Role
Who you are
- Have 5+ years of practical experience as a fullstack or platform engineer building platform and infrastructure systems. You understand how applications work from the data layer to user experiences
- Have worked in a startup or fast-moving environment, and have ideally built products from 0 to 1
- Take a product-focused approach to platform work, you care about building solutions that are robust, scalable, and easy for other engineers to use. You understand why you're building something, not just how
- Are comfortable diving into any part of the system, whether it's infrastructure, services, or product frontends, to deliver effective solutions
- Build & iterate fast, especially with AI. You're hands-on with AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) and actively thinking about how to structure codebases and workflows for AI-assisted development
- You have opinions on how AI agents should interact with production systems—authentication, sandboxing, observability—and you're excited to build that foundation
What the job involves
- We're looking for engineers who combine strong infrastructure skills with product intuition—people who understand that great platform work isn't just about uptime and scale, but about accelerating the teams who ship features to patients, partners, and researchers
- AI is transforming how we build and operate, and Platform is at the center of that shift
- You'll ensure our infrastructure is ready for agentic workflows, help engineering teams adopt AI-assisted development practices, and build the foundations that make it all work safely at scale
- You'll own critical systems end-to-end: from Kubernetes clusters and CI/CD pipelines to the sandbox environments that let our sales team demo new capabilities
- If you're energized by making other engineers more productive while keeping a sharp eye on how your work ultimately impacts users, this role is for you
- Our infrastructure runs on GCP (GKE, AlloyDB, BigQuery, Pub/Sub), Terraform, and Datadog—but we care more about your ability to learn and ship than checking every box
Our take
Picnic Health was created after its co-founder Noga Leviner struggled to keep healthcare professionals in the loop regarding her health. She created the company to fix a broken system, making it easier for patients to access and manage their own medical health records and coordinate their own care.
As well as helping users take control of their data to better their own care journeys, it also allows them to consent to sharing their de-identified medical history to contribute to external research into their conditions. The company supports research in over a dozen diseases, extending its impact beyond only those who use the platform directly.
With tens of thousands of patients using the system, it is clear that Picnic Health is delivering a valuable tool. In 2023, it collaborated with pharma giant Roche to help advance research into Alzheimer's Disease and related conditions. Since then, it has raised a significant amount of capital thats supporting further innovation of the platform.
