About the role

  • ABOUT MANDOLIN 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.
  • We're backed by Greylock, SV Angel, Maverick, SignalFire, and the founders of Vercel, Decagon, and Yahoo.

Responsibilities

  • Own cloud infrastructure end-to-end: Design and operate scalable, highly available environments across development, staging, and production.
  • Drive GitOps and Kubernetes delivery: Own the GitOps delivery pipeline using ArgoCD and Kubernetes.
  • Manage clusters, ApplicationSets, workload deployments, and promotion workflows across environments.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 7+ years building and operating production cloud infrastructure at scale
  • CI/CD experience: GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, or equivalent - pipelines, caching, artifact management, security gates
  • Security: IAM design, zero-trust principles, vulnerability scanning, dependency management
  • Experience building internal developer platforms or golden-path tooling

Requirements

  • Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes - cluster management, workload design, networking, autoscaling, production troubleshooting
  • Experience with ApplicationSets, sync waves, multi-cluster delivery, promotion workflows
  • GitOps & ArgoCD: Experience with ApplicationSets, sync waves, multi-cluster delivery, promotion workflows
  • 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

Skills

  • Establish autoscaling policies, HA networking, cost-efficient resource management, and clear environment parity.
  • Pulumi, Terraform, or equivalent - writing infrastructure as code, not just running it

Compensation
