Senior Platform Engineer, Data Platforms

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract. 

As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations. 

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to own the infrastructure, automation, security, and reliability of Rivian’s Data Platform, built on Databricks and AWS. This is a platform and DevOps role at its core: you will treat our data platform as a product, providing data engineers, analysts, and data scientists with a secure, well-governed, observable, and cost-efficient environment where they can move fast without breaking things.

You will define and manage the platform as code with Terraform, harden its security posture, build the CI/CD and deployment patterns the rest of the team relies on, and establish the monitoring and observability needed to keep the platform healthy at scale. We value a platform mindset of someone who looks at every solution and asks: “How do we make this more scalable, more secure, more automated, and more self-service?”

We don’t believe in manual drudgery. Our team stays ahead of the curve by integrating the world’s most advanced AI tools into our daily workflows. You will have full access to Gemini, Claude and Devin to accelerate architecture design, automate boilerplate, and focus your energy on solving complex platform challenges.
