Our Mission Culture At Xealth, we’re revolutionizing healthcare by leveraging data and automation to empower care providers—building on EHRs such as Epic and Cerner—to seamlessly prescribe, deliver, and monitor digital health for patients. We are a detail-oriented team committed to maintaining high standards while moving with agility and impact. We are a highly skilled, collaborative, and passionate group, applying our expertise to improve health outcomes for millions.

We believe in shared ownership and are looking for a team player who is a self-starter and self-driven to pioneer the next generation of intelligent, automated cloud infrastructure. The Role We're looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to take full ownership of our AWS EKS Kubernetes platform and the open source ecosystem that powers it. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role — you'll be the go-to expert for cluster reliability, observability, GitOps automation, and infrastructure-as-code.

You'll work closely with our engineering teams to ensure our platform is resilient, secure, and continuously improving. This isn't a ticket-queue operations role. We want someone who thinks architecturally, automates relentlessly, and raises the bar for how we build and run infrastructure.

What We'Re Looking For

Required 5–8 years of hands-on systems/platform engineering experience Deep Kubernetes expertise — you can reason about scheduling, networking, storage, RBAC, and cluster internals without reaching for the docs Production experience running workloads on AWS EKS Strong Linux fundamentals — systemd, networking, kernel tuning, troubleshooting under pressure Proficiency with Terraform for AWS infrastructure management Hands-on experience with ArgoCD or Flux in a production GitOps workflow Experience building and operating Prometheus/Grafana observability stacks Working knowledge of OpenTelemetry — collectors, instrumentation libraries, pipeline configuration Programming and scripting experience with Python,Typescript, Bash Comfort operating in a regulated environment (HIPAA, SOC 2, or similar)

Nice To Have

Experience with service mesh (Linkerd, Istio, or similar) Familiarity with Kafka in a Kubernetes context Secrets management experience (AWS Secrets Manager, or External Secrets Operator) Prior work at a healthcare or health-tech company Contributions to open source projects How We Work Hybrid in Seattle — we value in-person collaboration and flexibility in equal measure Infrastructure managed as code — if it's not in Git, it doesn't exist On-call expectations are reasonable and shared across the team You'll have real autonomy over architectural decisions, not just implementation work Why join Xealth?
