Altruist Benefits Overview

Own platform reliability, performance, observability, and resilience for scalable backend systems. Mentor engineering teams on secure, performant coding practices; establish OpenTelemetry observability and service-level objectives; design and improve incident response processes; and implement automated testing. Collaborate with engineering leaders, product managers, and cross-functional teams on shared infrastructure and challenging technical solutions. The role also contributes to cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, tabletop exercises, and modern distributed systems across the organization.

Build and improve resilient, scalable backend systems as part of the Platform team. Responsibilities include implementing observability with OpenTelemetry, defining SLOs, owning incident response processes and follow-ups, mentoring teams on secure and reliable coding, and applying automated testing. The role involves working with Java, Spring Boot, microservices, distributed systems, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD while collaborating with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams.

Design, build, and scale resilient RESTful backend services and shared platform tooling using Java, Spring Boot, Postgres, AWS, and Kubernetes. Develop distributed microservice architectures, implement automated testing, promote secure coding practices, and mentor engineering teams. Collaborate with engineering leadership, product managers, and cross-functional partners while independently delivering high-impact platform solutions.
