Staff Software Engineer (Platform Engineering)
Pivotal Health, Santa Monica, CA +2
The role
The product platform is the layer other product teams build on. Today that means identity and access, including customer SSO, invitations, and sessions; the organization and tenancy model; the shared services, APIs, and schemas that carry customer data between products; and the developer experience, including the tooling and agent workflows engineers use to ship. The scope grows whenever product teams need a capability that should be built once.
Role-based access control, email infrastructure, the production path for the models our products depend on, and likely data ingress are next in line. When this layer is right, product teams move faster and customers have a better experience.
This is a high-ownership, high-autonomy role on a team that is still defining itself. You'll have a direct say in how the platform, and the team, approach hard problems. We are still working out architecture, ownership boundaries, and integration patterns, so the right person operates without a playbook and brings strong technical judgment to ambiguous problems. You'll be a hands-on technical leader. You'll write production code, lead design reviews, and set the standards other engineers build to.
