Senior Platform Engineer

Overview

Staff Platform Engineer at Lingo, Abbott's biosensing technology team, responsible for hands-on platform engineering on Azure while allocating day-to-day work to and developing two direct reports at the India location.

What you'll do

• Own the day-to-day work allocation for your team, ensuring engineers have well-scoped, meaningful work that matches their skills and develops their capabilities.
• Support your team through technical challenges, unblocking complex problems and guiding engineers toward solutions rather than solving everything yourself.
• Build, provision, and maintain Lingo's cloud infrastructure on Azure, taking ownership of technically complex or high-risk platform work alongside your team.
• Own and evolve key areas of Lingo's infrastructure-as-code foundation using Terraform or Bicep, including module design, standards, and code review for your team's contributions.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipeline architecture for Lingo's engineering teams, defining deployment patterns, environment promotion gates, and release automation standards that your team implements and operates.
• Lead from the front on SRE practices, contributing to SLO and SLI definitions, designing alerting and monitoring configurations, and driving post-incident reviews that generate real engineering improvements.
• Build and maintain observability tooling across Lingo's production environment, covering distributed tracing, log pipelines, and metrics collection, ensuring engineering teams have the visibility they need.
• Partner with product and feature engineering teams to support their deployment needs, onboard them to platform tooling, and reduce friction in the path from development to production.
• Contribute to architecture and design discussions with the Platform Engineer Lead and Senior Manager, providing practical input grounded in your day-to-day operational experience.
• Document infrastructure, runbooks, and operational processes in a way that supports knowledge sharing across Lingo's globally distributed engineering team spanning the US, Spain, and India.
• Identify process, tooling, and reliability improvements within your team's domain and drive them to completion with appropriate prioritization and stakeholder communication.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering with hands-on work in a production environment.
• Strong hands-on Azure expertise, with production experience across Azure compute, networking, storage, identity, and security services.
• Solid infrastructure-as-code skills with Terraform, Bicep, or equivalent, including designing and reviewing reusable modules in a team environment.
• Proven experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or equivalent, including deployment automation and environment promotion.
• Working understanding of SRE principles including SLOs, SLIs, alerting strategies, on-call practices, and incident response and post-incident review workflows.
• Experience with observability tooling for monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing in a cloud-native environment.
• Experience implementing cloud security controls including identity and access management, network security configurations, and secrets management.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across a globally distributed engineering team spanning multiple time zones.

Nice to have

• Experience with Azure-native services such as Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure DevOps, Azure Monitor, Azure Policy, and Azure Security Center in a production context.
• Experience supporting IoT, biosensor, or real-time consumer health data platforms where data reliability and low-latency processing are critical.
• Familiarity with AIOps tooling and AI-driven observability practices, including anomaly detection and automated alerting.
• Background in MLOps infrastructure, including model serving, feature stores, and pipeline orchestration on cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with cloud security and compliance frameworks including HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI in an engineering context.
• Prior experience in a consumer technology company or high-growth digital health environment.
