Senior Platform Engineer

Platform Engineer Opportunity at Abridge

Abridge's services and engineering teams are in hyperscale mode. We are looking for experienced Platform Engineers to join our team and help scale all of our cloud infrastructure and developer experience in kind. You'll work on a centralized Platform team whose work spans platform building, adoption, and ongoing support of existing tooling and software. This role is approximately 80% infrastructure focused and 20% application software focused.

You will help us take our infrastructure stack multi-tenant and multi-cloud, drive implementation and adoption of cloud security practices, build and manage modular Terraform, and help build and integrate new cloud infrastructure into our stack in production to scale. You'll also be implementing things like service templates and other developer tools including canary releases and featuring flagging, load testing, CI and CD pipelines, and more.

The platform we are building needs to maximize both engineering velocity and security, will be under tremendous scale, and presents many opportunities to leverage creativity, autonomy, and leadership to take things 0 to 1. This is a unique opportunity in the industry to rapidly grow your career in a rapidly growing company leveraging the best of emerging technologies.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and scale cloud infrastructure including networking, IAM, Kubernetes, databases, streaming and pubsub platforms, storage, distribution, and more.
• Design and implement build pipelines, branching strategies, and release management tooling that will serve an engineering team that is doubling in size and massively growing the volume of code that is being shipped and that must be tested.
• Design, implement, and scale cloud security practices including CI and deployment scans, least privileged access controls, auditing, and maintaining SoC2 and HIPAA compliance.
• Help advocate for, design, implement, and adopt fast and scalable application testing pipelines including end to end UI tests as well as hyperscale load tests.
• Uplevel our ability to respond to incidents by improving observability, runbooks, and incident response muscle across the organization.
• Bridge the gap between local development and production environments in a way that is seamless for engineers and maximizes engineering velocity and security while minimizing quality issues arising from environment drift and configuration tangles.
• Evangelize, document, and train the engineering team on the solutions being built and uplevel them on cloud native design strategies and tools.
• Be a public evangelist for Abridge in the global platform engineering community, including conferences, open source, and research as we pioneer new AI-first cloud-native-first security-first implementations at scale.

Who You Are

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years of infrastructure-as-code experience in a cloud-first organization.
• Experience building on Kubernetes and scaling compute services on Kubernetes; experience with related cloud native technologies including ArgoCD, Argo Rollouts, Istio, etc.
• Familiar with the care+feeding of Kubernetes clusters, including version upgrades, service mesh management, and maintaining helm charts for application deployments.
• Experience creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for both Infrastructure as code deployments as well as application code deployments. (Terragrunt, Atlas, ArgoCD, Octopus Deploy, Travis CI, etc.)
• Experience with monitoring and observability tooling and practices (metrics, logs, traces) and their management at scale. Experience with major obs platforms eg Grafana, Datadog, Honeycomb.
• Comfortable implementing and securing services in Google Cloud Platform as Infrastructure as code, including GCP Projects, VPC Networks, Google Kubernetes Engine, and IAM Roles, Groups and policies
• Experience with backend languages (e.g. Python, GoLang, Node, Rust)
• Up-to-date on industry best-practices and tools, and enjoy learning new things
• Excited about being hands-on in a fast-moving, productive, and supportive environment
• Willing to pitch in wherever needed - as a fast-moving startup we need to do good work, quickly

We value people who want to learn new things, and we know that great team members might not perfectly match a job description. If you're interested in the role but aren't sure whether or not you're a good fit, we'd still like to hear from you.

This role has a rotational on-call schedule. You will have the opportunity to shape incident response practices for the team and throughout the organization.

Must be willing to travel up to 10%

Abridge typically hosts a three-day builder team retreat every 3-6 months. These retreats often feature internal hackathons, collaborative project sessions, and social events that allow the team to connect in person.
