Nice to Have * Experience in healthcare technology, regulated SaaS, or HIPAA / HITRUST / SOC 2 environments. * Direct MCP server implementation or administration experience. * Cloud cost optimization or enterprise platform modernization experience. ## Description Interra Health is scaling AI across engineering: developer velocity, operational resilience, automation, observability, and secure delivery, and the Senior Platform Engineer is the hands-on builder who turns that ambition into working systems. Reporting to the Director, Platform & Operations, this role owns the design, implementation, and operation of AI-enabled platform capabilities: MCP server configuration and reliability, LLMOps/GenAIOps tooling, secure model integration patterns, and the underlying Azure cloud infrastructure those capabilities run on. This is an individual-contributor role, not a people-management seat. You will partner closely with the Lead AI Platform Engineer, who owns the AI enablement roadmap and team, and with the engineers who run the core Azure platform, but you carry direct, hands-on responsibility for building, hardening, and operating the AI layer itself, from infrastructure as code and CI/CD through to production monitoring, security, and compliance for AI workloads. The right person has deep DevOps and cloud engineering fundamentals paired with genuine, practical fluency in applying AI to real infrastructure and developer-experience problems, someone who'd rather ship a working integration than write another proposal about one. What you'll do: * Design, build, and operate secure, scalable, highly available Azure infrastructure underpinning both core platform services and AI workloads, using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). * Configure, secure, and operate MCP servers and related AI integration points, including access patterns, reliability, and lifecycle management, for enterprise use. * Build and operationalize AI-enabled capabilities, including internal engineering assistants, workflow automation, infrastructure insights, and incident-response support, applying practical LLMOps/GenAIOps practices for evaluation, monitoring, logging, cost management, and access control. * Implement and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and DevSecOps practices, integrating security and compliance into AI and infrastructure deployment workflows from the ground up. * Own observability and reliability for AI and platform services, applying SRE principles such as SLOs, incident response, and blameless postmortems. * Partner with the Lead AI Platform Engineer to implement the AI platform roadmap, building the reusable patterns, guardrails, and "paved road" solutions other engineering teams adopt. * Evaluate, pilot, and support adoption of AI coding assistants and platform tooling across the engineering AI landscape, including GitHub Copilot, M365 Copilot, and other emerging AI dev tools, with a build-versus-buy mindset balancing speed, cost, security, and long-term maintainability. * Participate in Agile ceremonies, track and prioritize work in Jira, and influence release planning and architectural decisions. * Participate in on-call rotations and provide Level 3 support for production platform and AI systems. * Contribute to internal documentation, runbooks, and knowledge-sharing so AI and platform practices scale beyond any one person., Design, implement, optimize, and maintain scalable hybrid multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms operating at massive scale. Integrate open-source technologies, improve platform reliability, provide technical direction, mentor engineers, and participate in on-call support. The role requires expertise managing large Kubernetes clusters, observability tools, Linux environments, public clouds, custom data centers, and AI-enabled workflow improvements.
