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 DoDesign, 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 patternsOperate and evolve container platforms across ECS and EC2, including cluster architecture, autoscaling, networking, and cost optimizationDrive 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 transitionBuild internal tooling and automation in a general-purpose language (Python, Go, or TypeScript) — this role writes real software, not just configurationOwn and advance our observability practice in Datadog: SLOs, dashboards, alerting strategy, distributed tracing, and driving down noise so on-call is humaneLead incident response and post-incident reviews; turn findings into durable platform improvementsMentor engineers, review designs and code, and set technical direction for platform standards across teamsChampion security, compliance, and reliability best practices appropriate to a healthcare environment



Requirements

What You'll Bring10+ 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 architectureDeep, 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 ecosystemProficiency in at least one of Python, Go, or TypeScript, including testing and CI practicesDirect experience decomposing monoliths or migrating platforms to microservices, and the scars to prove it — service boundaries, data migration, traffic cutover, rollback strategyStrong 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 HaveExperience in regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2)GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD platform experience at org scaleExperience with release management, deployment gates, and progressive delivery (canary, blue/green)
