About The Position

State Farm is seeking Software Engineers and Lead Software Engineers for our Platform Engineering Team to help engineering teams build and operate resilient, enterprise-grade cloud applications—with greater ease, speed, and cost efficiency. Our Platform Engineering team delivers automated platform capabilities that simplify complex cloud workflows and provide data-driven insight into cost, risk, and compliance while scaling Engineering efforts across the organization. We’re re-thinking and building transparency and control into the way teams design, ship, and run systems. As we evolve, we’re accelerating intelligent automation and AI-powered capabilities—not just inside the platform, but also across internal workflows—to improve outcomes and streamline delivery. In this AWS-focused role, you’ll help shape the future of enterprise cloud platform engineering by owning architecture and implementation of advanced new patterns in our platform. You’ll partner with engineering and support teams to enable secure, scalable public cloud adoption, and you’ll turn platform needs into practical solutions that production engineering teams can rely on. You’ll build using Terraform, Python, and Go, and apply AI tooling and intelligent automation to improve infrastructure and operations, increase engineering throughput, and deliver scalable, reliable platform capabilities aligned to business goals.
