Senior Platform Engineer

This is a small, lean team where infrastructure decisions have an outsized impact on everyone's productivity. The role is as much organizational as it is technical: communicating changes before they land, getting buy-in, and building systems the whole team can operate independently.

This is a fully remote, US-based role.

Responsibilities

• Simplify and maintain the CI/CD pipelines for a multi-project monorepo, ensuring they are predictable, fast, and operable by the broader engineering team without specialized knowledge.
• Plan and execute infrastructure changes incrementally, with clear rollout steps, validation strategies, and rollback plans that are communicated to the team before work begins.
• Build and maintain operational documentation, runbooks, monitoring, and alerting that enable other engineers to independently troubleshoot and respond to production issues.
• Collaborate with DevOps teammates across the organization to align on shared infrastructure standards including network design, permissions models, and deployment patterns.
• Contribute directly to application code in Python and Typescript when platform concerns cross into the application layer, such as database performance, service configuration, or integration points.
• Partner with QA to ensure infrastructure changes are properly tested and that the team has confidence in what's being shipped to each environment.
• Actively use and champion AI tools to accelerate infrastructure and developer experience work.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE, with meaningful time spent in environments where reliability and compliance matter.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Terraform, and container orchestration (ECS, EKS, or similar), including comfort with networking fundamentals like load balancing, TLS termination, and proxy configuration.
• Solid Python skills and willingness to work across the stack when platform concerns extend into application code.
• Has built and maintained CI/CD pipelines that other engineers actually trust, and has executed infrastructure changes incrementally rather than through high-risk big-bang rollouts.
• Experience working in a small team where you had to balance speed, simplicity, and doing things right, rather than defaulting to enterprise-scale tooling.
• Actively uses AI tools in daily work to accelerate delivery while maintaining high standards for security and code quality.
• Communicates clearly and works effectively across engineering, QA, and compliance stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience with healthcare data infrastructure or compliance frameworks such as HIPAA or HITRUST.
• Familiarity with Snowflake administration and performance tuning in a platform that serves both transactional and analytical workloads.
• Experience collaborating effectively across time zones and cultures in a fully remote environment.
