Senior Platform Engineer

We exist to create a more connected, compassionate, and confident experience for people with cancer and those who care for them. We make it easier to get answers, access high-quality care quickly, and feel supported throughout treatment and beyond.

Today, Thyme Care is a market-leading value-based oncology care enabler, partnering with national and regional health plans, providers, and employers to deliver better outcomes and lower costs for thousands of people across the country. Our model combines high-touch human support with powerful technology and AI to bring together everyone involved in a person’s cancer journey: caregivers, oncologists, health plans, and employers.

As a tech-native organization, we believe technology should strengthen the human connection at the center of care. Through data science, automation, and AI, we simplify complexity, improve collaboration, and help care teams focus on what matters most: supporting people through cancer.

Looking ahead, our vision is bold: to become a household name in cancer care, where every person diagnosed asks for Thyme Care by name. If you’re inspired to make cancer care more human and to help reimagine what’s possible, we’d love to meet you. Together, we can build a future where every person with cancer feels truly cared for, in every moment that matters.

As a Platform Engineer at Thyme Care, you will join a team focused on building the infrastructure, developer tooling, and workflows that help drive high-quality interventions for our members with cancer. You’ll partner closely with other engineering teams to improve the internal platform, reduce operational friction, and support feature development. This role is well suited for a senior engineer who enjoys owning ambiguous platform problems from discovery through delivery.

• →Lead medium-to-large platform initiatives end-to-end, from early discovery and technical design through rollout and adoption.
• →Own and evolve our AWS platform (including EKS, RDS, networking) using Terraform and other infrastructure-as-code tools.
• →Build and maintain internal Python libraries and Kubernetes tooling that abstract away infrastructure complexity, letting other engineers self-serve deployments with minimal platform help.
• →Improve our CI/CD pipelines by building and maintaining reusable workflows, optimizing performance, and enhancing our deployment and rollback capabilities.
• →Partner with engineers across the organization to improve developer experience through better tooling, clearer workflows, and team enablement.
• →Participate in our on-call rotation, improving our observability, triaging incidents, and handling support requests from our engineering and data teams.                                                      

• →You have strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (we use Terraform), CI/CD (we use Github Actions), and service observability (we use Datadog and PagerDuty).
• →You’ve deployed and managed containerized workloads (we use Docker, Kubernetes, Lambda) in a cloud environment (AWS experience strongly preferred).
• →You’ve used Python in a professional context (we use it for scripting, DevEx tools, infrastructure frameworks, and more).
• →You have participated in an on-call rotation, and you’re comfortable using an observability stack to monitor production and troubleshoot issues that arise.
• →You have built and supported internal developer platforms as a product, with attention to usability and adoption.
• →You have experience in healthcare, health tech, or another regulated environment.
• →You’ve worked in fast-paced, early stage environments. You’re comfortable iterating quickly and wearing multiple hats when needed. You know how to take a project from a loosely scoped idea to a fully realized feature.
