Senior Platform Engineer

Location: Nashville, TN

Department: Platform Engineering

Why we're hiring

We're looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to lead the integration and ongoing security monitoring of our platform as we implement applications and AI technologies into additional client environments.

This role involves technical development and operations of our cloud infrastructure, deep involvement in Kubernetes orchestration, and ensuring the seamless integration and reliability of our products. As an early Platform hire, you’ll be pivotal in driving technical innovation and operational excellence across the organization as we scale.

In this role, you'll help lead:

• Cloud operations: Develop, manage and scale our cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), ensuring optimal performance, security, and cost efficiency.
• CI/CD and IaC: Contribute to our code-first approach to continuous integration/continuous delivery, enhancing deployment strategies and automation.
• Containerization and orchestration: Lead Kubernetes cluster management, implementing best practices in container orchestration, scaling, and network security.
• Continuous improvement: Collaborate with development teams to integrate the latest updates into our platform, ensuring scalability and agility.
• Security: Implement and maintain strong security controls, including access controls, encryption, and vulnerability management.
• System performance monitoring: Set up and manage logging, monitoring, and alerting systems.
• Compliance: Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to ensure compliance with security standards and healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001).
• Disaster recovery and backup: Develop comprehensive disaster recovery and incident response plans, ensuring robust data backup and security protocols.
• Client communication: Engage with Eng leaders to drive technological innovation and operational efficiency across their complex organizations.
• Platform team growth: Define team roles, assist in hiring, and collaborate with Platform engineers, cloud specialists, and Eng staff as our workload expands.

What you'll need to be successful:

We value demonstrable knowledge and the ability to deliver real-world solutions above formal education. Candidates are expected to have experience and/or an interest in learning:

• Cloud, containerization, and orchestration technologies: Experience with Google Cloud services, particularly Kubernetes/GKE.
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC): management of applications and infrastructure dependencies using IAC and gitops workflows. 
• Identity, network, and security control management: Strong understanding of networking concepts and security controls, particularly for a microservices architecture and its deployment in a cloud-native environment. 
• Technical operations management: Advanced knowledge of security monitoring, logging, automation, and configuration management tools (e.g., PagerDuty) to deliver SLAs.
• Healthcare domain expertise: Knowledge or eager willingness to learn about the healthcare industry and landscape, including the economics of healthcare, how hospitals and healthcare providers operate on a daily basis, and healthcare data standards and regulations (e.g., HIPAA, HL7, FHIR).
