The Difference You Will Make

As Midi scales, the systems and services underneath our product need to scale with us - reliably, securely, and without slowing down the teams building on top. You'll build the core services, shared libraries, infrastructure, and developer tooling that every product engineer at Midi depends on, making it easy for them to ship fast and safely in a regulated environment.
What You Will Do
  • Build and own core platform services - authentication, authorization, notifications, jobs/queues, feature flags, and the shared building blocks product teams reuse
  • Build developer productivity tooling - local dev environments, test infrastructure, CI/CD, preview environments, internal CLIs, and the paved paths that make the right way the easy way
  • Design and operate the cloud infrastructure and deployment platform product teams build on
  • Drive improvements in reliability, observability, performance, and cost
  • Harden our security and compliance posture in a HIPAA environment (encryption, access controls, audit, incident response)
  • Own on-call and incident response practices; turn incidents into durable improvements
  • Partner with product engineers to unblock them and shape technical direction across services
  • Use AI tools actively across services, infrastructure-as-code, tooling, and day-to-day engineering
About You
  • 6+ years of experience building production services and/or infrastructure at scale
  • Strong hands-on coding skills (Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar) - you ship real services and tools, not just configuration
  • Seasoned at system design: deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, data modeling, networking, storage, and cloud primitives (AWS/GCP)
  • Fluent with modern platform tooling: Terraform/IaC, Kubernetes or equivalent, observability stacks (Datadog, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), CI/CD
  • Product mindset toward internal users - you treat product engineers as customers and measure success by how much faster and safer they ship
  • Solid command of AI coding tools and comfortable adopting team workflows
  • Good mentorship instincts - you bring product engineers along on platform decisions rather than imposing them
  • Strong communicator who can explain tradeoffs to non-platform audiences
  • Low-ego, curious, humble
Nice to Have
  • Experience operating HIPAA / HITRUST / SOC 2 environments
  • Prior experience building an internal developer platform or shared services team
  • Data platform experience (warehouse, streaming, analytics engineering)
Interview Process
  • Recruiter Screen (30 min)
  • Hiring Manager Screen (45 min)
  • Live Technical Assessment (3 sessions: 150 min)
  • On-Site Interview and Lunch (4 sessions: 150 min)
