About The Role

Thatch is rewiring how health benefits work. We build software that gives employees real control over how they use their benefits. We're looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to own the reliability, security, and performance of the platform that powers Thatch.

Reliability and security are foundational.

What you will do

• Make architectural decisions and improve how we build and operate.
• Design and evolve infrastructure using Terraform.
• Improve CI/CD, deployments, and developer workflows so teams ship faster.
• Strengthen security across access controls, vulnerability management, and dependencies.
• Identify and eliminate reliability risks before they impact customers.

What we are looking for

• Experience operating production infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or SRE systems.
• A track record of owning critical systems end-to-end.
• Strong experience with PostgreSQL or comparable relational databases in production.
• Experience managing infrastructure as code using Terraform.
• Sound judgment across reliability, performance, and security tradeoffs.
• A bias toward automation and improving developer productivity.

We are looking for

• Experience operating in HIPAA or SOC 2 environments.
• Deep PostgreSQL performance tuning or replication management.
• Building internal tooling that improves developer productivity.
• Improving observability, incident response, or overall security posture.

What to expect

• We aim to move quickly, and most candidates complete the process within 2–3 weeks.
• The interview process typically includes:
• An initial conversation with a recruiter.
• A collaborative pair programming session.
• A systems or infrastructure design discussion.
• A conversation with members of the engineering team.
