We are seeking a proactive Senior Platform Engineer to join our Developer Enablement Team within the engineering division at Propel. This position plays a crucial role in empowering fellow engineers by enhancing our cloud-native platforms, which facilitate the development and delivery of Propel's technology. These platforms are instrumental for various products and applications, including those that interact with government programs, highlight savings opportunities, enroll users in healthcare plans, and support internal tools and architecture.

- A people-first management approach that values engineers' input, supports career growth, and provides opportunities for technical advancement tailored to your interests.
- Meaningful work aligned with a strong, shared mission.

We welcome applications from candidates in states where we have established entities, including California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
