About the RoleWe're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer who sits at the intersection of software development and infrastructure. You'll design and build the foundation our engineering teams ship on - codifying AWS infrastructure with Terraform and Pulumi, running workloads across ECS, EKS, and EC2, and playing a central role in our migration from monolithic services to a microservices architecture. This is a hands-on role for someone who writes production-quality code, thinks in systems, and raises the bar for the engineers around them.
What You'll Do- Design, build, and maintain AWS infrastructure as code using Terraform and Pulumi, with an emphasis on reusable modules, safe change management, and multi-account/multi-environment patterns
- Operate and evolve container platforms across ECS and EC2, including cluster architecture, autoscaling, networking, and cost optimization
- Drive our migration to microservices: decompose existing services, establish golden paths for service scaffolding, CI/CD, and deployment, and partner with product engineering teams through the transition
- Build internal tooling and automation in a general-purpose language (Python, Go, or TypeScript) - this role writes real software, not just configuration
- Own and advance our observability practice in Datadog: SLOs, dashboards, alerting strategy, distributed tracing, and driving down noise so on-call is humane
- Lead incident response and post-incident reviews; turn findings into durable platform improvements
- Mentor engineers, review designs and code, and set technical direction for platform standards across teams
- Champion security, compliance, and reliability best practices appropriate to a healthcare environment
RequirementsWhat You'll Bring- 10+ years in platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles, with a strong software development background - you're comfortable being evaluated on both your code and your architecture
- Deep, production experience with Terraform and hands-on experience with Pulumi (or strong Terraform plus a compelling reason we should trust you to ramp fast)
- Expert-level AWS knowledge: compute (ECS, Serverless,EC2), networking (VPC, load balancing, DNS), IAM, and the surrounding ecosystem
- Proficiency in at least one of Python, Go, or TypeScript, including testing and CI practices
- Direct experience decomposing monoliths or migrating platforms to microservices, and the scars to prove it - service boundaries, data migration, traffic cutover, rollback strategy
- Strong observability chops: metrics, logging, tracing, SLO design (Datadog experience is a plus)
- Demonstrated leadership: mentoring engineers, leading cross-team initiatives, communicating clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to Have- Experience in regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2)
- GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD platform experience at org scale
- Experience with release management, deployment gates, and progressive delivery (canary, blue/green)
Benefits- Annual Salary up to $170,000
- Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
- Retirement Plan (Roth 401k)
- Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
- Flexible PTO Policy
- Paid Holidays
- Short Term Disability
- Training & Development
