Principal Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure
About the role
We're building the cloud infrastructure and delivery platform that one of healthcare's most ambitious technology transformations runs on, and we need a Principal Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure to own the infrastructure behind it all. You'll both set the technical direction and do the work hands-on, while leading a small team of infrastructure engineers.
Responsibilities
- Own the cloud infrastructure end-to-end across our cloud environments, staying hands-on with IaC, CI/CD, and observability alongside the team
- Own the SDLC surface area (dev environments, lower envs, release mechanics, monitoring and response) so engineers can ship in minutes rather than days
- Build the substrate that lets AI agents observe, reason, and act on business systems with safe defaults, and the rails that let AI-assisted apps from people outside of tech be deployed and supported without becoming operational liabilities
- Participate in security operations alongside our SecOps team on CSPM, threat management, and patch management as the infrastructure-side owner of remediations
- Frame infrastructure decisions in terms of business outcomes (operational efficiency, financial impact, clinical results), and make progress and tradeoffs visible to leadership as a natural byproduct of how you work
- Lead and develop a small, high-impact team, and operate as a peer to our SecOps, Data, IT Systems, and App Engineering leaders as a unifying technical force across the org
Requirements
- An engineering background with deep, hands-on experience operating production infrastructure across at least two major clouds (GCP, AWS, Azure)
- Experience with modern infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar)
- Built and operated modern CI/CD systems, dev environments, and observability stacks
- Experience building and operating infrastructure across different company sizes and business contexts
- A strong, well-reasoned point of view on platform philosophy, and the ability to defend when to standardize, when to give teams room, and how to make the safe path the easy path
- Experience shipping AI-native operational systems, such as AI agents that triage alerts, draft RCAs, manage cost, or execute runbooks, or frameworks that let non-traditional contributors ship safely
- Action-oriented on governance and security participation, documenting what matters, automating what you can, and not letting process become a bottleneck
- Experience building and developing teams, thinking about composition intentionally, hiring for gaps, and investing in people's growth
- Strong communication skills: clear, direct, and concise with both technical and non-technical audiences
Qualifications
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- Minimum 8 years of relevant experience
- Passionate about using technology to improve healthcare outcomes
- Experience in a regulated domain (healthcare, financial services) is helpful but not required
Skills
- Cloud infrastructure management (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)
- CI/CD pipelines and continuous delivery
- Observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack)
- Security operations (CSPM, threat management, patch management)
- AI and machine learning concepts
- Team leadership and development
Benefits
- Financial Well-Being: Competitive base salary and equity opportunities, performance-based bonus program, 401k matching, regular compensation reviews
- Physical Well-Being: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Mental Well-Being: No-Meeting Fridays, monthly company holidays, access to mental health resources, generous flexible time-off policy
