- Strong understanding of infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, and related tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Bitrise)

- Expertise in system reliability engineering, security audits, and vulnerability management
- Proficiency with cloud platforms (Hetzner Cloud, AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Experience with Python, especially Django, and familiarity with NodeJS/Typescript and React/React Native is highly advantageous
- Excellent communication, teamwork skills, and a proactive, strategic mindset

- We are looking for a Platform Engineer (m/f/x) with a strong focus on security and reliability to help build and operate the infrastructure behind our trusted digital health products
- You will design and maintain scalable, secure systems and CI/CD pipelines, while collaborating closely within cross-functional teams to embed DevSecOps best practices
- This role involves driving platform compliance with DIGA and other regulatory frameworks, leading efforts in monitoring, incident response, and vulnerability management
- You design, build, and maintain secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure platforms and CI/CD pipelines
- You collaborate closely with our engineering team (using Django, React Native, and React) to embed security and reliability best practices throughout the development lifecycle
- You conduct regular system reliability assessments, security audits, and penetration testing
- You manage monitoring systems, incident response, and vulnerability management processes
- You ensure adherence to regulatory standards and certifications required under DIGA
- You provide technical leadership and guidance on infrastructure, security, and DevOps principles
Our take
Cara Care, a subsidiary of HiDoc Technologies, provides a companion app for those living with gut health issues such as IBS, IBD, GERD (heartburn / reflux), and indigestion. Research out of the University of Gothenburg estimates that around 40% of adults worldwide are dealing with gastrointestinal issues, highlighting the scale of the problem that Cara Care is attempting to alleviate.
The German startup’s app is growing in popularity and is well-funded, but it isn’t the only one tapping into the increasingly widespread awareness of gut health issues. ZOE and DayTwo have entered into the field with tens of millions in funding, while bootstrapped company Bowelle is also proving popular.
However, Cara Care’s blend of food and symptom diary with remote telehealth care from certified nutritionists could help set it apart. Crucially, many of its nutritionists are covered by existing insurance policies, while the company is also making a big play for employers, who would provide access to a huge network of users.
