Position Summary & Responsibilities

Paperless Parts is the SaaS-based intelligence layer for modern manufacturing, enabling our customers to innovate faster in the physical world. From rockets to medical devices, we power the parts that move the world forward.

This position requires activities that are subject to US Export Control Laws and require US Citizenship or Green Card Holder.

The Opportunity

Paperless Parts is looking for a Platform Engineer II to join Bedrock, the platform engineering team that builds and runs the infrastructure behind our SaaS platform for manufacturing shops. You will own the delivery of well-scoped infrastructure projects and system components end to end, helping manage cloud resources as code and improving how our engineering teams build, test, and ship software.

This mid-level role is the perfect foundation for growth toward a Senior Platform Engineer, allowing you to take on real ownership of production infrastructure. You will participate fully in team operations, help onboard newer engineers, and shape how AI-assisted tooling accelerates our software development lifecycle.

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

Independent Ownership: Within your first 90 days you've shipped an infrastructure change through the full path — module, plan review, apply, monitoring — and by six months you own a Bedrock component (a Redstone stack, a pipeline family, or a tooling area) that teammates come to you about.
Terragrunt Modules Contributed: You've authored or refactored reusable OpenTofu/Terragrunt modules that pass review, follow the team's conventions, and are adopted in stacks beyond the one you built them for.
Pipelines Measurably Better: Something a product engineering team can name got easier because of your Jenkins work — faster builds or deploys, fewer flaky failures, or quicker recovery — and you can show the before and after.
Trusted On-Call: You're a full member of the rotation, your incident handoffs are clear, and the follow-ups you own land as durable fixes with written learnings rather than repeat pages.
Lifting Newer Engineers: Your reviews and docs are good enough that a newer engineer or co-op has learned part of the platform from them, and you've paired with or onboarded at leas

Key Role Focus:

Measures domain translation speed—how fast a technologist can grasp traditional manufacturing/job-shop workflows and map them to SaaS architecture.

📋 Preparation Priorities (Key Areas to Clarify):

1. Dismissing traditional industries as unsophisticated or treating manufacturing users as non-technical
2. Proposing overly complex, ivory-tower architectures instead of practical, high-velocity features
3. Inability to connect software architecture decisions directly to top-line customer revenue metrics

✨ Recommended Role Alignment Hook:

I bridge deep industrial workflows with modern, high-velocity SaaS architecture to unlock massive efficiency for manufacturers.
