About The Position

As a Platform Engineer at Thyme Care, you will join a team focused on building the infrastructure, developer tooling, and workflows that help drive high-quality interventions for our members with cancer. You’ll partner closely with other engineering teams to improve the internal platform, reduce operational friction, and support feature development. This role is well suited for a senior engineer who enjoys owning ambiguous platform problems from discovery through delivery. Lead medium-to-large platform initiatives end-to-end, from early discovery and technical design through rollout and adoption. Own and evolve our AWS platform (including EKS, RDS, networking) using Terraform and other infrastructure-as-code tools. Build and maintain internal Python libraries and Kubernetes tooling that abstract away infrastructure complexity, letting other engineers self-serve deployments with minimal platform help. Improve our CI/CD pipelines by building and maintaining reusable workflows, optimizing performance, and enhancing our deployment and rollback capabilities. Partner with engineers across the organization to improve developer experience through better tooling, clearer workflows, and team enablement. Participate in our on-call rotation, improving our observability, triaging incidents, and handling support requests from our engineering and data teams.

Requirements

Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
Experience with CI/CD (Github Actions)

Used Python in a professional context
Participated in an on-call rotation, and comfortable using an observability stack to monitor production and troubleshoot issues
Built and supported internal developer platforms as a product, with attention to usability and adoption
Experience in healthcare, health tech, or another regulated environment

Comfortable iterating quickly and wearing multiple hats when needed
