Mandolin’s usage is climbing quickly and we’re preparing for a broad public launch. The platform must deliver enterprise-grade reliability, airtight security, and effortless developer productivity while processing sensitive healthcare data. We’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineer who can build and operate a rock-solid cloud foundation—then codify the best-practice guardrails that every engineer will rely on as we scale. ### What you’ll do
Own cloud infrastructure end-to-end: Design and operate scalable, highly available environments across development, staging, and production. Establish autoscaling policies, HA networking, cost-efficient resource management, and clear environment parity. We run on GCP today — what matters is how you think about infrastructure, not which cloud you learned on. - Own the GitOps delivery pipeline using ArgoCD and Kubernetes. Manage clusters, ApplicationSets, workload deployments, and promotion workflows across environments. Ensure deployments are reliable, observable, and safely reversible. - 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. - Deploy and maintain metrics, tracing, and log pipelines. Define actionable SLOs and alerting so the team knows about problems before customers do. - Provide runbooks, local-environment tooling, and clear onboarding patterns that let new engineers ship safely on day one. Reduce toil through automation and golden-path tooling. - 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. - 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. ###

Collaborate across teams:
Must-have experience
7+ years building and operating production cloud infrastructure at scale
Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes — cluster management, workload design, networking, autoscaling, production troubleshooting
IAC: Pulumi, Terraform, or equivalent — writing infrastructure as code, not just running it
Secrets Management: centralized stores, ESO or equivalent, automated rotation, zero inline secrets
Security: IAM design, zero-trust principles, vulnerability scanning, dependency management
Experience writing production-quality code in GoLang, functional programming style, not just scripts
Cloud experience: we run on GCP. AWS or Azure experience with strong cloud fundamentals transfers well — you'll need to ramp quickly
Nice-to-haves
Experience with workflow orchestration platforms — Temporal, Argo Workflows, Airflow, or Cadence
Prior work in HIPAA, SOC 2, or similarly regulated environments
Exposure to service mesh, mTLS, or zero-trust networking patterns
Experience building internal developer platforms or golden-path tooling
Background working in healthcare or other data-sensitive industries
