Job Summary:

The Platform Engineering team is a close-knit group of five highly senior, deeply experienced engineers focused on solving some of the hardest self-service challenges in our developer platform space — from CI/CD and Kubernetes to AI-powered tooling and internal developer portals. We build platforms that make deploying and operating applications faster, more secure, and highly repeatable, removing friction at scale so teams across the organization can move quickly with confidence. This is a rare opportunity to work alongside exceptional engineers on meaningful, high-impact problems where your ideas and expertise truly matter. The team operates in Hybrid, focusing office time for meaningful collaboration.

Platform Engineering exists to empower product engineering teams to build, deploy, and operate healthcare software faster, more reliably, and more securely. We tackle complex cross-functional domains to deliver end-to-end self-service platforms, golden paths, and developer tools that reduce cognitive load so development teams can focus on delivering value to clinicians and patients. We may not own every part of the stack, but we are the glue that pieces it together meaningfully — and we own the reliability of what we build through SRE practices.
