Senior Platform Engineer

About the role

Organizations switch to Exa Care because their admission processes are broken. They rely on multiple outdated platforms and error‑prone manual work to admit residents. This fragmentation wastes time and leads to suboptimal care and business outcomes. We’re looking for a high‑ownership Senior Software Engineer (Platform) to build and scale the infrastructure, backend systems, and internal platform capabilities that power Exa Care’s products and engineering velocity.

• Build and scale core platform infrastructure. Design and maintain reliable backend services, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and internal platform systems that support rapid product development and scalable operations.
• Own production systems end‑to‑end. Develop and operate highly available distributed systems using Type Script, Postgre
  
  SQL, AWS, and modern infrastructure tooling. Ensure systems are secure, observable, fault‑tolerant, and performant.
• Improve developer velocity. Create internal tooling, deployment automation, developer workflows, feature flag systems, and platform abstractions that help the engineering team ship faster and more confidently.
• Lead reliability and operational excellence. Establish best practices around monitoring, incident response, infrastructure‑as‑code, testing, deployment safety, and system resiliency. Participate in production incident triage and continuous reliability improvements.
• Architect scalable backend systems. Design APIs, background processing systems, event‑driven workflows, queues, and integrations that support complex healthcare operations at scale.
• Drive platform innovation. Evaluate and implement modern infrastructure patterns, AI‑powered developer workflows, and scalable cloud‑native technologies that improve engineering productivity and product capabilities.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally. Work closely with product, engineering, and operations teams to translate business needs into robust technical systems and platform capabilities.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on backend systems, infrastructure, platform engineering, or Dev Ops.
• Experience building and operating scalable distributed systems in production environments.
• Strong proficiency with Type Script, Postgre
  
  SQL, and REST APIs.
• Hands‑on experience with serverless technologies such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions.
• Deep experience with AWS cloud infrastructure and modern Dev Ops tooling.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure‑as‑code, observability, and system reliability practices.
• Experience designing secure, resilient, and maintainable backend architectures.
• Ability to rapidly learn new technologies and independently execute ambiguous, high‑impact projects.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly across teams.
• Bonus: experience working with LLM infrastructure, AI tooling, or event‑driven architectures.

• Competitive salary and equity in a high‑growth startup.
• Flexible PTO, take what you need.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Great startup culture, including company off‑sites.
