[Hiring] Platform Engineer @Evolent

Role Description

Evolent is transforming how it builds and operates infrastructure under a refreshed Platform Engineering & Operations operating model, grounded in four principles:

• Architecture First
• Automation by Default
• Reliability is a Shared Responsibility
• Golden Paths Over Custom Solutions

You will turn approved designs into provisioned, automated, and documented platforms, and you will do it transparently, through formal handoffs, Office Hours reviews, and documentation your peers can actually rely on.

Platform Engineering is moving toward agentic AI as a standard part of how the organization works. As agentic AI transforms the way we work, we expect our engineers to be at the forefront of that change, designing and building intelligent solutions rather than simply consuming them. This builder mentality is a core attribute we assess from the first conversation.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Provision and change infrastructure exclusively as code, so that every environment is reproducible, reviewable, and free of manual drift.
• Reverse engineer the applications and infrastructure you inherit: trace dependencies, integrations, and data flows end to end until you can explain how a system actually works.
• Design and build agentic AI solutions for platform, delivery, and operations work: identify the toil worth automating, then build, evaluate, and harden the agent that removes it.
• Build security and compliance into the delivery path: least-privilege access, secrets handling, policy-as-code guardrails, and audit evidence produced by design rather than assembled under deadline.
• Engineer and manage observability solutions using OpenTelemetry to monitor and trace application performance.
• Deploy and manage containerization solutions using platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes, with a strong focus on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Container Apps (ACA).
• Monitor container health and performance, troubleshoot issues, and implement lasting remediation.
• Participate in Root Cause Analysis and address the actual root cause, so the same problem does not recur.

Requirements

• Employees must have a high-speed broadband internet connection with a minimum speed of 50 Mbps.
• The ability to set up a wired connection to their home network to ensure effective remote work.

Company Description

Evolent partners with health plans and providers to achieve better outcomes for people with the most complex and costly health conditions. Working across specialties and primary care, we seek to connect the pieces of the fragmented health care system and ensure people get the same level of care and compassion we would want for our loved ones.

Evolent employees enjoy work/life balance, the flexibility to suit their work to their lives, and autonomy they need to get things done. We believe that people do their best work when they're supported to live their best lives, and when they feel welcome to bring their whole selves to work. That's one reason why diversity and inclusion are core to our business.
