Job Description

Join HeartFlow as a Senior Platform Engineer specializing in Compute Migration. In this high-impact role, you will lead the strategic effort to migrate existing AWS Lambda and ECS-based workloads to our next-generation Kubernetes platform. You will define the technical roadmap, develop robust solutions, partner with engineering teams, benchmark migrated services, and establish best practices for running event-based compute on Kubernetes. Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, 401k with employer match, paid time off, and more.

  • Definir la hoja de ruta técnica, los patrones de migración y las arquitecturas de referencia para mover funciones de Lambda y servicios de ECS a clústeres de Kubernetes.
  • Desarrollar soluciones robustas, escalables y automatizadas para ejecutar flujos de trabajo impulsados por eventos en Kubernetes, utilizando tecnologías como KEDA.
  • Colaborar estrechamente con los equipos de ingeniería para comprender sus requisitos de carga de trabajo únicos y proporcionar consultoría sobre las mejores prácticas de re-plataforma.
  • Are you a seasoned platform engineer passionate about cloud-native technologies and large-scale migrations? Do you thrive on solving complex compute challenges by leveraging the power of Kubernetes?
  • This role requires deep expertise in both current (Lambda, ECS) and target (Kubernetes) compute architectures, as well as a strong focus on automation and developer experience
  • Proficiency with containerization technologies (Docker) and modern CI/CD practices
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and technical leadership skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions across multiple teams
  • 8+ years of experience in Platform, Infrastructure, or DevOps Engineering roles, with significant time spent on large-scale compute migrations
  • Expert-level proficiency in Kubernetes (design, deployment, operations, networking, security, and scaling)
  • Deep, hands-on experience with AWS compute services, particularly AWS Lambda and ECS/Fargate, and a clear understanding of their operational models and scaling behaviors
  • Proven experience migrating production workloads from traditional cloud compute (VMs, Lambdas, ECS) to Kubernetes
  • Strong background in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), specifically Terraform
  • Experience with KEDA or similar event-driven scaling solutions on Kubernetes
  • Experience working in and/or migrating to monorepo
  • Prior experience in driving complex, multi-quarter technical initiatives
  • Experience with Python or Go for tooling development and automation
