Job Description


About Us

We’re a health-tech spin-off from a leading provider of integrated pharmacy and healthcare workflow solutions uniquely positioned to tackle the challenges of pharmacy claim processing and backend billing. With firsthand knowledge of the system's pitfalls, we leverage our deep expertise to boost operational efficiency, enabling seamless collaboration among care teams, payers, and patients. By combining automation, data-driven insights, and user-centric design, we're transforming fragmented systems into unified, transparent experiences. If you're passionate about directly improving healthcare, we’d love for you to join us.

Why We Do What We Do

We envision healthcare as:

  • Efficient: No more paperwork or missing information.
  • Collaborative: Breaking down silos among doctors, pharmacists, and payers.
  • Patient-Focused: Faster claims processing and reimbursement to enhance patient outcomes.

We use innovative technology and thoughtful design to overcome delays, reduce costs, and improve patient care and provider experience.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to own, design, and scale our Azure-based platform infrastructure.

This is not a pure DevOps role.

You will:

  • Build the platform (hands-on)
  • Define the architecture (strategy)
  • Evolve into leadership (Team Lead → Director → Head)

We want someone who can think like a Head of infrastructure, but still ship like a senior engineer in startup mode.

  • Implement secure-by-design infrastructure
  • Work with:
    • Identity & access (RBAC, Managed Identity)
    • Secrets management (Key Vault)
    • Network isolation
  • Build with HIPAA / regulated environment mindset

Cost & Performance Engineering

  • Optimize cloud cost (FinOps mindset)
  • Monitor and improve:
    • Resource utilization
    • Scaling strategies
    • Cost vs performance trade-offs
AI Infrastructure (Next Gen)

  • Deploy and operate agentic AI workflows using Azure AI Foundry
  • Integrate AI services into platform architecture
  • Build infrastructure supporting:
    • LLM-based workflows
    • Data pipelines for AI systems
Leadership & Evolution

  • Act as a technical leader for platform

  • Ambition → you want to grow into leadership
  • Pragmatism → you balance perfection with delivery
  • Systems thinking → you understand how everything connects

Why Join

  • Build greenfield + evolving platform in a complex, high-impact domain
  • Work on real-world regulated systems (healthcare + payments-like complexity)
  • Opportunity to shape the entire platform organization
  • Competitive compensation
  • Strong growth path into leadership
