Hims & Hers is the leading health and wellness platform, on a mission to help the world feel great through the power of better health. We are redefining healthcare by putting the customer first and delivering access to care that is affordable, accessible, and personal, from diagnosis to treatment to delivery.
About the Role:
We're looking for a Senior Staff Platform Engineer to set technical direction for our platform, not just build within it. This is the most senior IC role on the team: you'll own architecture for our most consequential, cross-org infrastructure initiatives, and be the person other senior and staff engineers look to when a design decision needs to hold up across every team that depends on it.
You Will:
- Own group-critical platform initiatives: Take single-threaded ownership of multi-quarter, cross-org programs , service mesh adoption across independent clusters and business units, multi-region resilience strategy, and foundational platform initiatives. Align systems and abstractions to long-term organizational strategy.
- Set direction others build on: Define the architectural patterns, golden paths, and platform primitives (Istio mTLS/traffic policy, AI agent golden paths, MCP-backed service APIs) that other engineers implement against. Create shared components that improve delivery consistency across teams rather than one-off solutions per squad.
- Lead through hands-on technical excellence: Stay deeply engaged in the hardest parts of the systems you own , debugging production incidents at the mesh layer, hardening migration tooling, resolving cross-team architectural conflicts , earning credibility through visible, high-quality technical work rather than through title alone.
- Drive execution across organizational boundaries: Coordinate rollouts that depend on multiple engineering orgs contributing resources on a schedule. Anticipate systemic blockers and resolve them before they stall the program.
- Own testing infrastructure strategy end-to-end: Serve as DRI for how engineering teams validate changes before production, spanning iteration environments, pre-prod confidence gates, and multi-service validation for cross-service changes.
- Mentor Staff and Senior engineers: Coach engineers below you on system design, migration strategy, and how to navigate ambiguity in cross-team initiatives. Raise the technical bar of the org by example, not just by review.
- Drive org-wide reduction of technical debt and cost: Lead large-scale infrastructure consolidations and migrations end-to-end, with the rollout discipline, cost modeling, and stakeholder communication that a multi-hundred-repo change demands.
- Establish the metrics that prove platform investment works: Define and drive adoption of the leading indicators , adoption rate, incident trends, cost trajectory, developer sentiment , that let leadership see platform work as a business asset, not overhead.
You Have:
- 12+ years in Platform, Infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles, including demonstrated ownership of at least one initiative that spanned multiple teams or business units.
- Deep, production-proven expertise in Kubernetes/EKS, service mesh (Istio strongly preferred), and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or similar) at meaningful scale.
- A track record of leading complex, multi-quarter technical programs from architecture through execution.
- Experience debugging and resolving production incidents in distributed, multi-hop systems.
- Proficiency in at least one of Go, Python, TypeScript, or Java.
- A demonstrated ability to influence without direct authority.
- Experience mentoring Staff-level engineers and shaping how a broader engineering org approaches system design.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with AI-native platform tooling.
- A track record of driving large-scale cost or infrastructure consolidation initiatives.
- Experience with multi-region or high-availability architecture.
- Comfortable authoring RFCs and leadership-facing technical proposals.
Our Benefits:
- Competitive salary & equity compensation for full-time roles
- Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and quarterly mental health days
- Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental & vision, and parental leave
- Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP)
- 401k benefits with employer matching contribution
- Offsite team retreats
