PulsePoint sits at the intersection of healthcare and adtech. We help brands and agencies interpret the hard-to-read signals across the health journey and unify these digital determinants of health with real-world data to produce the most dimensional view of the customer. We are 300+ and growing, post-acquisition business and one of the leading players in the US healthcare ad market.

We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join PulsePoint and ensure the reliability of the platform behind large-scale data and advertising systems that power business-critical services used every day across the company. The Platform Engineering team owns the foundation that lets engineering teams move quickly and safely – infrastructure supporting Kubernetes workloads, data platforms, developer tooling, observability, and production operations at scale.

Unlike many cloud-only environments, the team owns the full lifecycle, from bare-metal hardware and networking to Kubernetes, observability, and developer experience, across multi-petabyte data systems and business-critical services used by multiple engineering organizations.

You will

• Help design, build, and operate the Kubernetes platform used across PulsePoint – architecture and lifecycle management.
• Own reliability, observability, and incident response across platform services.
• Build infrastructure automation and GitOps workflows to reduce operational toil.
• Work on networking, service connectivity, and platform security.
• Improve developer experience through self-service, reliable platform capabilities.
• Operate large-scale distributed systems running on bare-metal infrastructure.

Stack

• Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Puppet, Terraform, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Alertmanager, Kafka, Redis, Ceph. Bare-metal and hybrid cloud/on-prem infrastructure. Experience with every technology is not required.

Requirements

• Experience operating production infrastructure at meaningful scale.
• Understanding of how distributed systems fail and recover.
• A preference for automation over repetitive operational work, and for simplifying systems rather than adding complexity.
• Ownership extending beyond the boundaries of a single component.
• Willingness to work 9am–6pm ET US hours (fully remote).
• We offer
• Remote work, high engineering bar and comfortable culture.
• Flat hierarchy with easy access to business, product, and operations.
• Enormous scale (10M+ peak rps) with real growth potential.
• Ownership and direct impact, you have room to shift focus as your interests evolve.
• Up to 150k USD salary, higher figures and EU/UK/US employment are negotiable.
