Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of software engineering experience in infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineering roles
- Experience building internal developer platforms with a strong product mindset (treating developers as customers)
- Experience with public cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure) and managed cloud services
- Experience with on-prem or hybrid environments and data center / cloud migrations
- Experience with cloud-native technologies
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi)
- Experience with plus controller-based infrastructure management (Crossplane, Kubernetes operators)
- Experience with service mesh technologies and software-defined networking (SDN)
- Experience with modern release workflows using GitOps and progressive delivery (Argo CD, Flux, Kargo)
- Experience with observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
- Experience in regulated industries (healthcare, finance) with HIPAA and SOC 2 obligations
What the job involves
- We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer on the Infrastructure team to own the foundational infrastructure and internal developer platform that every other engineering team at Commure builds on. This is a horizontal team supporting multi-product infrastructure that you will design, build, and operate end-to-end:
- Cloud infrastructure and IaC
- Kubernetes fleet and workload orchestration
- Internal developer platform
- Release and deployment (GitOps)
- Service mesh, traffic management, and networking
- Observability: metrics, logs, and traces
- Zero-trust access and on-prem connectivity
- The stack today runs on public cloud (GCP, AWS, and Azure), with all infrastructure defined as code (Terraform and controller-based). Argo CD drives deployment; Helm handles application packaging; Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry power observability. Service mesh is an active build-out, and the shape of it is yours to define
- This is a hands-on IC role with broad scope. You'll make architectural calls, write the code that matters most, and set the patterns other teams build on
- You'll own several of these verticals within the team's scope end-to-end
- Build out the internal developer platform: golden-path templates, self-serve tooling, local development environments, and CI/CD pipelines
- Own the cloud foundation: GCP, AWS, and/or Azure infrastructure managed as code with Terraform and controller-based provisioning via Kubernetes operators and Crossplane
- Run the Kubernetes fleet: cluster lifecycle, upgrades, autoscaling, node management, and multi-cluster patterns. Shape how services are packaged and deployed with Helm
- Design the traffic and network layer: service mesh, ingress, mTLS, and traffic management (routing, rate limiting, canary, circuit-breaking, RPC)
- Own the release and deployment story with Argo CD. GitOps workflows, progressive delivery (canary, blue-green), rollback safety, and environment promotion patterns
- Own the observability stack: OpenTelemetry based instrumentation, metrics (Prometheus), dashboards (Grafana), distributed tracing, logging, unified alerting, templated dashboard, etc
- Build out zero-trust access to internal and external systems: VPN, BeyondCorp, short-lived credentials, and on-prem connectivity
- Partner with Security on secrets management, policy-as-code, and secure-by-default patterns that meet HIPAA and SOC 2 by default
Our take
Today, healthcare providers are tackling the growing challenge of too much paperwork and too little time for patients. Many existing electronic health record (EHR) systems only add to the problem - digital, yes, but often too clunky, time-consuming, and disconnected from the tools doctors actually need. Athelas is tackling this by reimagining how healthcare software works, helping providers spend less time lcicking and more time caring for people.
Athelas offers a full suite of tools that combine AI-powered automation, remote patient monitoring (RPM), and integrated EHR and billing systems. And its newest platform, Athelas AIR, is a next-generation EHR designed to unify clinical and administrative workflows in one intelligent system. By embedding revenue cycle management (RCM) and ambient AI documentation directly into the platform, Athelas AIR streamlines everything from charting to billing. And the goal is simple, to reduce administrative burden, improve margins, and ultimately, give healthcare teams a smoother, smarter way to work.
The company has made significant strides in recent years. After reaching unicorn status in 2022 and merging with Commure in 2023, Athelas is now valued at around $6B and continues to expand its platform. Alongside growing adoption of Athelas AIR, the company has recently secured FDA clearance for its Athelas Home device - an AI-powered diagnostic tool that delivers lab-grade blood test results from a fingerstick in minutes. This allows care teams to test, diagnose, and make decisions in a single visit. With a growing customer base and a broader push into AI-driven diagnostics as well as software, Athelas is ready to be a leader in end-to-end, intelligent healthcare infrastructure.
