Build and operate cloud infrastructure to support scalable, reliable, and secure healthcare AI platform.
Requirements
- 7+ years building and operating production cloud infrastructure at scale
- Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes — cluster management, workload design, networking, autoscaling, production troubleshooting
- GitOps & ArgoCD: Experience with ApplicationSets, sync waves, multi-cluster delivery, promotion workflows
- CI/CD experience: GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, or equivalent — pipelines, caching, artifact management, security gates
- IAC: Pulumi, Terraform, or equivalent — writing infrastructure as code, not just running it
- Secrets Management: centralized stores, ESO or equivalent, automated rotation, zero inline secrets
- Security: IAM design, zero-trust principles, vulnerability scanning, dependency management
- Experience writing production-quality code in GoLang, functional programming style, not just scripts
- Cloud experience: we run on GCP. AWS or Azure experience with strong cloud fundamentals transfers well — you'll need to ramp quickly
Nice to have
- Experience with workflow orchestration platforms — Temporal, Argo Workflows, Airflow, or Cadence
- Prior work in HIPAA, SOC 2, or similarly regulated environments
- Exposure to service mesh, mTLS, or zero-trust networking patterns
- Experience building internal developer platforms or golden-path tooling
- Background working in healthcare or other data-sensitive industries
Conditions
- Compensation for this position will include a base salary, equity, and a variety of comprehensive benefits. The U.S. base salary range for this role is $160,000 - $270,000. Actual base salaries will be based on candidate-specific factors, including experience, skillset, and location, and local minimum pay requirements as applicable.
- As part of our total rewards package, we offer attractive benefits and perks to our employees, including:
- Free lunch in the office daily & dinner if you're in the office past 7PM
- Comprehensive health, dental, & vision insurance for you and your family
- Life insurance
- 10 company holidays
- Take what you need PTO
- 4% 401k matching
- $300/month company-sponsored commuter benefits
- State of the art gym in the office
- And more!
- Please note the above benefits & perks are for full-time employees
Other
- Nearly every disease will become treatable in our lifetimes. Mandolin is laying the clinical and financial infrastructure to get groundbreaking treatments to patients faster, powered by AI agents.
- Mandolin partners closely with the largest healthcare institutions in the US, covering more than $10B drug spend across the country. We're backed by Greylock, SV Angel, Maverick, SignalFire, and the founders of Vercel, Decagon, and Yahoo.
- Mandolin’s usage is climbing quickly and we’re preparing for a broad public launch. The platform must deliver enterprise-grade reliability, airtight security, and effortless developer productivity while processing sensitive healthcare data. We’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineer who can build and operate a rock-solid cloud foundation—then codify the best-practice guardrails that every engineer will rely on as we scale.
- Own cloud infrastructure end-to-end: Design and operate scalable, highly available environments across development, staging, and production. Establish autoscaling policies, HA networking, cost-efficient resource management, and clear environment parity. We run on GCP today — what matters is how you think about infrastructure, not which cloud you learned on.
- Drive GitOps and Kubernetes delivery: Own the GitOps delivery pipeline using ArgoCD and Kubernetes. Manage clusters, ApplicationSets, workload deployments, and promotion workflows across environments. Ensure deployments are reliable, observable, and safely reversible.
- Embed security into the SDLC: Centralize secrets management, define zero-trust IAM policies, integrate continuous vulnerability scanning into CI/CD, and own incident-response playbooks. Security is a design input, not an afterthought.
- Build first-class observability: Deploy and maintain metrics, tracing, and log pipelines. Define actionable SLOs and alerting so the team knows about problems before customers do.
- Improve developer experience: Provide runbooks, local-environment tooling, and clear onboarding patterns that let new engineers ship safely on day one. Reduce toil through automation and golden-path tooling.
- Write code that matters: Infrastructure at Mandolin isn't just configuration — you'll write Go to build internal tooling, automate operational workflows, and solve problems that can't be solved with YAML alone.
- Collaborate across teams: Review architectural changes for infrastructure and security impact. Partner with backend engineers on scalability initiatives. Document decisions clearly so knowledge doesn't live only in your head.
