[Hiring] Senior Platform Engineer @SandboxAQ

Role Description

We are seeking a Staff Platform Engineer to develop the infrastructure, tooling, and pipelines required to support the operational needs of our Medical Device product, from an embedded Linux fleet in the field to the cloud. Treating infrastructure as a product, you'll build the systems that let our device, cloud, and data-science software engineers ship quickly and safely. This is a hands-on, systems-minded role - you will write real tooling, not just pipeline YAML- and you will make the compliant path the fast path so we never trade patient safety for speed.

Key Responsibilities

• Platform & Infrastructure
  • Own the build, signing, rollout, rollback, and per-device configuration for our in-field Linux kiosk fleet.
  • Own CI/CD, test-gated promotion, controlled approvals, and release traceability across both cloud and device software.
  • Own the operational quality bar for the platform—observability, alerting, reliability, backup and recovery, auditability, and security controls.
  • Operate the AWS and Terraform foundation on which the product and engineering teams depend.
  • Establish golden paths and self-service tools that empower engineers to deploy independently.
• Execution & Ownership
  • You design, build, test, and maintain real tooling and services, held to the same engineering standards as product code.
  • Turn our regulatory requirements into automated, tested tooling tied directly to delivery.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Be the platform infrastructure's technical voice with Product, Clinical, Regulatory, and InfoSec.
  • Support the data-science team's platform needs—reproducible environments, scalable compute, and reliable model serving.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in platform, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering in AWS.
• Strong, general software-engineering ability in a modern language (Python or Go).
• Experience operating Linux-based systems and fleets of networked/IoT devices.
• Demonstrated ownership of CI/CD and release/promotion systems.
• Deep expertise in Terraform/Terragrunt, plus containerization (Docker; ECS/Fargate and/or Kubernetes).
• Experience in building observability (Datadog/CloudWatch) and operating production systems.

Highly Desired Skills & Experience

• Experience delivering software in a regulated, safety-critical, or other high-assurance / sensitive-data environment.
• Hands-on experience with Mender or comparable embedded-Linux update systems.
• Experience delivering "Software as a Medical Device" through the full lifecycle.
• Experience designing HIPAA/GDPR-compliant systems.
• Experience in data engineering or infrastructure support for data-science and ML teams.
• Secure overlay networks and experience with GCP or Azure alongside AWS.
• Familiarity with diagnostic or imaging devices that have hardware in the loop.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents.
• Retirement savings with company matching.
• Paid parental leave and inclusive family-building benefits.
• Fully remote work and flexible paid time off.
• Opportunities for continuous learning and growth through on-the-job development.
