Our platform now handles calls for thousands of providers with 98%+ resolution rates and 99% scheduling accuracy . Patient satisfaction averages 4.4/5 , and we’ve achieved 11× revenue growth since Q4 2024 . We’re scaling rapidly and expanding adoption across the entire healthcare industry.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be the go-to expert for keeping our systems fast, stable, and resilient. While your primary mission is reliability, you’ll also help shape the infrastructure, CI/CD, and tooling that enable the team to move faster and safer.

Your scope may include:

• Define, own, and improve SLIs / SLOs / error budgets — set measurable targets around availability, latency, and error rates, and drive toward achieving them

• Build and maintain observability across the stack (metrics, logging, tracing, dashboards, alerts, anomaly detection) and lead incident management — coordinating responses, improving runbooks and postmortems, automating with AI tools, and collaborating with partners like Deepgram, Cartesia, GCP, and EHRs to ensure capacity

• Reduce operational toil by automating repetitive tasks and building self-healing systems and remediation workflows

• Improve deployment safety through canary or blue/green rollouts, automated rollbacks, chaos experiments, and deployment guardrails

• Contribute to infrastructure work : IaC, cloud architecture, networking, autoscaling, and related systems

• Ensure reliability across services, databases, caches, queues, third-party integrations, and networks

• Drive capacity planning, performance tuning, and cost optimization

• Mentor others on reliability best practices and champion a reliability mindset across engineering

Experience & Background

• 3+ years focused on reliability, SRE, or production infrastructure

• Hands-on experience running production systems in startups or growth-stage companies (not just large enterprises)

• Comfortable balancing firefighting with strategic reliability improvements

Technical Must-haves:

• Cloud infrastructure experience ( GCP preferred; AWS or Azure fine )

• Implemented or maintained observability stacks (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Honeycomb, OpenTelemetry, Sentry, PagerDuty)

• Can code and automate

• Comfortable with Kubernetes

Nice-to-haves:

• Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform strongly preferred)

• CI/CD pipelines and modern deployment strategies

• Early-stage/high-growth experience

• Exposure to security, compliance, or resilience architectures

• Voice infra experience (Twilio, etc.)

Why This Role Matters

• You’ll build the reliability foundation — systems, culture, and practices — from the ground up

• You’ll work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and leadership to influence priorities and tradeoffs

• You’ll see direct impact: fewer outages, faster incident resolution, and more confidence in launches
