We are a team of agentic builders who rely heavily on AI development practices to accelerate our ability to deliver value to our customers. We believe in extreme ownership and agency, where every engineer takes responsibility for working throughout the organization to land impact with customers. We're a close-knit team that enables high levels of autonomy by constantly communicating our intentions, sharing problems and learnings, and helping each other learn and grow.

As an Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll be directly interacting with other teams across Engineering and production. Through collaboration, you’ll help design, build, and operate the platform primitives—compute, networking, storage, CI/CD, and developer tooling—that power our applications end-to-end. You’ll drive reliability, security, and efficiency while enabling a great developer experience. You’ll also contribute to our strategic goals as we evolve our infrastructure and our practices to maximize our internal and customer impact.

Team Mission

Our Platform Team is the backbone that keeps product teams shipping quickly and safely. We deliver direct customer value through our cloud capabilities and security. We impact internal success through partnerships with application teams and enabling a great development experience.

• Scale cost-effectively: Optimize cluster utilization, autoscaling, and storage/networking to balance performance, reliability, and spend.

• Enable fast, safe delivery: Evolve CI/CD pipelines (build/test/release), and environment strategies (dev/stage/prod).
• AI: You instinctively build using agentic tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc) and are invested in pushing the boundaries of what is possible with agentic development

We foster an active culture of mentorship and inclusion, and we welcome new team members that share our values.

Our platform empowers medical technology companies to see how their products are used, understand why outcomes vary, and identify opportunities where physicians or sites of care can better serve their patients.

How We Work:

AcuityMD is a remote-first company. We believe the best talent isn't confined to one zip code, so our team works from wherever they do their best work, across the U.S.

We also believe some of our best work happens face-to-face. Critical projects move faster, our products get better, and our community gets stronger when we're in the same room, so we bring the team together throughout the year for company-wide and team on-sites built around that work.

In practice: expect 4-5 in-person opportunities a year through company/team on-sites and in-person collaboration for critical projects. If you're based near our Boston hub, there's no set requirement for how often you come into the office, that's your call, based on what works best for you and your team.
