The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions-and get better outcomes.\nWe're a Series C startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, Signalfire, and IVP. Our U.S. based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.\nSolace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare-and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.\nRead more in our Bloomberg funding announcementhere.\nAbout the Role\nYou can’t help it: you see something that needs to be fixed, and you try to fix it. You want to pop open the hood, and see how it really works underneath. You don’t just want to get it going again, you want to improve it so that it doesn’t break in that particular way again.\nHere at Solace’s Platform Engineering team, we believe the best platform engineers are generalists. That in order to build reliable, resilient, and anti-fragile systems, you need to understand how systems fail, and how to fix them. We’re looking for new grads with the potential to become expert troubleshooters, and help us build our cloud infrastructure.\nThis is an in-person role for new college graduates in our Redwood City office, 3 days a week. Start date: July 2027.\nWhat you will do\nHelp product and data engineers with their tooling and the internal developer platform\n\nHelp monitor systems health and triage signals\n\nParticipate in troubleshooting and applying fixes for outages along with the entire platform engineering team. While we don’t expect you to run solo on-call, we do expect you to tag along when systems break.\n\nParticipate in postmortems, systems analysis and architectural review\n\nAsk questions\n\nWhat you bring to the table\nCuriosity about technologies, how they work, and how they work with people.\n\nA relentless drive to dig deep into the problem and form a picture of what’s going on.\n\nWillingness to learn from mistakes and failures.\n\nThinking sideways when obvious approaches are unsuitable.\n\nWhat you will learn\nGet very comfortable on the command line and navigating Linux systems.\n\nHow to gather information on broken systems, form hypotheses, test them, and implement fixes.\n\nHow to use various mental frameworks to understand and evaluate systems and architecture, and identify patterns, and anti-patterns.\n\nHow to build infrastructure with GCP, AWS, OpenTofu, and Kubernetes.\n\nSounds like you?\nMaybe you're already hosting something for a club or for your friends. Maybe you tried building a homelab, and the parts that broke taught you more than the parts that worked. Maybe you've shipped a class assignment and then found yourself more interested in what it was promising to everything around it - where it would fail, who would notice, what depended on it.\nGood infrastructure is like good plumbing. It works quietly, fails loudly. Come tell us about what you’ve built, and what you’ve learned along the way.\nApplicants must be based in the United States.\nUp for the Challenge?\nWe look forward to meeting you.\nFraudulent Recruitment Advisory: Solace Health will NEVER request bank details or offer employment without an interview.
