Junior Platform Engineer
Build something monumental for Healthcare!
At Tandem Health we’re reimagining healthcare by putting clinicians first. Our platform - designed by clinicians, for clinicians - is built on deep insight into real-world pain points, with intuitive medical notes and workflows that truly support patient care.
We’re a fast-scaling health-tech company backed by top investors and expanding globally. We move fast, stay curious, and believe building something that matters starts with an extraordinary team. If you're passionate about impact and innovation, we'd love to meet you!
About the Role
You enjoy making systems work, not just writing code, but understanding how everything fits together underneath. You’ve probably spent time tinkering on your own, setting up servers, hosting things yourself, or trying to understand how infrastructure actually behaves in the real world.
At Tandem, you’ll join a small, highly skilled platform team and help build the infrastructure that powers the future of European healthcare. You don’t need to know everything from day one - what matters most is your drive to learn, your curiosity, and your willingness to get your hands dirty.
This role is focused on infrastructure first. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers, gradually taking ownership of parts of our platform and helping the team move faster by offloading and improving core infrastructure work. Along the way, you’ll learn how to build systems that are reliable, secure, and scalable in a highly regulated environment.
If you’re someone who enjoys figuring things out, breaking and fixing systems, and continuously improving how things run - this is a great place to grow.
What You Will Do
Support the team in building and maintaining cloud infrastructure that powers Tandem’s products.
Work with Kubernetes-based systems and help improve how services are deployed and operated.
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, making deployments smoother and more reliable.
Assist in implementing infrastructure-as-code using tools like Terraform and Helm.
Help improve observability, monitoring, and alerting across our systems.
Take ownership of smaller infrastructure components over time and help scale them.
Work closely with senior engineers to learn best practices around reliability, security, and performance.
What You Bring
Some experience working with cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
Familiarity with Kubernetes, CI/CD, or infrastructure tooling - even if not at an expert level.
Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Helm.
Basic programming skills - enough to script, automate, and understand systems.
A strong curiosity for how systems work under the hood.
A mindset of learning and improvement - you’re eager to develop your skills quickly.
Interest in building reliable systems that help others move faster.
Bonus Points
You’ve built or run your own infrastructure projects (e.g. self-hosting, home labs, media servers, etc.)
Experience working with slightly larger systems or production environments
Familiarity with networking, security, or observability concepts
Experience with Kubernetes packaging (e.g. Helm charts)
Background in software engineering or scripting-heavy roles
