Platform Infrastructure Engineer IV or V, DOE

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-concepts 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.
