Through real-time market indices, gap analysis tools, and a proprietary rules engine, we have built a diversified data asset representing over $1.5B in insurance pricing exposure that does not exist anywhere else in the world.\nWe are now expanding a tactile, high-ownership Platform team responsible for the foundation everything else at Advocate runs on: our infrastructure, security, compliance, integrations, and internal tooling. The team operates with high standards under one mindset: identify the problem, solve it, and move on.\nThe bar is high, the feedback loop is tight, and your impact will be immediate. This is a rare opportunity to get in early and build something foundational in an industry overdue for change.\nTo learn more about Advocate, visit advocate.app.\nAbout the role.\nWe’re hiring a NYC based Platform Engineer to own the foundation that Advocate’s product and people build on.\nAdvocate runs on a growing surface of cloud infrastructure, integrations, internal tooling, and the security and compliance controls a regulated insurance data business demands. In this role, you will (1) own our infrastructure, security, and compliance posture as code, versioned and shipped through automated pipelines, (2) build and maintain the integrations and internal tooling that keep the platform and the company running, and (3) build the automation, including AI agents, that lets a lean team move far faster than its size suggests.\nYou will work directly with the platform lead as a technical right hand on infrastructure, security, and automation decisions.\nThis is not a reactive role. It is a forward-looking ownership position responsible for making sure our foundation scales with our ambition, and that everyone else ships faster because of it.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn our cloud infrastructure end-to-end, defining it as code (Terraform or similar) and shipping every change through automated, reviewable CI/CD pipelines.\nCodify security and compliance controls, from access management and secrets to logging and audit evidence, so our posture is continuously enforced rather than manually checked.\nRun our vulnerability management program across code, dependencies, containers, cloud resources, and devices, from scanning and triage to remediation within defined SLAs, with routine fixes increasingly handled by automation.\nBuild and maintain in-platform and out-of-platform integrations, from customer-facing data connections to the third-party systems the company runs on.\nDesign and deploy AI agents and automation that take on repetitive infrastructure, security, and operations work, with the guardrails, evals, and human review needed to trust them in production.\nOwn the IT asset lifecycle and tooling, including device provisioning, identity, SaaS access, and offboarding, automated wherever possible.\nBuild internal tooling that shortens the path from idea to production for the whole engineering team.\nWhat success looks like\n30 days: You understand our infrastructure, our security and compliance posture, and our integration landscape, including what still lives outside of code. You're shipping meaningful changes through our pipelines.\n90 days: You're independently owning areas end-to-end, bringing manually managed infrastructure and configuration into code, and you've shipped at least one agent or automation that removes recurring work from the team.\n6 months: You've become the person who sees gaps before they slow us down, whether that's an unmanaged resource, an unpatched vulnerability, a control that should be enforced automatically, or a workflow that's ready to hand to an agent. Most routine platform changes now start as reviewable pull requests.\nWhat we're looking for\n3-6 years of experience in platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles supporting production systems\nStrong hands-on experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent) and a GitOps mindset: if it isn't in the repo, it doesn't exist\nExperience building CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, policy checks, and human review gates\nSolid grasp of a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), networking, identity and access management, and secrets management\nAdvanced use of AI tools (Claude, Agents, etc), including building agent workflows, tool integrations (e.g. MCP), and evaluating their output\nSecurity-first mindset, hands-on vulnerability management experience (scanning, prioritization, remediation), and practical experience with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001\nProficiency in at least one general-purpose language (Python, TypeScript, or Go) for automation and tooling\nAbility to work with high autonomy in a small team\nNice to have\nExposure to insurance, financial services, or any regulated/data-dense industry\nExperience designing guardrails, evals, or policy-as-code (e.g. OPA) for automated or AI-driven changes\nExperience with compliance automation platforms (e.g. Vanta, Drata) and producing audit evidence\nExperience running IT and identity at a growing company: MDM, SSO/SCIM, and device and SaaS lifecycle\nPrior experience at an early-stage company or on a small team where you wore multiple hats\nInterest in agentic engineering and in rethinking how software teams build and operate products\nWhat we offer\nSalary Range: $140,000 - $200,000 USD\nEquity / Stock Options - granted in addition to base salary\nWFH Stipend\nHealth & wellness: standard health benefits\nLearning & development budget + team events\nMentorship from industry leaders (ex-Goldman Sachs, Shopify, Productboard, and more)","description_format":"text","description_chars":5744,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-06T18:27:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/advocate-technologies-platform-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/advocate-technologies-platform-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T10:18:21Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9105,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":670268},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=670268"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fadvocate-technologies-platform-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fadvocate-technologies-platform-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fadvocate-technologies-platform-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/advocate-technologies-platform-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fadvocate-technologies-platform-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3882007}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"advocatetech.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3882007},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
