Senior Fullstack Engineer - Product Platform Engineering at Pivotal Health | LAYIQ

Own platform components end to end: Design, build, and operate services, libraries, and schemas within the platform, from design through production, with clear ownership of their reliability and evolution.
Design for extension and reuse: Build composable abstractions and well-defined interfaces so product teams can extend the platform without forking it or waiting on you.
Design scalable, reliable system interactions: Contribute to the design of system interactions and data flows, making architectural decisions that balance scalability, reliability, security, and performance as the platform evolves.
Improve reliability and operational signal: Build and evolve monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and testing pipelines that surface meaningful signal rather than noise.
Reduce toil: Identify repeating patterns across teams and make them composable through better abstractions or new tooling, including AI-assisted tooling where it helps.
Partner with product teams: Work as an embedded partner to feature teams, unblock delivery, and make sure platform decisions reflect what those teams actually need.
Who You Are
5+ years of experience in fullstack, backend or platform software engineering
Strong software engineering foundation with solid coding skills; Python preferred
Hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native systems; GCP preferred
Experience with relational databases and data modeling, including schema evolution in production
Familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub, Kinesis, or similar)
Range to move between domains such as authorization, messaging infrastructure, and data pipelines without needing each to be familiar first
Strong product instincts: you judge a system by whether it is useful and correct, and elegance comes second
You want to know why a customer cares before you build, and you go find out: from product, from support, from the customer directly
Self-directed and proactive: you identify problems and drive them to resolution without heavy oversight
Comfortable in greenfield environments with evolving requirements and ambiguous ownership
Low-ego and collaborative by default: direct, open to feedback, and more interested in shipping great work than in being right
Extra Credit Experience
Identity and access systems (OIDC, SAML, SSO, sessions) or authorization models such as RBAC
Transactional email or messaging infrastructure, including deliverability and bounce handling
Data ingestion pipelines, or the tooling that moves ML models from experiment to production
Internal libraries, SDKs, or developer tooling that other teams adopted
Automation or AI-assisted tooling that reduced operational toil
TypeScript and React, enough to work across the products the platform serves
Startup or early-stage experience where engineers own outcomes rather than tickets
FinTech, HealthTech, or other regulated industries
Why You’ll Love Working Here
We’re a collaborative, low-ego team on a mission to make healthcare reimbursement fairer for providers. While we primarily hire around our core hubs–Los Angeles and New York–we remain open to exceptional talent outside those regions. Remote and hybrid flexibility varies by role and team, and is outlined in each job description.
If you’re excited by solving complex problems and making a real-world impact, we’d love to hear from you.
