Job Description
Join Headway, a mental healthcare startup, as a Senior Software Engineer in Infrastructure. You will be responsible for owning the cloud platform, driving deployment architecture, capacity and scaling, and building a self-serve infrastructure platform. You should have deep AWS expertise, strong infrastructure-as-code experience, and a track record of making deploys safe and self-serve for other teams.
- Conduire le travail pour isoler le rayon d'explosion, rendre l'autoscaling fiable et construire une plateforme d'infrastructure en libre-service.
- Posséder la capacité pour une charge de travail variable : les planchers sont calculés à l'avance plutôt que poursuivis par une mise à l'échelle réactive.
- Construire la plateforme Terraform en libre-service avec des garde-fous afin que les équipes d'ingénierie possèdent leurs changements d'infrastructure standard.
- You thrive in ambiguity, operate with a high degree of ownership, and are as comfortable setting technical direction as you are building
- You make other engineers better through architecture reviews, runbooks, and paved-road tooling that raises the baseline for everyone who ships on the platform
- A senior engineer who combines deep cloud and infrastructure expertise with the instincts to drive alignment across teams
- Deep AWS expertise and production ownership of compute and networking at scale (ECS, EKS, RDS, networking, IAM)
- Strong infrastructure-as-code experience, particularly Terraform, including designing self-serve platforms for other engineering teams
- Track record making deploys safe and self-serve for other teams, not just your own
- 5 or more years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles at companies running significant production traffic
- Hands-on autoscaling and capacity engineering, and container orchestration with ECS and/or EKS
- Kubernetes and EKS depth
- FinOps and cloud cost optimization experience
- Experience in healthcare or other regulated environments
- Observability tooling at scale (Datadog)
