Senior Platform Engineer – AI

We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to build the platform that helps Datavant teams run AI agents safely and reliably.

• Build foundational pieces of the AI Platform alongside the Staff Engineer, the VP, and the rest of the team.
• Ship the platform components that teams will rely on, from MCP servers and agent runtime patterns to identity and policy enforcement, eval gates, and observability instrumentation, depending on where the team needs you.
• Pair with the first vertical teams onboarding agents through the platform.
• Mentor a mid-level engineer; raise the technical bar through code review and pair programming.
• Carry the pager. Operate what you build.

• Six or more years building production backend systems, with at least two at senior IC level.
• Deep experience designing and operating cloud-native, Kubernetes-based services in production. AWS experience is a plus.
• Hands‑on fluency with at least one mainstream LLM application stack (Lang Graph, Bedrock Agent Core, Langfuse, or equivalent).
• Strong written communication. Design documents and decision records are reviewed before implementation begins on this team.
• Personal experience using AI tools in your own engineering work (Claude Code, Cursor, custom MCP servers, agentic side projects, or similar) is valued. We want teammates who use the tools they build platforms for.
• Healthcare data experience (PHI, HIPAA, BAA workflows) or other regulated‑platform background (FedRAMP, HITRUST / HITRUST AI, NIST AI RMF, SOC 2 Type
  2) is a strong plus.

The estimated total cash compensation range for this role is: $180,000—$220,000 USD.
