Senior Platform Engineer

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
