Senior Platform Operations Engineer

This is a fully remote role within the United States.

Turquoise Health is building its Platform Engineering function from the ground up and this is your chance to shape it. As our first Senior Platform Operations Engineer, you'll lay the foundation for how we build, deploy, and operate infrastructure that supports real-world healthcare outcomes.

This is a high-ownership role on a new team. You'll establish the practices, tooling, and standards that the rest of engineering will rely on, from observability and reliability to deployment workflows and scalability. If you're energized by greenfield problems, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and motivated to automate and simplify before being asked, we'd love to build something great together.
