Platform Infrastructure Engineer IV

About the role

Join our Cause to create a person-focused and economically sustainable health care system. Serve as a player/coach who balances hands-on delivery with team development—building proof-of-concept and production-grade platform solutions while coaching engineers on best practices and modern infrastructure patterns.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of secure, scalable cloud foundations and shared services (networking, identity, compute, storage, and runtime enablement) that accelerate product delivery.
• Establish and evolve enterprise best practices, golden paths, and reference architectures for Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, environment provisioning, and policy-as-code.
• Influence platform strategy and roadmap: partner with engineering and business leaders to shape priorities, estimate and plan work, and deliver measurable improvements in uptime, performance, and cost efficiency.
• Drive modernization of platform operations through observability standards, resilient design, and automation that reduces toil and improves incident response outcomes.
• Lead through action in requirements analysis, systems design, secure configuration, code quality, test automation, and documentation for platform components and tooling.
• Champion operational efficiencies and cost optimization (FinOps practices where applicable), including right-sizing, capacity planning, and vendor/technology evaluations.
• Engage vendors and internal partners as needed (security reviews, support engagements, roadmap input) to ensure platform technologies meet reliability, security, and compliance needs.
• Continuously review industry trends and emerging technologies; responsibly incorporate improvements (including AI-accelerated workflows where appropriate) to modernize how we build and operate the platform.

Requirements

The expected hiring range is $136,000 - $184,000 depending on skills, experience, education, and training; relevant licensure/certifications; and performance history. Bonus target (if applicable): 15%.

Skills and Attributes

• Deep expertise designing and operating cloud platforms at scale (AWS and/or Azure), with strong reliability, security, and availability fundamentals.
• Modern infrastructure engineering skills: Infrastructure as Code and configuration management (preferred: Terraform and/or Ansible) with disciplined change control and automation.
• Strong delivery practices: Git-based workflows (preferred: GitHub or GitLab), comfort with frequent incremental changes, testing, and repeatable deployments.
• Proven experience building and evolving CI/CD and platform enablement tooling (preferred: CircleCI).
• Operational excellence: observability strategy (metrics/logs/traces), incident leadership, root-cause analysis, and driving systemic fixes that reduce toil.
• Security-by-design mindset: secure baselines, identity and access patterns, secrets management, and alignment with compliance requirements.
• Modernization catalyst: defines platform standards, publishes reference architectures, and champions adoption across teams to improve developer experience and production outcomes.
• Influence and communication: consults with engineering and business partners, translates needs into pragmatic platform roadmaps, and drives alignment across teams.
• Player/coach leadership: mentors engineers, raises the bar on engineering practices, and leads through action on complex, highly visible initiatives.
• Cost and efficiency orientation: experience driving operational efficiencies and cost optimization (FinOps awareness), including vendor engagement where applicable.
• Responsible automation mindset: evaluates and applies emerging capabilities (including AI-accelerated workflows where appropriate) to improve delivery speed, reliability, and quality.
