Platform Engineer

Equifax is where you can power your possible. If you want to achieve your true potential, chart new paths, develop new skills, collaborate with bright minds,  and make a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you.

Platform Engineering at Equifax is a discipline that combines software and systems engineering for building and running large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems. A Platform Engineer ensures that internal and external services meet or exceed reliability and performance expectations while adhering to Equifax engineering principles.

Platform Engineering is also an engineering approach to building and running production systems – we engineer solutions to operational problems. Our Platform Engineers are responsible for overall system operation and we use a breadth of tools and approaches to solve a broad set of problems. Practices such as limiting time spent on operational work, blameless postmortems, proactive identification, and prevention of potential outages.

Our culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is key to its success. Equifax brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big, and take risks in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to build an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn, grow and take pride in our work
