About Us
Propel is on a mission to build technology that strengthens the social safety net. We’re a passionate team of ~100 Propellers who envision a future where every American has the tools and resources they need to thrive.
The Role
Are you a Platform Engineer looking to make a big impact on a mission-driven company? Do you enjoy architecting software that shapes an entire engineering organization? Do you thrive in high-autonomy startup environments?
We’re looking for a self-motivated Senior Platform Engineer to join our Developer Enablement Team within the engineering org at Propel.
This role empowers other engineers by improving the cloud native platforms that enable development and delivery of Propel’s technology. These cloud native platforms impact several products and stacks, including interacting with government programs, surfacing savings opportunities, enrolling users in healthcare plans, internal tooling, architecture, and more! Your focus will be on running fault tolerant applications in Kubernetes and AWS, and solving organization-wide engineering problems.
We are looking for a tinkerer to experiment with improvements to the developer experience at Propel. You will architect new features for our cloud platform, support a wide-variety of production applications, address technical debt, and help guide other engineers.
What we offer:
- An engineering culture that is humble, motivated, and collaborative
- Consistent knowledge sharing through projects or bugs demos, Lunch & Learn presentations, and documentation
- A people-first approach to management where we value engineers’ voices, support career development, and offer opportunities for technical growth that interest you
- Meaningful work and a strong shared sense of mission
- A remote-first working environment. Our headquarters is in Brooklyn and we have a co-working monthly stipend for employees outside of NYC. We're currently accepting applications from the states we have an established entity, which includes California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
- Fair, equitable, and competitive salaries. Propel believes that everyone should be compensated fairly and equitably. We set our salary ranges using compensation data from hundreds of NYC based startups at our stage. Additionally, pay is not determined based on location. The salary range for this position is $170,000 - $240,000 depending on experience and interview performance. Equity and excellent benefits come with this position as well!
- 20 Days of PTO
- 4% 401K match
- $10k lifetime spend towards Carrot Fertility
- Excellent Medical, Dental and Vision options
What you will do:
- Own our fundamental cloud services and tooling. You will manage our cloud networks, security policies, and other low-level cloud services. Our engineering team provisions cloud infrastructure on top of this foundation, using infrastructure as code tools like Terraform.
- Own our application platform. You will administer our Kubernetes clusters to meet the needs of the engineering team. You will explore new tools and services that improve the security and reliability of our applications running on the platform.
- Own our developer experience. You will assist engineers with best practices for using and deploying to the platform. You will administer our CI/CD and other internal tools to make this as easy as possible.
What you have:
- 5+ years experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Systems Engineering
- Proficient with at least one high-level programming language - Python, Go, or whatever else you like
- Strong understanding of networking, containers, security and scalability
- Strong Kubernetes fundamentals and experience with Helm or other common tools in the ecosystem
- Strong infrastructure as code skills (we use Terraform)
- Broad experience across many cloud services within a major cloud provider (we use AWS)
- Experience with observability platforms (we use Datadog)
- Experience writing CI/CD pipelines (we use GitHub Actions)
- Experience being part of an on-call rotation to fix urgent issues
- The following are nice to have but not required:
- Experience with Kubernetes tools such as Vault, Sealed Secrets, Consul, Prometheus, etc.
- Experience with data platforms such as Snowflake, and experience building and managing data infrastructure
- Cybersecurity and/or regulatory compliance experience (HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc)
Additional Considerations:
- We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team, and welcome applicants from all backgrounds and abilities.
