Senior Platform Engineer
About The Position
Verantos is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to join their Verantos Evidence Platform team. This role will focus on the platform's infrastructure, CI/CD, and developer experience within a heterogeneous AWS-centric tech stack. The engineer will collaborate with DevOps teammates across the company, contributing to a small, lean team where infrastructure decisions significantly impact productivity. The role requires strong technical skills combined with organizational abilities, including communicating changes, gaining buy-in, and building systems that the team can operate independently. This is a fully remote, US-based position.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE, with meaningful time spent in environments where reliability and compliance matter.
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Terraform, and container orchestration (ECS, EKS, or similar), including comfort with networking fundamentals like load balancing, TLS termination, and proxy configuration.
- Solid Python skills and willingness to work across the stack when platform concerns extend into application code.
- Has built and maintained CI/CD pipelines that other engineers actually trust, and has executed infrastructure changes incrementally rather than through high-risk big-bang rollouts.
- Experience working in a small team where you had to balance speed, simplicity, and doing things right, rather than defaulting to enterprise-scale tooling.
- Actively uses AI tools in daily work to accelerate delivery while maintaining high standards for security and code quality.
- Communicates clearly and works effectively across engineering, QA, and compliance stakeholders.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with healthcare data infrastructure or compliance frameworks such as HIPAA or HITRUST.
- Familiarity with Snowflake administration and performance tuning in a platform that serves both transactional and analytical workloads.
- Experience collaborating effectively across time zones and cultures in a fully remote environment.
Responsibilities
- Simplify and maintain the CI/CD pipelines for a multi-project monorepo, ensuring they are predictable, fast, and operable by the broader engineering team without specialized knowledge.
- Plan and execute infrastructure changes incrementally, with clear rollout steps, validation strategies, and rollback plans that are communicated to the team before work begins.
- Build and maintain operational documentation, runbooks, monitoring, and alerting that enable other engineers to independently troubleshoot and respond to production issues.
- Collaborate with DevOps teammates across the organization to align on shared infrastructure standards including network design, permissions models, and deployment patterns.
- Contribute directly to application code in Python and Typescript when platform concerns cross into the application layer, such as database performance, service configuration, or integration points.
- Partner with QA to ensure infrastructure changes are properly tested and that the team has confidence in what's being shipped to each environment.
- Actively use and champion AI tools to accelerate infrastructure and developer experience work.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision benefits.
- 401K plan with employer match.
- Work-life balance.
