Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Virta Health is pioneering a new standard of care for people to reclaim their lives. We are in the midst of a public health crisis: obesity rates are at an all-time high and over half of US adults have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and despite billions spent on new treatments, outcomes are largely worse. Virta reverses these diseases and  delivers life-changing results by pairing individualized nutrition with ongoing care from a clinical support team. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. 

Virta is rapidly growing and investing heavily in our GCP-based Kubernetes infrastructure. This role offers the opportunity to optimize our multi-cluster Kubernetes deployment, implement cutting-edge cloud infrastructure automation, and enhance security and performance. If you are passionate about cloud infrastructure, automation, and platform engineering, join us to help scale our business and ensure continuous access to our life-changing treatment.
