Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. SandboxAQ is a high-growth company delivering AI solutions across life sciences, financial services, navigation, cybersecurity, and other sectors. The company is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to build and operate infrastructure, tooling, and pipelines supporting a medical device product spanning embedded Linux devices and cloud systems. The role owns fleet lifecycle management, CI/CD, AWS and Terraform infrastructure, observability, developer self-service, regulatory compliance tooling, and cross-functional platform enablement.
Responsibilities
- OTA & Kiosk Fleet Lifecycle: Own the build, signing, rollout, rollback, and per-device configuration for our in-field Linux kiosk fleet—along with the update mechanisms, recovery mechanisms, and operational tooling that keep fielded devices safe and reliable, and working with our cloud system
- CI/CD & Release Promotion: Own CI/CD, test-gated promotion, controlled approvals, and release traceability across both cloud and device software, defining the deployment control plane that makes releases boring, reversible, and auditable
- Observability & Infrastructure Quality: Own the operational quality bar for the platform—observability, alerting, reliability, backup and recovery, auditability, and security controls—and build the tooling that makes the safe path the default path
- AWS Infrastructure Support: Operate the AWS and Terraform foundation on which the product and engineering teams depend —reliable, secure, and reproducible—focused on keeping production systems running, rather than infrastructure for its own sake
- Developer Self-Service: Establish golden paths and self-service tools that empower engineers to deploy independently, while serving as a direct advisor for complex build or deployment issues
- Hands-on Software Engineering: You design, build, test, and maintain real tooling and services, held to the same engineering standards as product code
- Engineer How We Meet Regulation: Turn our regulatory requirements into automated, tested tooling tied directly to delivery—traceability, software bill of materials (SBOM), artifact signing, and audit trails, plus pipeline and device security
- Cross-Functional Execution: Be the platform infrastructure's technical voice with Product, Clinical, Regulatory, and InfoSec—translating their needs into platform work and supporting our clinical studies and regulatory submissions (e.g., 510(k) / De Novo)
- Data Platform Enablement: Support the data-science team's platform needs—reproducible environments, scalable compute, and reliable model serving—as they arise
Skills
- • Proven Public Cloud Platform Experience: 8+ years in platform, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering in AWS, with Staff-level ownership of production CI/CD and release systems for a complex, distributed system manipulating and storing sensitive data—paired with strong, general software-engineering ability in a modern language (Python or Go)
- • Linux & Device Fleet Operations: Experience operating Linux-based systems and fleets of networked/IoT devices, including OTA update strategies
- • CI/CD & Release Ownership: Demonstrated ownership of CI/CD and release/promotion systems, including test gating, approvals, and reversible deployments
- • Infrastructure as Code: Deep expertise in Terraform/Terragrunt, plus containerization (Docker; ECS/Fargate and/or Kubernetes)
- • Observability & Production Reliability: Experience in building observability (Datadog/CloudWatch) and operating production systems for monitoring and alerting to provide reliability
- • Regulated, Safety-Critical, or High-Assurance Experience (strongly preferred): Experience delivering software in a regulated, safety-critical, or other high-assurance / sensitive-data environment—medical device (IEC 62304 Class B/C) preferred, with adjacent domains such as aerospace (DO-178C), automotive (ISO 26262) or other highly regulated / high-assurance environments (e.g., financial services, defense) also welcome
- • Mender / Embedded OTA: Hands-on experience with Mender or comparable embedded-Linux update systems, including signed images and A/B update strategies
- • Medical Device / SaMD: Experience delivering "Software as a Medical Device" through the full lifecycle, and familiarity with FDA pathways (510(k) / De Novo)
- • Security & Data Privacy Depth: Experience designing HIPAA/GDPR-compliant systems—audit logging, secure data transmission, PKI, device authentication, and threat modeling for connected devices
- • Data / ML Platform (MLOps): Experience in data engineering or infrastructure support for data-science and ML teams, including data versioning and production model serving
- • Networking & Multi-Cloud: Secure overlay networks (Tailscale/WireGuard) and multi-account/multi-region network design, and experience with GCP or Azure alongside AWS
- • Diagnostic & Imaging Devices: Familiarity with diagnostic or imaging devices that have hardware in the loop, or similar physiological monitoring platforms (e.g., ECG)
