Please review the following job description:
The Lead Software Platform Engineer for Foundational Platform & Interoperability plays a critical role in designing and delivering the enterprise abstractions, automation frameworks, and declarative interoperability capabilities that power Truist's next generation software delivery ecosystem. This role focuses on building reusable platform services, not one-off tooling-establishing the manifest-driven, policy-as-code, orchestration, and lifecycle automation foundations that enable teams to integrate, deliver, and operate software with consistency, resilience, and auditability.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who applies a software engineering mindset to platform problems, builds scalable internal products, and thrives in creating the connective tissue that makes large, federated engineering organizations feel unified. They will help establish and evolve core interoperability patterns-such as automated change controls, standardized integration contracts, golden-path onboarding, asset lifecycle intelligence, CI/CD abstraction layers, and cross-platform agentic automation-ensuring teams can build and ship with velocity while meeting regulatory expectations.
This role is central to Truist's modernization strategy: turning platform capabilities into consumable products, reducing cognitive load for engineers, and enabling a fully integrated ecosystem where services, systems, and teams interoperate through clear contracts, automated governance, and platform-led consistency.
For this opportunity, Truist will not sponsor an applicant for work visa status or employment authorization, nor will we offer any immigration-related support for this position (including, but not limited to H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 STEM OPT, F-1 CPT, J-1, TN-1 or TN-2, E-3, O-1, or future sponsorship for U.S. lawful permanent residence status.)
This position is office-centric 5 days a week in one of our Truist hub locations.
