Senior Platform Engineer

About Kimedics

Kimedics is transforming the way healthcare organizations manage their workforce. As part of the Jackson Healthcare family, we provide a modern, intuitive platform that helps hospitals, medical groups, and clinicians streamline scheduling, credentialing, time tracking, and workforce operations.

Our mission is to empower healthcare teams with technology that removes friction, increases transparency, and improves patient care. We’re growing quickly and building an engineering organization where innovation, reliability, and trust are foundational.

About The Role:

The Platform team at Kimedics builds and operates the infrastructure foundation that every product team depends on. We own the cloud platform running on Azure, the container orchestration layer, the identity and security posture, and the observability systems that keep our services healthy and our engineers informed.

Senior Platform Engineer is a hands-on technical role. You'll design and build real systems, own meaningful infrastructure decisions, and work across the stack from networking, IAM, and Azure services, to CI/CD pipelines and code repository configuration. You'll also help shape how the team works: setting technical standards, reviewing your peers' work thoughtfully, and mentoring engineers who are still building their fundamentals.

If you're someone who finds deep satisfaction in making platform infrastructure simple and reliable for the engineers who depend on it, and who takes the security and compliance obligations of healthcare software seriously, this role is worth a close look.

What You Will Do:

First Year Focus:

• Own the v1-to-v2 customer data migration: extract, transform, validate, and load with full auditability and a reusable runbook that becomes the pattern for all future migrations.
• Build and maintain the core pipeline infrastructure using dbt, Azure Data Factory, and Fabric structured around raw, staging, and conformed data zones in Azure SQL and other Azure data storage.
• Establish schema review as part of the product development process, so data consequences are considered before a feature ships, not after.
• Define and enforce data modeling standards and naming conventions across product teams.
• Build data quality checks and pipeline observability into Azure Monitor alongside existing application alerting.

What You Will Do

Infrastructure and Cloud Platform

You'll design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure on Azure using infrastructure-as-code practices. Terraform and Azure service operators are part of our daily vocabulary. We treat infrastructure as software: version controlled, reviewed, tested, and documented. You'll contribute to that standard and help raise it.

Container Workloads and Kubernetes

We use Azure Container Services and will be moving toward Kubernetes. You'll own workload configuration, deployment patterns, resource management, and cluster health. You understand the operational realities of containerized systems at scale and can navigate them with confidence.

Networking and Security

Platform engineers here work at the network and identity layer, not above it. You'll design and maintain virtual network topology, firewall rules, private endpoints, and service connectivity. Identity and access management is a first-class concern: we're actively hardening our IAM posture against SOC2 Type 2 and HITRUST requirements, and you'll play a real role in that work.

Observability, Logging, and Alerting

You understand that a system you can't observe is a system you can't trust. You'll build and maintain the logging pipelines, metrics infrastructure, dashboards, and alerting rules that keep the team ahead of issues rather than chasing them.

Systems Design and Architecture

Platform work requires thinking in systems. You'll evaluate tradeoffs across reliability, security, cost, and operational complexity. You'll contribute to architecture decisions, write ADRs, and help the team make choices that hold up over time.

What You Bring

• 6 to 8 or more years of professional engineering experience, with a strong track record in cloud or infrastructure engineering.
• Hands-on experience with Azure: compute, networking, storage, identity, and managed services. You know the platform deeply, not just from the surface.
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tooling. Terraform and GitOps with Azure-native service operators experience is strongly preferred.
• Solid Kubernetes experience: workload configuration, namespace and RBAC design, and resource management.
• Working knowledge of cloud networking fundamentals: Zero Trust networking, VNets, subnets, NSGs, private endpoints, DNS, and service connectivity patterns.
• Understanding of identity and access management in Azure, including Entra ID, managed identities, and role assignments. Exposure to compliance-driven IAM work (SOC2, HITRUST, HIPAA).
• Experience building observability systems: structured logging, metrics pipelines, distributed tracing, and alert design that reduces noise rather than adding to it.
• Strong system design instincts. You can hold a complex system in your head, identify where it's fragile, and propose improvements that are practical to implement.
• A genuine orientation toward collaboration. You give useful code reviews, communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to people outside your immediate domain, and take ownership of team outcomes rather than just your own ticket queue.
• Experience in healthcare, fintech, or other regulated industries is preferred.

QUALIFICATIONS – EDUCATION, WORK EXPERIENCE, CERTIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, related technical field, or equivalent practical experience, required
• 6-8+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong track record of independent delivery
• Proven experience designing and delivering complex distributed systems, data solutions, or cloud infrastructure at production scale
• Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers and raising team technical standards
• Experience in healthcare, fintech, or other regulated industries (HIPAA, SOC2) preferred

Why Join Kimedics?

• You’ll play a central role in shaping our analytics platform and influencing how healthcare organizations make operational and financial decisions. This is a strategic, high‑impact product role with room to innovate, build, and scale. This role offers a full benefits package with Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, and more.
