Movemedical is a leading software solution provider for medical device companies, and they are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to own the infrastructure, tooling, and delivery systems for their engineering organization. This role involves designing cloud-native platforms, optimizing delivery pipelines, and ensuring system observability and scalability.
Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain internal platforms and developer tooling that accelerate delivery and reduce operational toil across the engineering organization
- Codify infrastructure using declarative, version-controlled approaches that emphasize consistency, repeatability, and auditability
- Build self-service capabilities that allow product teams to provision infrastructure, deploy services, and manage configurations without bottlenecks or tribal knowledge
- Own the architecture of production cloud environments with a focus on understanding how services interact and where complexity, cost, and risk accumulate
- Make deliberate trade-off decisions between hosting paradigms — serverless, containerized, VM-based — grounded in workload characteristics, operational cost, and team capability
- Design networking, access control, and security boundaries that balance developer velocity with least-privilege principles
- Design and maintain delivery pipelines that are fast, safe, and understandable — not just functional but documented and easy for other engineers to extend
- Implement deployment strategies that minimize risk during releases and make rollback a confident, well-practiced operation
- Instrument systems with logging, telemetry, and metrics to provide meaningful visibility into platform health — focusing on actionable signals over noise
- Conduct thorough root cause analysis on production incidents and translate findings into corrective fixes, improved processes, and shared learning
- Build and maintain alerting strategies and runbooks that enable fast, effective incident response and reduce mean time to resolution
- Write clearly and often — maintain architectural decision records, runbooks, post-mortems, and onboarding documentation that reduce knowledge silos
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product engineering, security, and leadership to align platform investments with business objectives
- Mentor and support engineers across the organization by sharing context, reviewing designs, and helping teams make informed infrastructure decisions
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional experience in platform engineering, DevOps, site reliability engineering, or infrastructure-focused software engineering roles
- Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure on at least one major provider (AWS preferred), including how core compute, networking, storage, and identity services interact
- Hands-on experience codifying infrastructure using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, Pulumi, or equivalent
- Proven experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation at scale
- Proficiency in at least one systems or scripting language (Python, Go, Bash, TypeScript, or similar)
- Solid grasp of Linux fundamentals, networking concepts, DNS, load balancing, and TLS/SSL
- Experience with containerized workloads and orchestration in production environments
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you default to writing things down and actively contribute to a culture of documentation and knowledge sharing
- Proficiency with LLM-based developer tooling (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude) — you view AI-assisted development as a practical multiplier and actively incorporate it into your workflow
- Experience building and maintaining observability stacks including dashboards, alerting, and on-call workflows
- Production experience with relational databases including replication, failover, query performance, and connection pooling
- Familiarity with event-driven and message-based architectures
- Experience with cloud security practices including secrets management, network segmentation, and compliance frameworks
- Exposure to cost optimization strategies and FinOps thinking
- Experience building internal developer platforms or approaching platform work with a product mindset
- Relevant cloud or infrastructure certifications are a plus but not required
