Job Description
A consulting client of Insight Global is seeking a Platform Integration Engineer to support large-scale data, analytics, and platform modernization initiatives for Huron Consulting Group and its clients. This individual will work closely with engineering leaders, data teams, and client stakeholders to assess existing analytics applications, understand data flows and integration points, and design pragmatic integration patterns that enable interoperability across diverse systems without unnecessary re-platforming. Responsibilities include building and maintaining shared platform services such as authentication, logging, observability, and configuration management; contributing to cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code practices; and partnering with domain experts to surface data from multiple compute environments in a consistent and accessible way. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in complex, ambiguous environments typical of consulting engagements, can clearly articulate technical tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and brings a pragmatic, outcomes-driven mindset to platform and integration decisions. This role emphasizes collaboration, ownership, and reliability, with opportunities to influence platform patterns that support scalable, repeatable delivery across client engagements.

This is a fully remote position and a 12-month contract with possibility of extension and/or conversion. This position can pay between $60-$65/hour with medical benefits and 401k options offered on contract. If interested, please apply!
