Software Engineer, Platform & Infrastructure

Responsibilities

• Own our compute platform, including container orchestration, networking, autoscaling, service topology, and ingress, and define the architecture and patterns that keep it reliable and simple as we scale.
• Own our data layer, driving performance, scaling, and reliability across our databases (Postgres, OpenSearch, BigQuery), and lead the platform decisions that keep our datastores fast and cost-effective as load grows.
• Own cloud spend by building attribution and driving optimization across compute, data, and storage, so spend grows more slowly than the business does.
• Define and own platform reliability, including SLOs, capacity planning, infrastructure observability, and incident response for the systems every product team depends on.
• Build the infrastructure-as-code, service patterns, and self-serve primitives that let product teams provision and operate services safely without waiting on you.

Requirements

• A track record of operating production Kubernetes at scale, including networking, autoscaling, and cluster reliability.
• Deep AWS expertise (EKS, VPC, IAM boundaries) and strong infrastructure-as-code with Terraform. You build platforms and reusable primitives rather than one-off resources.
• Run a real, low-downtime database migration and operated a relational store like Postgres under production load, with the ability to reason from a query plan to a capacity plan.
• Strong instincts for reducing complexity. You are drawn to consolidating and simplifying systems rather than adding surface area.
• Comfort operating in a regulated, high-stakes environment. Familiarity with PHI, HIPAA, or SOC 2 is a strong plus, as is a track record of mastering a high-stakes domain quickly.
• A track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals.
• High NPS with your former teammates.

Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with PHI, HIPAA, or SOC 2.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive compensation with meaningful equity.
• Fully covered medical, vision, and dental insurance.
• Memberships for One Medical, Talkspace, Teladoc, and Kindbody.
• Unlimited paid time off (PTO) and 16 weeks of parental leave.
• 401K plan setup, FSA option, commuter benefits, and DashPass.
• Lunch at the office every day and Dinner at the office after 7 pm.
• Salary ranges based on paying competitively for company size and industry; individual pay decisions based on qualifications, experience, skillset, geography, and internal equity.
