Platform Engineer

Overview Verantos ( )is the market leader in high-accuracy real-world evidence (RWE) generation. The Verantos RWE platform integrates heterogeneous real-world data sources and generates evidence with the accuracy necessary for regulatory and reimbursement use. The platform leverages data science and artificial intelligence, along with advanced data sources such as electronic health records (EHR), to generate RWE capable of supporting complex clinical studies. Some of the largest biopharma companies in the world are Verantos customers. We use a heterogeneous AWS-centric tech stack with data processing, AI, workflows, and analytics. Our teams are cross-functional and collaborative, bringing together engineering, product, design, QA, and clinical domain experts to deliver meaningful, real-world impact. Description We are building the Verantos Evidence Platform on AWS with Snowflake, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and a mix of containerized services. We need a Senior Platform Engineer who can take ownership of the platform's infrastructure, CI/CD, and developer experience. You'll be part of the Verantos Evidence Platform team and collaborate with DevOps teammates across the company. This is a small, lean team where infrastructure decisions have an outsized impact on everyone's productivity. The role is as much organizational as it is technical: communicating changes before they land, getting buy-in, and building systems the whole team can operate independently. This is a fully remote, US-based role. Responsibilities Simplify and maintain the CI/CD pipelines for a multi-project monorepo, ensuring they are predictable, fast, and operable by the broader engineering team without specialized knowledge. Plan and execute infrastructure changes incrementally, with clear rollout steps, validation strategies, and rollback plans that are communicated to the team before work begins. Build and maintain operational documentation, runbooks, monitoring, and alerting that enable other engineers to independently troubleshoot and respond to production issues. Collaborate with DevOps teammates across the organization to align on shared infrastructure standards including network design, permissions models, and deployment patterns. Contribute directly to application code in Python and Typescript when platform concerns cross into the application layer, such as database performance, service configuration, or integration points. Partner with QA to ensure infrastructure changes are properly tested and that the team has confidence in what's being shipped to each environment. Actively use and champion AI tools to accelerate infrastructure and developer experience work. Qualifications 5+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE, with meaningful time spent in environments where reliability and compliance matter. Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Terraform, and container orchestration (ECS, EKS, or similar), including comfort with networking fundamentals like load balancing, TLS termination, and proxy configuration. Solid Python skills and willingness to work across the stack when platform concerns extend into application code. Has built and maintained CI/CD pipelines that other engineers actually trust, and has executed infrastructure changes incrementally rather than through high-risk big-bang rollouts. Experience working in a small team where you had to balance speed, simplicity, and doing things right, rather than defaulting to enterprise-scale tooling. Actively uses AI tools in daily work to accelerate delivery while maintaining high standards for security and code quality. Communicates clearly and works effectively across engineering, QA, and compliance stakeholders. Nice to Have Experience with healthcare data infrastructure or compliance frameworks such as HIPAA or HITRUST. Familiarity with Snowflake administration and performance tuning in a platform that serves both transactional and analytical workloads. Experience collaborating effectively across time zones and cultures in a fully remote environment. Why Verantos? At Verantos, we are pioneering technologies that power advanced real-world evidence (RWE). Advanced RWE helps understand how patient characteristics and behaviors affect health outcomes – helping to predict the progression of a disease, a patient’s responses to a therapy, or the risk of adverse events.
