Platform & Data Engineer

Meridio is a remote-first company focused on simplifying health benefits for small businesses. In this role, you will own and evolve the platform and data infrastructure, ensuring reliability and supporting product and design teams in their customer-facing work.

Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve our data infrastructure, including pipelines into our data warehouse
• Manage and improve cloud infrastructure and DevOps workflows
• Ensure platform reliability so product and design teams aren’t pulled into backend or operational firefighting
• Support internal applications that rely on trusted, accessible data
• Partner closely with Product on roadmap planning, scoping, and technical tradeoffs
• Identify and resolve platform bottlenecks before they slow the team down
• Share progress, risks, and improvements early and clearly

Requirements:

• 5–8+ years building and maintaining production systems
• Strong experience with backend systems and data infrastructure
• Comfort with cloud platforms (GCP preferred; AWS or Azure welcome)
• Working knowledge of Python, SQL, and infrastructure tooling
• Experience supporting high-growth or early-stage products
• Interest in building toward security and compliance best practices
• Comfortable working in a scrappy environment where priorities evolve and judgment matters
• Think in systems, not just features
• Prefer simple, resilient solutions over over-engineering
• Comfortable owning ambiguous technical problems
• Know when to build and when to buy
• Explain technical decisions in plain language
• Thrive in fast-paced, distributed teams
• Care about making other teams more effective
• DevOps or SRE experience
• Healthcare, fintech, or regulated industry background
• Enjoyment of being a platform owner rather than a feature specialist
