, LLMs, or agent-based architectures
- Experience building documentation, runbooks, or operational playbooks
- Background working in a startup or fast-paced client delivery environment
- Experience integrating with enterprise systems (ERP, TMS, accounting platforms, etc.)
