Senior Platform Engineer

Responsibilities

• This is a hands-on senior IC role reporting directly to the VP of Engineering. You'll set this function's roadmap in collaboration with engineering leadership.
• Manage and scale infrastructure that runs audits on clinical notes across millions of criteria daily
• Define and support infrastructure patterns that can improve latency (e.g. making audits real time), reliability, and cost effectiveness
• Improve developer productivity through CI/CD and local / testing environments
• Simplify observability and drive key reliability metrics across all of our services, including AI pipelines that process billions of tokens daily

Manage our infrastructure and developer tooling spend

• Steward our security posture (e.g. SOC 2, HIPAA compliance)
• Consolidate SSO, identity, device management, and access controls across internal tools
• You have owned the infrastructure / platform function somewhere
• You have informed opinions about infrastructure and collaborate with product engineers to find right-sized solutions
• You'd rather ship something narrow in two weeks than complete in two months

Requirements

• You know how to write production-level code. Our applications are written in Python and Typescript
• You have driven towards a target number for a cloud bill

Preferred

• Healthcare or another regulated industry that includes sensitive-data handling
• Experience with LLM infrastructure: inference cost management, gateways (e.g. Bifrost), tracing and evals (e.g. Langfuse)
• Rolled out an identity provider like Okta
• Mentored engineers or led a small team

The Role

We're hiring a founding platform engineer. Brellium audits clinical notes against millions of criteria a day, with AI pipelines processing billions of tokens. You'll be the first person whose full-time job is scaling towards a highly available production environment by making our infrastructure reliable and observable, defining the patterns others build on, and making every engineer more effective in their work.

What You'll Do

You Might Be a Fit If

• You understand product engineering work to a high degree
• You measure your work by whether other engineers actually use it
• You are used to the blurred lines at a startup and are biased towards taking ownership
• You are experienced working in an environment with a high degree of autonomy

Required Skills

5+ years where platform was your primary work

Built production infrastructure at an early-stage startup

• Depth in AWS and infrastructure-as-code. Our tech stack includes AWS, Vercel, Azure Foundry, Claude Platform, OpenAI Platform, Gemini, and Clickhouse
• You have managed audits for software compliance (e.g. SOC 2)

Bias to Action

Brellium teammates do not wait to make reversible decisions or seek unnecessary approval. We quickly decide and move forward. If the decision was incorrect, we quickly reverse it and move forward.

Thinks for themselves

Brellium teammates do not take things at face value. We ask "why" until base truth is reached. If a better solution is present, Brellium teammates use it, regardless of status quo.

Negative Maintenance

The opposite of high maintenance isn’t low maintenance - it’s negative maintenance. Brellium teammates are poised under pressure, self-motivated, self-improving, self-disciplined, self-aware, and non-defensive.

Expect Excellence: We hold ourselves to exceptionally high and continuously rising standards. We strive for thoughtfulness in our decision making, and for speed and quality in our execution. We acknowledge trade-offs and communicate proactively.

Communicate with Clarity: Brellium teammates communicate concisely, directly, and purposefully. We optimize for ensuring our points are easily understood the first time.

We are aware of fraudulent job offers claiming to be from Brellium. All legitimate communication comes from brellium.com, or [email protected], and we will never ask for money or sensitive personal information as part of our hiring process.
