Platform Operations Engineer
About The Position
Turquoise Health is building its Platform Engineering function from the ground up and this is your chance to shape it. As our first Platform Operations Engineer, you'll help lay the foundation for how we build, deploy, and operate infrastructure that supports real-world healthcare outcomes. This is a high-ownership role on a new team. You'll help establish the practices, tooling, and standards that the rest of engineering will rely on, from observability and reliability to deployment workflows and scalability. If you're energized by greenfield problems, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and motivated to automate and simplify before being asked, we'd love to build something great together.
Requirements
- 3+ years in SRE, DevOps, or Cloud Infrastructure
- Confident working with core AWS services (VPC, IAM, EKS, RDS) and a strong understanding of cloud networking and security best practices.
- Expert in using Infrastructure as code with Terraform, CloudFormation, or Crossplane
- Proficient with GitHub and GitHub Actions as a core component of your CI/CD and automation pipelines- not just for source control
- Experienced with running Kubernetes clusters in production and managing application deployments through GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Flux) and Helm Charts,
- Proficient with observability tooling such as Datadog, Sentry, CloudWatch, Grafana to include building alerts, dashboards, and log pipelines.
- Experience writing solid Python scripts to glue systems together, automate infrastructure tasks, or handle custom workflows.
- Comfortable working independently in a remote setup, asking questions when needed, and keeping momentum without being micromanaged.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
