We value diversity — in backgrounds and in experiences. Healthcare is a universal concern, and we need people from all backgrounds and swaths of life to help build the future of healthcare. Clover's engineering team is empathetic, caring, and supportive. We are deliberate and self-reflective about the engineering team and culture that we are building, looking for engineers that are not only strong in their own aptitudes but care deeply about supporting each other's growth.

We are looking for someone who is experienced in site reliability and infrastructure to join our engineering team. You will be supporting Clover’s existing Technology Infrastructure that includes reviewing/improving our processes, helping develop new automation tools to manage and remove toils and troubleshoot issues as they arise. You will partner with technical leads in other engineering disciplines, as well as data scientists, and technology professionals to develop and maintain a modern, scalable infrastructure platform that hosts domestic and international work loads with a variety of compute, storage, and networking needs. We're looking for someone with prior experience deploying and maintaining containerized infrastructure and workloads. Kubernetes competency is highly valued.

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you will:

You will love this job if:

  • You enjoy working in a fluid, collaborative environment, defining and taking ownership of priorities that add to our larger goals. You can bring clarity to ambiguity while remaining open-minded to new information that might change your mind.
  • You are not hesitant to jump in to help fix things that are broken and you get a sense of accomplishment from making sustainable systems. You are happy to fill in the gaps to reach a goal where necessary, even if it does not always fit your job description.
  • You want to be part of building a team that emphasizes deliveryreliability and security.
  • You have a genuine interest in what good technology can do to help people and take pride in tackling hard problems in an important industry.
