We automate paperwork with AI, helping our customers get life-saving innovations to patients years faster. Collate is an end-to-end solution, powering every step of drug, diagnostic, and medical device development-from concept to market.\nOur CEO Surbhi Sarna is a former General Partner at Y Combinator. Surbhi founded nVision Medical, which developed a new method to detect ovarian cancer and was acquired by Boston Scientific. Our CTO Nate Smith is a former Visiting Partner at Y Combinator and founder of Lever. Our AI researchers, engineers, and designers have worked at Google, Nvidia, Meta, Netflix, Amazon, AirBnB, Hippocratic AI, and Grail, and 40% of our team are former founders.\nWe’re an elite team, with $125M in funding from top investors (Redpoint, First Round Capital, CRV, Conviction, Y Combinator) and leaders in healthcare and AI. This is a rare chance to join an early-stage company with world-changing potential, experienced founders, and resources to execute at scale.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re looking for a DevOps / Systems Engineer to own the infrastructure that powers Collate’s products. You’ll build the systems and tooling that keep our platform reliable, secure, and fast as we scale.\nThis role is broad by design - from managing CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure to handling light security responsibilities like certificate management. You’ll partner closely with backend, AI, and product engineers to ensure our systems are both easy to develop on and safe to deploy at scale.\nAt Collate, infrastructure isn’t just about uptime - it’s about trust. The work you do will help ensure that the AI we build for healthcare runs with reliability and security in mind.\nModern Tech Stack\nCollate uses a modern tech stack, targeting a highly reliable and available platform. We use Go for scalable backend services, Postgres as our main database, TypeScript & React for frontend development, and Python for AI & ML services.\nOur infrastructure is hosted on AWS with Kubernetes for orchestration and Terraform + Argo CD for configuration management. Other key systems include S3, Kafka, OpenSearch, LLMs, and other AI models.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign and maintain cloud infrastructure to support Collate’s products as we grow from prototypes to production scale.\nDevelop CI/CD pipelines and automation that accelerate developer velocity and reduce operational friction.\nManage core system reliability, including monitoring, logging, and incident response.\nTake on light security responsibilities, such as handling certificates, secrets management, and supporting compliance needs.\nCollaborate closely with engineering teams to design infrastructure that balances speed, safety, and scale.\nContinuously improve internal tooling and workflows, helping the team move faster with confidence.\nLeverage tooling including AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, Grafana, and Github Actions.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nHands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar) and modern DevOps practices.\nProficiency with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD tooling.\nFamiliarity with monitoring, observability, and incident management.\nInterest or experience in light security work, including certificates, secrets management, or compliance support.\nA pragmatic approach: able to balance iteration speed with building for long-term reliability.\nMotivation to work in an early-stage startup where your infrastructure decisions shape the foundation of the company.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3559,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Document AI","Clinical Trial Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T06:42:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.127,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":410,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/collate-devops-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/collate-devops-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T12:39:53Z","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":19556,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"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":673486},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673486"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcollate-devops-systems-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%2Fcollate-devops-systems-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%2Fcollate-devops-systems-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/collate-devops-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcollate-devops-systems-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":718656}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"collate.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":718656},"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.
