Platform Engineer - Observability

Job Summary

Evolent is transforming how it builds and operates infrastructure under a refreshed Platform Engineering & Operations operating model, grounded in four principles: Architecture First, Automation by Default, Reliability is a Shared Responsibility, and Golden Paths Over Custom Solutions. You will turn approved designs into provisioned, automated, and documented platforms, and you will do it transparently, through formal handoffs, Office Hours reviews, and documentation your peers can actually rely on.

Agentic AI

Platform Engineering is moving toward agentic AI as a standard part of how the organization works. As agentic AI transforms the way we work, we expect our engineers to be at the forefront of that change, designing and building intelligent solutions rather than simply consuming them. This builder mentality is a core attribute we assess from the first conversation.

What You'll Be Doing

• Provision and change infrastructure exclusively as code, so that every environment is reproducible, reviewable, and free of manual drift.
• Reverse engineer the applications and infrastructure you inherit: trace dependencies, integrations, and data flows end to end until you can explain how a system actually works.
• Design and build agentic AI solutions for platform, delivery, and operations work: identify the toil worth automating, then build, evaluate, and harden the agent that removes it.
• Build security and compliance into the delivery path: least-privilege access, secrets handling, policy-as-code guardrails, and audit evidence produced by design rather than assembled under deadline.
• Engineer and manage observability solutions using OpenTelemetry to monitor and trace application performance.
• Deploy and manage containerization solutions using platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes, with a strong focus on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Container Apps (ACA).
• Monitor container health and performance, troubleshoot issues, and implement lasting remediation.
• Participate in Root Cause Analysis and address the actual root cause, so the same problem does not recur.

Hiring Process

To ensure a secure hiring process we have implemented several identity verification steps, including submission of a government issued photo ID. We conduct identity verification during interviews, and final interviews may require onsite attendance. All candidates must complete a comprehensive background check, in-person I-9 verification, and may be subject to drug screening prior to employment. The use of artificial intelligence tools during interviews is prohibited and monitored. Misrepresentation will result in immediate disqualification from consideration.

Mandatory Requirements

• Employees must have a high-speed broadband internet connection with a minimum speed of 50 Mbps and the ability to set up a wired connection to their home network to ensure effective remote work. These requirements may be updated as needed by the business.
