Co-Op Student Software Engineer, Platform

Summary

Function Health is building a comprehensive health platform. The Platform Engineering team develops infrastructure, abstractions, and guardrails that help engineers work faster, safer, and more autonomously. The Co-Op Student Software Engineer will contribute to observability, CI/CD, testing infrastructure, and platform standards.

Responsibilities

• **Observability & Developer Experience.** Make it easy for engineers to understand what's happening in production. Consolidate fragmented signals into unified, trustworthy views. Reduce the time from "something seems wrong" to "here's exactly what broke and why."
• **CI/CD & Deployment Infrastructure.** Make the path from commit to production faster and harder to break. Build deployment pipelines, pre-production safeguards, and rollout strategies that let teams ship with confidence at high velocity
• **Test Infrastructure.** Shorten feedback loops. Improve test speed, coverage tooling, and reliability so that the safe path and the fast path are the same path
• **Platform Primitives & Standards.** Codify org-wide best practices into defaults and abstractions that every service inherits. Auth, instrumentation, error handling: when these patterns are consistent, complexity stays flat as the team and product grow

Skills

• You already use LLMs as a daily tool to write, debug, and reason through problems
• You know how to steer a model toward useful output and when to stop prompting and start thinking
• Strong fundamentals in backend or frontend development
• Genuine curiosity about infrastructure, DevOps, and developer tooling
• Comfort working in cloud environments
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts, containerization, or observability tools
• A bias toward making things simpler, not just adding more
• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• GCP experience
