Job Summary 

PatientPoint's Platform team builds and runs the cloud platform our engineers use to ship patient- and provider-facing products safely and quickly. As a Staff Platform Engineer, you’ll own technical problems that cross systems and teams, turning ambiguous goals like safer deployments or fewer pages into multi-quarter plans and leading them to done. You’ll stay hands-on, writing the hardest changes and the key design documents, and make the engineers around you better. 

What You’ll Do 

  • Lead multi-quarter programs that span several systems, such as how cloud accounts, CI/CD, identity and artifact management fit together and trust each other. 
  • Set technical direction for a large part of the platform through design documents and decision records, and build agreement across Engineering and Security. 
  • Define reliability for the services the platform supports: service levels, alerting, and on-call design that routes problems to people who can fix them. 
  • Sequence risky changes across interconnected systems so that fixing one doesn’t break another, including how reliability fixes from our SRE team reach production safely. 
  • Identify what the team should work on next, and make the case with cost and risk. 
  • Grow Senior engineers through design review and mentorship, and stay hands-on on the most critical changes. 

What We Need 

  • 5+ years of professional experience in any of: software engineering, cloud or infrastructure engineering, systems or network administration, site reliability, DevOps, or platform engineering. 
  • Deep, hands-on experience designing and operating production cloud infrastructure, containers and CI/CD (AWS, Kubernetes or similar), with infrastructure as code. 
  • Experience leading a technical initiative that spanned multiple systems or teams, from proposal to completion. 
  • Experience designing for reliability and security, such as access models, deployment safety, observability and incident response. 

Desired Qualifications 

  • Experience designing Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GitOps) and multi-account AWS organizations, IAM and cross-account networking; Azure is a plus. 
  • Experience securing CI/CD: federated identity, short-lived credentials, secrets management and software supply-chain controls. 
  • Experience setting service level objectives and alerting strategy with New Relic, PagerDuty or similar tools. 
  • Experience with build-versus-buy and vendor evaluations, including AI-assisted tooling for operational work, in a regulated environment such as healthcare (HIPAA, SOC 2). 
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 

What You’ll Need to Succeed

  • Influence across teams and with leadership, without formal authority.
  • Comfort with ambiguity: you turn it into a plan with milestones, and put numbers on the tradeoffs.
  • Clear technical writing: design documents and proposals that technical and non-technical readers can act on
