About the role

  • You are an experienced engineer who works independently on complex infrastructure problems, makes sound technical decisions, and helps raise the bar for the engineers around you.
  • This is a fully remote, US-based role working closely with a global engineering team.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the reliability of Epic's infrastructure-set and track SLOs/SLIs, reduce toil, and engineer out recurring instability.
  • Build and operate the cloud infrastructure and container platform for high availability, scalability, and cost efficiency-including workload scheduling, autoscaling, networking, and graceful failure handling.
  • Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines for fast, safe delivery across engineering teams.
  • Own and evolve the observability stack-metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerts.
  • Manage infrastructure as code across the organization, with a focus on consistency, change safety, and reproducibility.
  • Own platform security practices-including secrets management, IAM policies, and network segmentation.
  • Support compliance-aware infrastructure practices-including vulnerability management, access reviews, audit-evidence flows, and incident-response readiness.
  • drive incident response, blameless post-mortems, and follow-through on systemic fixes.
  • Partner with product and data engineering teams to troubleshoot platform issues and guide developers on infrastructure best practices.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including GCE, GCS, VPC, IAM, Cloud Monitoring, and related services.
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes (GKE), including containerizing workloads, Helm, and cluster fundamentals.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins, or similar tools.
  • Experience with an observability platform such as New Relic, including metrics, logging, alerting, and dashboards.
  • Proficiency with Terraform for managing infrastructure as code.
  • Scripting or programming experience with Python, Bash, or similar languages.

Nice to have

  • Experience operating workflow orchestration platforms such as Dagster or Airflow as a service for data or platform teams.
  • Familiarity with PromRelay for metrics forwarding and alert routing.
  • Familiarity with the operational footprint of data platforms, including warehouse infrastructure, job schedulers, and batch workloads.
  • Experience working within distributed or global engineering teams.
  • Working knowledge of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, FERPA, and COPPA, as well as GRC tools.
  • Proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is a plus.
