Job description

• We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer on the Infrastructure team to own the foundational infrastructure and internal developer platform that every other engineering team at Commure builds on. This is a horizontal team supporting multi-product infrastructure that you will design, build, and operate end-to-end:
• Cloud infrastructure and IaC
• Kubernetes fleet and workload orchestration
• Internal developer platform
• Release and deployment (GitOps)
• Service mesh, traffic management, and networking
• Observability: metrics, logs, and traces
• Zero-trust access and on-prem connectivity
• The stack today runs on public cloud (GCP, AWS, and Azure), with all infrastructure defined as code (Terraform and controller-based). Argo CD drives deployment; Helm handles application packaging; Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry power observability. Service mesh is an active build-out, and the shape of it is yours to define
• This is a hands-on IC role with broad scope. You’ll make architectural calls, write the code that matters most, and set the patterns other teams build on
• You’ll own several of these verticals within the team’s scope end-to-end
• 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, templated dashboard, etc
• 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

• Experience with plus controller-based infrastructure management (Crossplane, Kubernetes operators) 6+ years of software engineering experience in infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineering roles
• Experience with public cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure) and managed cloud services
• Experience with modern release workflows using GitOps and progressive delivery (Argo CD, Flux, Kargo)
• Experience with cloud-native technologies
• Experience building internal developer platforms with a strong product mindset (treating developers as customers)
• Experience in regulated industries (healthcare, finance) with HIPAA and SOC 2 obligations
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi)
• Experience with service mesh technologies and software-defined networking (SDN)
• Experience with observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
• Experience with on-prem or hybrid environments and data center / cloud migrations
