Senior Software Engineer (Platform)

About the roleOrganizations switch to ExaCare because their admission processes are broken. They rely on multiple outdated platforms and error-prone manual work to admit residents. This fragmentation wastes time and leads to suboptimal care and business outcomes. We’re looking for a high-ownership Senior Platform Engineer to build and scale the infrastructure, backend systems, and internal platform capabilities that power ExaCare’s products and engineering velocity.
What you'll do
Build and scale core platform infrastructure.
Design and maintain reliable backend services, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and internal platform systems that support rapid product development and scalable operations.
Own production systems end-to-end.
Develop and operate highly available distributed systems using TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS, and modern infrastructure tooling. Ensure systems are secure, observable, fault-tolerant, and performant.
Improve developer velocity.
Create internal tooling, deployment automation, developer workflows, feature flag systems, and platform abstractions that help the engineering team ship faster and more confidently.
Lead reliability and operational excellence.
Establish best practices around monitoring, incident response, infrastructure-as-code, testing, deployment safety, and system resiliency. Participate in production incident triage and continuous reliability improvements.
Architect scalable backend systems.
Design APIs, background processing systems, event-driven workflows, queues, and integrations that support complex healthcare operations at scale.
Drive platform innovation.
Evaluate and implement modern infrastructure patterns, AI-powered developer workflows, and scalable cloud-native technologies that improve engineering productivity and product capabilities
Collaborate cross-functionally.
Work closely with product, engineering, and operations teams to translate business needs into robust technical systems and platform capabilities.

Experience building and operating scalable distributed systems in production environments
Strong proficiency with TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and REST APIs
Hands-on experience with serverless technologies such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions.
Deep experience with AWS cloud infrastructure and modern DevOps tooling
Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, observability, and system reliability practices
Experience designing secure, resilient, and maintainable backend architectures
Ability to rapidly learn new technologies and independently execute ambiguous, high-impact projects
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly across teams
Bonus: experience working with LLM infrastructure, AI tooling, or event-driven architectures
Competitive salary and equity in a high-growth startup
Flexible PTO, take what you need
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
Great startup culture, including company off-sites
High-achieving team, including ex-Amazon engineers and alumni of Bain, BCG, Goldman Sachs, and more
Only the Best Belong HereWe are unapologetic about talent. This should be the best team you have ever been on. Protecting that standard is how we honor each other's time, ambition, and craft.
We work even harder to keep our partners than we did to earn them initiallyThe work does not stop when a customer first onboards to our platform. It deepens over time. We partner with operators, listening and learning about real problems, and translate that into solutions that help them succeed in practice. We earn trust through consistent delivery.
