AWS or Azure experience with strong cloud fundamentals transfers well - you'll need to ramp quickly, * 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 ## Description 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. ## Related Videos - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Building a Cloud Platform Where Everything is Just Another Kubernetes Resource](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100137-building-a-cloud-platform-where-everything-is-just-another-kubernetes-resource) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers)
