About ECP

ECP is a market-leading SaaS solution that enables senior living communities to better care for their residents. ECP is used in over 8,000 communities.

We'relooking to further expand by increasing the number of customers that use our software and increasing the scope of how we serve our customers by developing and releasing new products.

Senior living is deeply under-penetrated withsoftwareand ECP is one of the largest and fastest-growing software companies in the industry. We recently raised a growth round of equity to reinvest in our product, technology, and go-to-market. Our mission is to build world-class software that improves the quality of life for seniors and improves clinical, business, compliance, and operational performance for our customers.

Foundation Engineering is a newplatformcapability  owns the path from code to production: the CI/CD pipeline, theenvironmentscode runs in, the test automation framework, and the observability tooling that shows how code behaves onceit'slive.

Almost none ofit isbuilt yet. CI/CD is split across Bitbucket Pipelines and Jenkins. Environments are shared and fragile. QA writes the automated tests on delivery teams' behalf. We have Sentry and Cloud Watch, which is error tracking and infrastructure metrics, not observability.

You'llfix all of it withoutbreakinga product that thousands of communities run their operations on. Our newer product surfaces move first; our clinical surfaces sit on the oldest platform and carry the highest cost of failure, so they move last, once the safety net exists.

The work is hands-on. Most of your time goestowriting infrastructure code and building tooling.

You'llhave an open req for one engineer to hire alongside you and two SDETs partnered with you on the test framework, reporting to the VP of Platform Engineering. This is a player-coach role:you'llbuild the team as the function grows, managing 2 to 4 people over time while staying close enough to the code to set the technical bar yourself.

The stack.

Newcode is Node and Type Script.

We'remigrating off a Cold Fusion legacy platform, and the two will coexist for a while. SQL Server and PostgreSQL, a mix of monolith and services, adopting domain-driven design andan event-driven architecture, all on AWS. Your pipeline and tooling have toserve the old stack and the new one at the same time. Youwon'tbe writing Cold Fusion.

The delivery pipeline.

Consolidate CI/CD onto a single system every delivery team builds and deploys through. Cut build and deploy times. Own the AWS and Cloud Formation infrastructure underneath it. Make dependency scanning,secrets detection, and static analysis default steps on every build. Give teams feature flags so deploy and release come apart.

The developer platform.

This starts on the engineer's machine: environment setup, build speed, the tools they use before code ever reaches the pipeline. Replace shared environments with ephemeral ones, andsolve multi-tenant test data seeding sothey'reusable.

Our event bus is partially adopted, which makes contract testing part of this: services have to be testable in isolation without standing up the whole topology.

Establish golden paths: opinionated, documented ways to build, test, and deploy a service. Drive toward self-service, and over time an internal developer portal. Run the platform as a product, with a visible roadmap, a feedback channel teams actually use, and reliability standards for the platform itself.

The test automation framework.

Turn a framework QA builds on delivery teams' behalf into one delivery engineersusedirectly. Two SDETs work with you on it. Building it is the straightforward part. Landing it with delivery leads whose teams are measured on shipping is the job.

Production ownership.

Delivery engineers carry the pager for their own code today, but most incident response still lands on the infrastructure team, because engineer scan'tsee or reach what they shipped. This is a HIPAA environment, so broad production accessisn'ton the table. Engineers need full visibility into how their systems behave without access to the data inside them. Build the logging, tracing, metrics, and alerting stack that delivers that, and give teams audited break-glass paths for the cases that need more.

The agentic development loop.

Our engineers already use AI-assisted development, andit'smade everything downstream of them slower. Code generation is cheap. Verification is not. That gap is whatwe'rehiring you to close.

You'llown what makes coding agents effective in our codebase: deterministic local builds, fast test feedback, repo context, sandboxed execution, review gates for agent-authored code, and internal platform capabilities exposed to agents through MCP.

• You’ve led a developer experience or platform engineering function before, and can point to what measurably changed because of it.

• Deep AWS and infrastructure-as-code experience, and enough command of CI/CD to redesign a system rather than run one…
