Staff Platform Engineer, Grow Therapy

• Because this is a pivotal, cross-functional role, we’re looking for a candidate with exceptional technical leadership and strong communication skills
• The ideal candidate has deep experience in Kubernetes operations and development
• 10+ years of professional experience: You have a track record of leading large-scale technical initiatives and delivering on outcomes
• Kubernetes operations: You have deep experience operating clusters (e.g., EKS), automating their lifecycles, and maintaining production SLOs for cluster services
• Self-service platforms: You have designed Kubernetes-based abstractions that have empowered development teams to manage their own services and infrastructure
• Cloud infrastructure: You have experience automating cloud infrastructure on providers such as AWS using tools such as Terraform or Crossplane
• Technical Breadth: You have experience with multiple backend languages (preferably Python, Go, and/or Typescript), solid foundations in networking concepts, and feel at home in a Linux terminal environment
• Impact-oriented: You prioritize outcomes over output and think deeply about the business and user value behind your work. As a staff-level engineer, you understand how to drive impact through influence and leadership as much as through writing code
• Self-starting: While you’re happy to take direction, you are intrinsically motivated and thrive when given the opportunity to lead initiatives
• Adaptable: Your strong opinions are loosely held; you’re open to new ideas and avenues of exploration; you are able to roll with the flow when business opportunities arise and priorities shift
• Team player: You collaborate well, communicate with empathy, and enjoy mentoring and learning from others
• If you’re excited about this role but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply. At Grow, we value diverse experiences, transferable skills, and the unique strengths each person brings
