Staff Software Engineer (Infra)

On-Site • New York, NY, US

About Amigo Amigo builds AI agents for healthcare. For managed service customers, we are responsible for maintaining and uplifting agent performance, ensuring clinical safety and continuous improvement of patient outcomes.

Our agents operate autonomously within bounded clinical domains. Clear inclusions, exclusions, and handoff protocols. The scope of autonomous operation expands over time as we validate performance across patient populations.

Infrastructure owns the foundation: multi-region Kubernetes deployments, Databricks platform, voice/telephony systems, and the compliance posture required for healthcare (HIPAA, SOC 2). The work includes reliability engineering, security, and ensuring the platform scales without compromising safety.

Series A from leading investors. Clinical validation and evidence generation in partnership with leading academic medical institutions.

About This Role As a Staff Software Engineer (Infra) at Amigo, you'll own the technical direction of the infrastructure that powers our platform at global scale. You'll architect multi-region systems handling millions of conversations while maintaining the compliance posture required for healthcare.

You'll drive architecture decisions for Kubernetes deployments, Databricks platform, voice/telephony systems, and security infrastructure. You'll mentor engineers, shape technical culture, and ensure we maintain elite engineering standards as the team grows. Reliability and security are non-negotiable—the platform must scale without compromising safety.

What You'll Do

Own technical architecture for infrastructure across cloud platforms, Kubernetes, Databricks, and supporting systems
Drive engineering standards for reliability, security, observability, and incident response

What We're Looking For

7+ years of production infrastructure experience, with significant time at elite engineering organizations
Expert-level experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration at scale
Proven track record designing infrastructure that scales across multiple regions

Nice to have

Experience with healthcare infrastructure or HIPAA compliance at scale
Background with voice/telephony systems or real-time communication infrastructure
Experience with Databricks platform administration and optimization
Track record building and scaling infrastructure teams
Knowledge of specific regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR)
Experience with high-availability, mission-critical systems

Benefits Health & Wellness

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
Mental health support and wellness coaching
Flexible wellness stipend for fitness, therapy, or personal growth
Daily catered lunch and dinner

Growth & Development

Annual learning budget for courses, books, or conferences
Conference attendance budget for professional development
Development setup of your choice
Academic collaboration opportunities

Compensation Range: $220K - $260K

Teeming tracks opportunities at over 24,000 AI startups, then works with you to find (and land) the one you'll love.
