Commure; Mountain View (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Commure is hiring a Senior Software Engineer on the Infrastructure team to own the foundational platform that underpins all engineering teams. You will design, build, and operate cloud-native infrastructure across public and on-prem environments.

You will drive internal developer tooling, ensure secure access, and shape the release, observability, and traffic layers using Terraform, Kubernetes, Argo CD, and service mesh. This role requires deep SRE principles and healthcare-domain awareness.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of software engineering experience in infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineering roles.
• Experience building internal developer platforms with a product mindset.
• Experience with public cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure) and managed cloud services.
• Experience with on-prem or hybrid environments and data center/cloud migrations.
• Experience with cloud-native technologies.
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi).
• Experience with controller-based infrastructure management (Crossplane, Kubernetes operators).
• Experience with service mesh technologies and software-defined networking.

Responsibilities

• Build out the internal developer platform: golden-path templates, self-serve tooling, local development environments, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Own the cloud foundation: GCP, AWS, and/or Azure infrastructure managed as code with Terraform and controller-based provisioning via Kubernetes operators and Crossplane.
• Run the Kubernetes fleet: cluster lifecycle, upgrades, autoscaling, node management, and multi-cluster patterns. Shape how services are packaged and deployed with Helm.
• Design the traffic and network layer: service mesh, ingress, mTLS, and traffic management (routing, rate limiting, canary, circuit-breaking, RPC).
• Own the release and deployment story with Argo CD. GitOps workflows, progressive delivery (canary, blue-green), rollback safety, and environment promotion patterns.
• Own the observability stack: OpenTelemetry based instrumentation, metrics (Prometheus), dashboards (Grafana), distributed tracing, logging, unified alerting.
• Build out zero-trust access to internal and external systems: VPN, BeyondCorp, short-lived credentials, and on-prem connectivity.
• Partner with Security on secrets management, policy-as-code, and secure-by-default patterns that meet HIPAA and SOC 2 by default.
