Our stakeholders are all of Cityblock’s engineers and we frequently pair or mob collaboratively with them to help understand their problems and create systemic solutions. Our existing applications generally use: Typescript, Node.js, GraphQL, TypeGraphQL, React, and PostgreSQL, and leverage GCP through Cloud Run, BigQuery, GCS and Cloud Functions. On the Platform Team, we also work heavily with tools like Terraform, Datadog, Github Actions, Tonic, and Apollo to automate management of these systems for other projects. We cross boundaries to partner with the data engineering team on cross-organizational platform management and also interact with python and DBT. We are looking for someone with experience working across the full stack and comfort with querying and analyzing data to drive decisions If you like building great developer experiences, are seeking out entrepreneurial opportunities, and are an amazing teammate, we want to hear from you! Responsibilities Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure on GCP using Terraform, with an emphasis on reusable modules, clear ownership boundaries, and safe change management. Own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines, developer environments, and deployment tooling to keep our software and data engineers productive. Execute infosec initiatives: vulnerability management, access controls, secrets management, audit logging, compliance evidence collection (HIPAA, SOC 2), and incident response. Build observability into our systems—metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and SLOs—so we can detect and resolve issues before they impact Members or care teams. Partner with software and data engineers to unblock them on infrastructure, database, networking, and deployment challenges, and provide paved-road patterns that make the secure path the easy path.
