## About the role

This is a Platform Engineering role with a Product Engineer's mindset. You'll own the foundation that Pelago's product and data run on. That means the infrastructure, the event-driven data platform, and the reliability and cost discipline that keep both healthy. You'll build with the end use in mind: reporting, member-facing features, and ultimately, clinical impact. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience with Terraform and Infrastructure As Code, and with building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
- Strong AWS experience, including designing, securing and operating cloud-native services
- Proficiency in Python and TypeScript (Node) across backend services, data pipelines and tooling
- Deep experience with event-driven architectures and data platforms (e.g., Kafka or AWS-native streaming and messaging), including integrating third-party data sources in production
- Strong instincts for observability and reliability: you know how to tell when systems or data are wrong, late or incomplete, and you build alerting and runbooks that surface it
- A cost-conscious mindset. You've optimized hosting costs and made architecture trade-offs with spend in mind
