This engineer will participate in on-call, assess live-environment changes, and act as a technical partner to product and data engineering teams. The position favors startup experience, strong Linux and cloud fundamentals, and practical expertise in areas such as Kubernetes, SRE, DevOps, data infrastructure, distributed systems, or regulated-cloud security. It is a U.S.-based, high-ownership role in a fast-moving Series C healthcare startup. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 5/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 5/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 5/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 5/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThe role requires broad, senior-level infrastructure depth across cloud architecture, networking, observability, incident response, automation, and multiple possible platform specializations.

How did you find the root cause?I would start by establishing impact, scope, and a timeline using metrics, logs, traces, and recent deployment history. I would form and test hypotheses across application, infrastructure, network, and dependency layers, mitigate customer impact first, then document the root cause and implement preventive monitoring or automation. How would you design a self-healing approach for a frequently failing workload on Kubernetes? I would first identify whether failures stem from application behavior, resource constraints, configuration, dependencies, or the cluster itself. I would use appropriate readiness and liveness probes, resource requests and limits, autoscaling, controlled retries, alerting, and safe rollback mechanisms, while ensuring automation does not amplify a bad deployment or data issue. What practices would you use to help engineers deploy daily without increasing production risk? I would provide a paved path built on infrastructure as code, CI/CD quality gates, automated tests, policy checks, progressive delivery, observability standards, and reversible deployment strategies. Clear ownership, actionable dashboards, and lightweight change-risk assessment make frequent deployments safer and faster. How do VPC design, routing, DNS, load balancers, and NAT gateways interact when debugging an application connectivity issue? I would trace the request path from the client through DNS resolution, load-balancer listeners and target health, subnet route tables, security controls, and NAT or internet egress where relevant. I would validate each layer with logs, flow data, DNS queries, health checks, and targeted connectivity tests to isolate where traffic is failing. How would you balance reliability, cost, and delivery speed in a fast-growing healthcare startup? I would prioritize controls according to customer impact, regulatory exposure, and operational risk rather than overengineering every component. I would establish measurable service objectives, automate repeatable work, invest in high-leverage platform capabilities, and regularly review utilization and architecture choices with engineering stakeholders. Opportunity details ## About this role. ### About Solace Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes. We’re a Series C startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, Signalfire, and IVP. Our U.S. based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly. Solace isn’t a place to coast. We’re here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you’re looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you’re in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.

About the Role Good plumbing is quiet and invisible, and so is good infrastructure. As a Senior Platform Engineer at Solace, you will join our platform engineering team and help build the infrastructure powering the future of health care. You enable product and data engineers to move aggressively and deploy daily, build safeguards to autonomously recover from failures, and fix things when they can’t. You are a generalist who can work both independently and as part of a team, spanning high-level architecture and low-level foundations. You are curious and always learning. You look deeper than the surface at how systems work, how they fail, and how they can self-heal. You take pride in your craft, have impeccable communication skills, and you absorb feedback exceptionally well. You aren’t afraid to make mistakes and learn more from them. Above all, you enjoy taking ownership and are stifled by large organizations. What You’ll Do * Help build out our cloud infrastructure and application platform * Assess risk and impact for changes to our live environment * Join our on-call rotation * Troubleshoot problems emerging from complex interactions of technology, governance, and people * Design and build autonomous self-healing processes in our systems * Be a resource for product and data engineers in your areas of expertise.

We are looking for the following core skills and experiences: * Experience working in a start-up environment * Experience building scalable infrastructure for hosting web applications or data workloads * Deep troubleshooting. You relentlessly dig through architectural and abstraction layers to identify root causes, sometimes under time pressure. You have done this solo and in a team. You have generated and tested hypotheses. You have generated and implemented solutions. * Fluent on the command line and comfortable working with Linux * Strong communication skills * Cloud infrastructure. Experience working with GCP, AWS, or Azure. GCP experience preferred. Bonus for experience working with cloud landing zones. Familiar with GitOps technologies, such as Terraform. * Networking. Understanding VPCs, subnets, routes, peering, DNS, load balancers, L4/L7 routing, NAT gateways, CDNs, TLS, and how they all work together. * Observability. Integrated and worked with tools such as Datadog and OpenTelemetry for infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring, and database performance. Comfortable helping instrument application code, building dashboards, and working with application engineers. And One or More of the Following Focus Areas: * Site reliability. You have improved performance, reliability, and cost across the entire stack, from front-end to back-end. * Kubernetes. Understand how to best use its self-healing and extensibility to run workloads scalably, resiliently, and securely, and fix it when it breaks. * Polyglot. Comfortable with different languages and learning new ones. Proficient at reading code, understanding what it does, and its operational characteristics during runtime. * Devops. Built, optimized, and maintained continuous integration and continuous delivery systems. * Developer Product Experience. You built tools and low-friction experiences for product and data engineers, designing and delivering them with a product mindset. * Data Infrastructure. You moved databases. Built warehouses, connectors, and replicators. Implemented access controls, optimized and fixed pipelines. * Distributed Systems. You built both coordination-bound and coordination-free systems and know the tradeoffs in terms of scalability, reliability, and resilience. You have worked with systems spanning multi-regions. You got your hands dirty fixing systems that collapsed. * Security. Worked in a highly-regulated industry such as healthcare with cloud infrastructure Applicants must be based in the United States.
