Job description

About the Role

Synthio is looking for a Platform Engineer to build and operate the infrastructure that powers Synthio Labs. You’ll work across Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD, observability, security, and developer infrastructure. You’ll also work directly with engineering teams and enterprise customer infrastructure teams, so strong communication is just as important as technical depth.

What You’ll Do

• Build and operate production Kubernetes infrastructure
• Own AWS infrastructure across multiple environments and customer deployments
• Build reliable CI/CD pipelines and automate deployments, rollbacks, and environment provisioning
• Improve observability, reliability, scalability, and security across the platform
• Debug production issues across Kubernetes, networking, databases, and applications
• Build tooling that helps engineers ship faster with less infrastructure overhead
• Work directly with customer infrastructure and security teams on enterprise deployments

What We’re Looking For

• Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience in production is required
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required
• 3+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure, or a similar role
• Strong AWS experience
• Strong understanding of Docker, Linux, networking, DNS, HTTP/TLS, and cloud security
• Experience with Terraform, AWS CDK, or other infrastructure-as-code tooling
• Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with monitoring, logging, alerting, and production incident debugging
• Ability to independently own infrastructure problems end-to-end

Nice to Have

• Experience with EKS, Helm, Argo CD, or similar tooling
• Experience deploying applications into customer-controlled cloud environments
• Experience with enterprise security or compliance requirements
• Experience operating real-time, voice, or AI workloads

We’re looking for builders who are comfortable moving quickly, communicating clearly, and taking full ownership of the systems they operate.

Why This Role Matters

At Synthio, we build software that directly supports patients, physicians, and pharma teams. This is production software, not prototypes or demos. The systems you build will be used in real workflows, under real constraints, and at real scale. You’ll have meaningful ownership and a clear line of sight from your code to real-world impact.
