Senior Platform Engineer

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and scale cloud infrastructure including networking, IAM, Kubernetes, databases, streaming and pubsub platforms, storage, distribution, and more.
• Design and implement build pipelines, branching strategies, and release management tooling that will serve an engineering team that is doubling in size and massively growing the volume of code that is being shipped and that must be tested.
• Design, implement, and scale cloud security practices including CI and deployment scans, least privileged access controls, auditing, and maintaining SoC2 and HIPAA compliance.
• Help advocate for, design, implement, and adopt fast and scalable application testing pipelines including end to end UI tests as well as hyperscale load tests.
• Uplevel our ability to respond to incidents by improving observability, runbooks, and incident response muscle across the organization.
• Bridge the gap between local development and production environments in a way that is seamless for engineers and maximizes engineering velocity and security while minimizing quality issues arising from environment drift and configuration tangles.
• Evangelize, document, and train the engineering team on the solutions being built and uplevel them on cloud native design strategies and tools.
• Be a public evangelist for Abridge in the global platform engineering community, including conferences, open source, and research as we pioneer new AI-first cloud-native-first security-first implementations at scale.

Who You Are

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years of infrastructure-as-code experience in a cloud-first organization.
• Experience building on Kubernetes and scaling compute services on Kubernetes; experience with related cloud native technologies including ArgoCD, Argo Rollouts, Istio, etc.
• Familiar with the care+feeding of Kubernetes clusters, including version upgrades, service mesh management, and maintaining helm charts for application deployments.
• Experience creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for both Infrastructure as code deployments as well as application code deployments. (Terragrunt, Atlas, ArgoCD, Octopus Deploy, Travis CI, etc.)
• Experience with monitoring and observability tooling and practices (metrics, logs, traces) and their management at scale. Experience with major obs platforms eg Grafana, Datadog, Honeycomb.
• Comfortable implementing and securing services in Google Cloud Platform as Infrastructure as code, including GCP Projects, VPC Networks, Google Kubernetes Engine, and IAM Roles, Groups and policies.
• Experience with backend languages (e.g. Python, GoLang, Node, Rust).
• Up-to-date on industry best-practices and tools, and enjoy learning new things.
• Excited about being hands-on in a fast-moving, productive, and supportive environment.
• Willing to pitch in wherever needed - as a fast-moving startup we need to do good work, quickly.

This role has a rotational on-call schedule. You will have the opportunity to shape incident response practices for the team and throughout the organization. Must be willing to travel up to 10%. Abridge typically hosts a three-day builder team retreat every 3-6 months.
