The Opportunity
Our internal Platform team’s mission is to unlock the full potential of our product engineering organization by providing an internal developer platform that increases autonomy and amplifies productivity—eliminating friction while ensuring security, compliance, and resiliency at scale.
We’re hiring a Senior Engineer to join our dynamic and talented platform team to help build the internal developer ecosystem powering Grow’s next-generation mental healthcare platform. You’ll join a mission-driven team where engineering decisions have broad organizational impact and directly support Grow’s goal of making affordable mental health care more accessible across the U.S.
As a Platform engineer, you’ll tackle complex challenges spanning AWS cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes (EKS) operations, CI/CD pipelines, and the tooling, automations, and workflows that drive Grow’s engineering velocity.
As a Senior-level engineer, you’ll lead projects within large-scale initiatives that cross organizational boundaries. You’ll share ownership of key areas of our platform roadmap and collaborate closely with your teammates to deliver capabilities that improve development speed, reliability, and scalability.
Why This Role Is Exciting
As a Senior Engineer on our Platform team, you’ll have a unique opportunity to help shape how our entire organization builds and ships software—driving faster, safer, and more reliable delivery at scale. You’ll join a talented, highly collaborative team of engineers whose work expands access to high-quality mental healthcare for millions of Americans.
What you'll do:
You’ll help us deliver a next-generation, Kubernetes-based internal developer platform that:
- Forms a Strong Foundation: Resilient and scalable platform architecture; Automated cluster and infrastructure management.
- Provides New Capabilities: Progressive delivery (Canary, Blue/Green); Multi-stage deployment pipelines; Ephemeral dev/test environments; Declarative application infrastructure management.
- Reduces Friction: Self-service application lifecycle workflows; Golden-path Application infrastructure abstractions.
Who You Are
- 6+ years of professional experience: You have a track record of delivering successful outcomes on business critical infrastructure / platform projects.
- Cloud infrastructure: You have deep experience automating cloud infrastructure on providers such as AWS using tools such as Terraform or Crossplane.
- Kubernetes: You have experience operating clusters (e.g., EKS), automating their lifecycles, and maintaining production SLOs for cluster services.
- Technical Breadth: You have experience with multiple backend languages (preferably Python, Go, and/or Typescript), solid foundations in networking concepts, and feel at home in a Linux terminal environment.
- Impact-oriented: You prioritize outcomes over output and think deeply about the business and user value behind your work.
- Self-starting: While you’re happy to take direction, you are intrinsically motivated and thrive when given a set of requirements and the autonomy to meet them.
- Adaptable: Your strong opinions are loosely held; you’re open to new ideas and avenues of exploration; you are able to roll with the flow when business opportunities arise and priorities shift.
- Team player: You collaborate well, communicate with empathy, and enjoy mentoring and learning from others.
Bonus Points
- You have production experience with FluxCD, ArgoCD, Kargo, AWS Controller for Kubernetes (ACK), and/or Crossplane.
- You’ve designed and developed CI/CD pipelines meant to serve multiple teams/applications.
- You’ve contributed to open source projects in the platform space.
- You were once a product developer before moving into platform development.
- You use modern AI tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to boost your productivity and focus on higher-leverage problems.
