About the Role We'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 Requirements What 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
