About The Position

As a Senior Engineer on the INFOPS Application Development team, you will play a key role in designing, building, and operating the platforms that support WWT’s internal application development organization. This position blends hands-on technical execution with platform ownership, automation, and close collaboration with application and partner engineering teams. The INFOPS Application Development team operates within WWT’s Internal IT Platform Engineering organization and focuses on enabling developers. The team builds and evolves platforms, workflows, and automation that allow application teams to safely and efficiently self-service infrastructure, deployments, and integrations. Our work emphasizes Platform Engineering best practices, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and automation. As the organization continues to mature, the team is also evolving toward AI-native engineering, incorporating intelligent automation and AI-assisted workflows to reduce operational toil, improve reliability, and accelerate delivery across the software development lifecycle. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy building leverage—creating systems and patterns that multiply the effectiveness of developers and other engineers—and who want to have a direct, visible impact on how modern engineering practices scale across WWT IT.
