Platform Engineer

Carrix provides the technology that supports marine terminal operations, where cargo moves between vessels, trucks, rail, and storage yards. The Terminal Solutions & Integrations team manages the platforms that coordinate this activity, including Terminal Operating Systems (TOS), Gate Operating Systems (GOS), and the applications, integrations, infrastructure, and field technologies that connect them.

The Platform Engineer helps keep these business-critical systems stable, secure, integration, and available for continuous operations. This hands-on role ranges from platform engineering, deployments, integrations, system improvements, and complex production troubleshooting to routine application, computer, and mobile-device configuration. The position also serves as a technical escalation resource and provides guidance to TOS Administration and supporting technical teams, without direct supervisory responsibility.

How we work is as important as what we deliver. We are committed to a workplace where employees feel welcome, respected, and valued. Our success is strengthened by the different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences our employees bring to the work. Every employee shares responsibility for sustaining that environment through collaboration, empathy, respect, and kindness.
