What started as a DME ePrescribing tool has become the order management platform of choice for home medical equipment. Join our team and make a difference in patient care. About the Team The team supports the core platform services that power our application, including the Ruby monolith and queueing systems, and sets the site reliability engineering standards across the organization. They also enhance workflows and automation across the software development lifecycle (SDLC), building agentic tooling to streamline these processes. What you'll do Build agentic workflows that enhance the SDLC for engineers across the platform. Evaluate and recommend improvements based on accuracy, latency, and cost. Strengthen our platform, developer tooling and SDLC: Build and operate internal developer tooling - CLIs, CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, and policy-as-code — that speed up and safeguard how ~40 repos ship code. Drive fleet-wide changes: dependency and framework upgrades, security/vulnerability remediation, and standards rollouts across many services safely. Improve production observability: work with product teams to ensure they are equipped to effectively monitor the performance and reliability. Help steer architectural and technical direction to ensure our applications follow cohesive and consolidated standards that ensure a high-level of quality and reliability Actively partner with other product teams to understand use cases and identify how to best enable and support them. Advise on best practices across platform use cases, service observability, maintenance and operation. Contribute across the stack where the platform needs it - the Ruby monolith and TypeScript/React, as an enabler of product teams Who you are A builder with a strong bias for action.

A strong cross-functional collaborator: you build relationships beyond your own team, listen to understand others' needs, and translate them into solutions that enable and support them.
