The Staff Software Engineer – Cloud Infrastructure Engineer is responsible for all stages of the software development lifecycle using a variety of technologies and tools to build impactful software solutions. The scope of this job includes building and optimizing comprehensive solutions that prioritize end-user efficiency and experience.
About the Team:
We own the cloud foundation that the rest of engineering builds on. We run and manage multi-cloud environments across GCP, AWS, and Azure, and we operate the platform services development teams depend on every day — ArgoCD, Spacelift, GitHub, and the Kubernetes infrastructure underneath them.
We're a small, high-leverage team that wears a lot of hats: systems management, helping product teams ship and operate their Kubernetes workloads, jumping in alongside dev teams during outages, and building custom tooling so we (and everyone we support) can move faster. If you like owning hard infrastructure problems end-to-end and being the team others rely on when it matters most, you'll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the design and architecture of major systems and services, and ensure software solutions are scalable, reliable, maintainable, and aligned with business needs.
- Collaborate with solution managers, engineers, data scientists, and other stakeholders to define and prioritize technical requirements that meet client needs and business objectives.
- Collaborate with teams to ensure sustained quality and reliability of our software solutions, and act as a go-to expert by identifying and resolving complex, high-priority issues in both development and production environments.
- Actively contribute to code reviews, provide constructive feedback on design and implementation, and provide technical guidance to other engineers to elevate skills, productivity, and overall effectiveness.
- Ensure code meets functional and performance requirements, advocate for high-quality software, and ensure rigorous testing processes, including automated unit tests, integration tests, and other testing frameworks.
- Leverage AI tools and platforms as an integral part of daily responsibilities to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, and drive data-informed outcomes.
- Operate multi-cloud environments across GCP, AWS, and Azure — provisioning, hardening, cost management, and day-to-day systems management.
- Manage the platform services dev teams rely on — ArgoCD, Spacelift, GitHub, and related CI/CD and GitOps tooling — keeping them reliable, secure, and easy to use.
- Partner with development teams on Kubernetes — help them design, deploy, and operate clusters and workloads, and level up their ability to run their own services.
- Build custom tooling — automate the toil, fill the gaps off-the-shelf tools leave, and create the internal tools that keep the team and our customers efficient.
- Set technical direction — define standards and architecture for how we run cloud infrastructure, and raise the bar for reliability, security, and operability across teams.
- Mentor and multiply — share knowledge, review designs, and grow the capabilities of both your teammates and the dev teams you support.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent work experience
- 8-12 years related work experience
Preferred Qualifications:
- Healthcare industry experience
Job Expectations:
- Willing to work additional or irregular hours as needed
- Must work in accordance with applicable security policies and procedures to safeguard company and client information
- Must be able to sit and view a computer screen for extended periods of time
