Opportunity & Impact

Redox is on a mission to accelerate healthcare’s transformation with useful data. The Redox Engine, a flexible interoperability platform, connects and powers real-time healthcare data exchange. With just one connection, data can be orchestrated across a growing network of 12,000+ systems and organizations, including 100+ electronic health record systems (EHRs). Redox processes over 1.2 billion messages per month across our health tech vendor, provider, payer, EHR, and life sciences customers.

We’re a fully remote team within the U.S. that operates with radical transparency and a strong bias toward ownership.

Impact on Team

The Platform Team at Redox Engineering builds the foundations that let application developers ship reliably: the automation, guardrails, and infrastructure that power how healthcare data moves securely through our systems.

The platform is entering a new chapter. We’re building toward a platform where AI agents take part in engineering, operations, and everyday work, alongside the people who build on it. Getting there means keeping security, stability, and scale as the baseline while traffic grows and agents gain autonomy, making costs knowable to the people who make decisions, and steadily simplifying the platform so the right thing is the easy thing.

We’re looking for a Staff Platform Engineer who is a highly capable, hands-on contributor. You’ll pick up an ambiguous lane of work, scope it, prototype and experiment, and then carry it all the way to production-ready code. You’ll bring deep cloud and Kubernetes experience and sound judgment, and you’ll work with the team to shape and align on where the platform goes next.

Software Platform/Tools: AWS, Docker, EKS; GitHub Actions (CI), ArgoCD (CD), Atlantis; Kyverno, Karpenter, KEDA, VPA, Velero, Crossplane; Prometheus, Grafana, InfluxDB, Sumo Logic, Mimir, OpenTelemetry; Terraform, Helm; Postgres, Redis; Kafka; Node.js/TypeScript and Python services.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Own an ambiguous lane of platform work end to end: scope it, prototype and experiment, then turn what works into production-ready code

  • Build the foundations that let AI agents safely take part in engineering and operations: where they run, how they’re permissioned, and how their actions are observed and audited

  • Keep security, stability, and scale as the baseline as traffic grows and agents gain autonomy, partnering with InfoSec to harden the platform and reduce single points of failure

  • Simplify the platform over time: consolidate tools, vendors, and patterns so humans and agents can do the right thing because it’s the easy thing

  • Automate recurring upkeep wherever practical, so necessary maintenance takes less human effort

  • Help make platform and AI costs understandable to the people making commercial, operational, and technical decisions

  • Co-create the platform’s direction with the team and our platform architect: bring informed opinions, calibrate with others, and align your work to where we’re headed

  • Contribute hands-on across the platform, including infrastructure, CI/CD, container orchestration, and observability. This is an IC role.

  • Participate in on-call and own the systems you build, including production incidents

  • Share knowledge with a highly senior team of peers through pairing, design reviews, and documentation

What you’ll bring:

  • 8+ years in cloud-native infrastructure or platform engineering roles, with demonstrable progression in technical scope and impact

  • Deep, hands-on AWS experience running production systems, including networking, IAM, and managed services

  • Production Kubernetes expertise, including cluster lifecycle, upgrades, node management, and autoscaling. You’ve operated it, not just deployed it.

  • Strong infrastructure-as-code practice (Terraform/HCL, Helm) and experience with GitOps-style delivery

  • A track record of automating operational work, with the testing and rollback safety that makes speed possible

  • A security-minded approach to access, secrets, and configuration, ideally in a regulated environment

  • High output on ambiguous problems: you’ve taken loosely defined work from prototype to production, and you know when an experiment is ready to harden

  • Sound judgment and strong written communication: you write clear proposals with tradeoffs, calibrate with peers, and commit once a direction is set

Nice to have in your background:

  • Experience in a fully remote, growth-stage, or regulated-industry company (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2)

  • Building or operating AI agents in production, or applying AI to infrastructure and operations work

  • Observability depth: OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, or managed observability platforms

  • Networking depth: site-to-site VPNs, IPsec, or high-throughput messaging systems

  • Developer enablement work: you’ve thought about the internal developer experience, not just the ops side

  • Cost visibility or FinOps experience in cloud environments

Compensation

Compensation: The base salary range for this position is expected to be between $185,000 – $210,000 per year.

*The base salary range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. The actual offer may vary depending on multiple factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to the level of job-related knowledge, skills, qualifications, education/certification, and interview assessment.

Core skills

Skills and capabilities most closely associated with this opportunity.

Sample interview questions
How have you taken an ambiguous platform problem from initial concept to reliable production implementation?

I begin by clarifying the desired business and operational outcomes, documenting assumptions and risks, and building a small prototype to validate the highest-risk decisions. After gathering feedback and defining success metrics, I productionize the solution with automated testing, security controls, observability, rollback procedures, and clear ownership documentation.

Describe your experience operating Kubernetes clusters in production on AWS.

I have managed production Kubernetes environments across cluster lifecycle activities such as upgrades, node provisioning, autoscaling, workload reliability, IAM integration, networking, and incident response. I use infrastructure as code and GitOps workflows to make cluster changes repeatable, reviewable, and reversible.

How would you enable AI agents to perform infrastructure or operational work safely?

I would use least-privilege, short-lived identities, narrowly scoped tools, explicit policy controls, and isolated execution environments. Every action should be logged, observable, auditable, and protected by approval or escalation paths for high-impact changes, with tested rollback mechanisms and clear human ownership.

What approach do you use to improve platform reliability while reducing operational toil?

I prioritize recurring manual work and reliability risks using incident data, support burden, and service-level objectives. I then automate predictable tasks with guardrails, tests, alerts, and runbooks, while simplifying tooling and standardizing paved paths so engineers can make safe choices by default.

How do you communicate technical trade-offs to senior engineers and non-technical stakeholders?

I write concise proposals that state the problem, options, constraints, risk profile, cost implications, and recommendation. I tailor the level of detail to the audience, invite early feedback, and clearly document the final decision, its rationale, and the metrics used to evaluate it.
