[Hiring] Senior Platform Engineer @NikoHealth

Role Description

This is a newly created role, and one of the first two engineering hires NikoHealth will make in the United States. You'll report directly to the CTO and own how our software gets released and run while working closely with other senior engineers.

We operate dozens of .NET services deployed per-customer on Windows Server and IIS in AWS, managed with Terraform and Octopus Deploy. Across hundreds of provider tenants that's thousands of running application instances. Today a change waits for the next release train, and the train then takes weeks to reach the whole fleet, so end-to-end a given feature takes months. Improving our deployment and development experience is the first job. After that there are dozens of areas of platform investment needed to support how fast we're scaling.

What You'll Do

• Own our CI/CD pipeline end to end, with the authority to change what it deploys and how.
• Own developer experience: reproducible builds, a local environment someone can actually stand up, and fast honest feedback on every change.
• Get our automated regression suite running in CI.
• Cut release lead time and get the fleet inside a published, committed release window.
• Make fleet version state answerable by a query instead of by a person.
• Design and publish an access model, so provisioning stops routing through one inbox.
• Start bringing runtimes and dependencies current, beginning with the shared libraries everything else depends on.
• Document and share what you learn, so infrastructure knowledge stops being concentrated in one place.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering.
• Production Terraform, including state you owned and drift you had to reconcile.
• Production Windows Server and IIS, application pools included.
• End-to-end ownership of a CI/CD pipeline in a previous role.
• AWS at the level this estate uses it: EC2, ALB, VPC, IAM.
• A track record of replacing a manual process with a measured and automated one.
• Evidence you've made other engineers faster, not just the systems.
• Daily working use of AI coding agents such as Cursor or Claude Code.

Nice to have

• Octopus Deploy, or another deployment orchestrator you owned.
• Single-tenant or multi-tenant SaaS at meaningful scale.
• Healthcare, HIPAA, or another regulated environment.

How we work

• This is brownfield and we're honest about it.
• Some of this estate is well-built and some of it grew.
• We work with AI agents, seriously.
• Most application development is done by a long-standing engineering partner.
• Two people isn't a platform team, it's the start of one.
• This is the start of the engineering team, not the end of it.

How to apply

Apply through the link on this page. Instead of a cover letter, we ask one question: tell us about a system you inherited, and the first thing you measured. A few sentences is plenty.

Use AI to help write your application if you want to, we do too. We read every one ourselves, and we can tell when nobody read the posting.

Your first conversation will be with our CTO, who is the hiring manager and will walk you through the rest of the process.
