SUMMARY
Our product platform team builds the common infrastructure and shared service capabilities that underpin every Bamboo Health product line. As a Cloud Engineer on the platform team, you will contribute to the design, delivery, and operation of the foundational cloud systems that power Bamboo Health at scale.
This is a great opportunity for an early-career engineer who is eager to learn cloud technologies in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment. You will work closely with senior engineers and architects, take on real ownership of platform components, and grow your skills across infrastructure, automation, reliability, and security.
The ideal candidate is curious, collaborative, and motivated to build systems that matter. You don't need to have all the answers — you need to be eager to learn, ask good questions, and grow into the role.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Build, maintain, and improve cloud infrastructure components on AWS, working from defined requirements and under the guidance of senior engineers.
- Write and update infrastructure as code (Terraform or CFN) to provision and manage cloud resources reliably and repeatably.
- Monitor platform health, investigate alerts, and participate in incident response and on-call rotations.
- Support CI/CD pipeline development and maintenance to improve developer experience and deployment reliability.
- Contribute to documentation for platform services, runbooks, and architecture decisions.
- Participate in code and design reviews, giving and receiving constructive feedback as part of the team's development culture.
- Collaborate with product engineering teams to help them understand and use platform services effectively.
- Identify and surface technical issues, bugs, or improvement opportunities — you don't need to solve everything alone, but you should speak up when something's not right.
- Explore opportunities to enhance workflows through AI or automation tools (e.g., document summarization, task routing, or data parsing).
- Identify repetitive tasks and partner with team leads to implement scalable automation solutions.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE…
In 3 months…
- Understand the core components of Bamboo Health's cloud platform, how they fit together, and the team's development and deployment processes.
- Have shipped at least one meaningful contribution — a bug fix, infrastructure improvement, or documentation update — with support from your team.
- Be actively participating in team meetings, code reviews, and pair programming sessions.
- Begin incorporating AI-supported tools into your day-to-day work—whether through analysis, documentation, or task management.
In 6 months…
- Independently pick up and deliver well-scoped tasks with minimal supervision.
- Have a working understanding of the AWS services most critical to the platform (EKS/ECS, RDS, S3, IAM, and related services).
- Contribute to on-call rotations and be able to triage and escalate incidents confidently.
In 12 months…
- Own one or more platform components end-to-end — from changes to production monitoring.
- Be a reliable, contributing member of the team who others turn to for help on the areas you've learned.
- Be actively working toward P2 readiness with a clear development plan co-created with your manager.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- A mission-driven focus with a genuine interest in using technology to improve healthcare outcomes.
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent work experience.
- Some hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) — whether through internships, personal projects, coursework, or early professional roles.
- Familiarity with at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, or similar).
- Basic understanding of networking, compute, and storage concepts in a cloud context.
- Familiarity with version control (Git) and working in a collaborative development environment.
- Strong communication skills and a willingness to ask for help, share what you're learning, and work through problems with your team.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a growth mindset — you're here to learn and you take feedback well.
- Exposure to infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, or similar).
- Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) even at a basic level.
- Familiarity with CI/CD concepts or tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CodePipeline, or similar).
- Exposure to healthcare technology, HL7/FHIR, or working with sensitive regulated data.
- AWS certifications (Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect Associate, or similar).
- Comfort using or learning AI-supported tools (e.g., ChatGPT, CoPilot, or role-specific tools) to improve daily workflows.
- A forward-thinking, curious mindset with an openness to experimenting with new technologies.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with sound judgment and creativity in designing solutions.
- Proven ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-growth, and rapidly evolving environments.
- Ability to work effectively in a remote-first environment, ensuring high-quality virtual interactions with minimal distractions.
- The ability to travel periodically for work.
WHAT YOU GET:
- Join one of the most innovative healthcare technology companies in the country.
- Have the autonomy to build something with an enthusiastically supportive team.
- Learn from working at the highest levels and on the most strategic priorities of the company, including from world class investors and advisors.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Cloud Engineer
Verify your CIP code matches cloud engineering
Check your degree's CIP code against the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List before applying. Degrees in computer science, computer engineering, and information systems typically qualify, but applied computing or IT management programs sometimes fall outside the list.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Ask your recruiter for the employer's E-Verify Company ID number and cross-check it through the E-Verify employer search before signing anything. A company that isn't enrolled can't legally employ you on STEM OPT, even if they're otherwise enthusiastic about hiring you.
Align your I-983 goals to cloud certification tracks
When drafting your I-983 training plan, map your learning objectives to specific cloud certifications like AWS Solutions Architect or Google Cloud Professional. USCIS reviewers look for measurable, role-specific goals, not vague references to gaining technical experience.
Target employers with active STEM OPT infrastructure
Use Migrate Mate to filter Cloud Engineer roles by employers with verified E-Verify enrollment and a history of hiring OPT students. This cuts the research time on employer eligibility and surfaces openings at companies already familiar with the I-983 process.
Time your H-1B registration to your OPT end date
If your STEM OPT expires before October 1 of your cap-gap year, the cap-gap rule extends your work authorization automatically once USCIS receives your H-1B visa petition. File as early in the registration window as possible to maximize that buffer.
Use the OFLC Wage Search to negotiate cloud role pay
Look up the prevailing wage for your specific cloud engineering role and metro area using the OFLC Wage Search before your offer call. The DOL wage level your employer files at is public record, and knowing it in advance strengthens your negotiating position.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my degree qualify me for the STEM OPT extension as a Cloud Engineer?
Your degree qualifies if it appears on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List, which covers fields like computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, and information science. Cloud Engineering roles are classified under SOC codes tied to software development and systems architecture, so most STEM graduates working in cloud infrastructure meet the degree-to-role alignment requirement. Check your degree's CIP code against the current DHS list to confirm before your DSO submits the I-20 recommendation.
What E-Verify requirement applies to Cloud Engineer employers on STEM OPT?
Your employer must be actively enrolled in E-Verify before your STEM OPT extension start date. Enrollment after the fact doesn't satisfy the requirement. You can verify enrollment status through the E-Verify employer search using the company's legal name or EIN. If a company operates through a staffing agency or professional employer organization, the E-Verify enrollment must belong to the entity that signs your I-983, not a parent or affiliated company.
How do I write an I-983 training plan for a Cloud Engineer role?
Your I-983 must identify specific cloud engineering skills you'll develop, the projects or systems you'll work on, and how your employer will supervise and evaluate your progress. Generic language like 'gaining experience in cloud technologies' won't pass scrutiny. Tie each learning objective to concrete deliverables, such as designing a multi-region deployment pipeline or completing an AWS or Azure architecture project, and include a supervisor name with reporting frequency. USCIS can request the I-983 during an inspection, so specificity matters.
What happens to my STEM OPT if I change Cloud Engineer employers?
You can switch employers during your STEM OPT period, but the new employer must also be enrolled in E-Verify, and you must submit a new I-983 training plan signed by both you and the new employer within ten days of starting. Your DSO needs to update your SEVIS record to reflect the change. You cannot start work with the new employer until the I-983 is submitted, so plan the transition timeline carefully to avoid an unauthorized employment gap.
Where can I find Cloud Engineer jobs that already support STEM OPT hiring?
Migrate Mate surfaces Cloud Engineer roles at employers with confirmed E-Verify enrollment, so you're not spending time vetting companies that can't legally hire you on STEM OPT. Roles on the platform are filtered for the specific requirements your extension depends on, which matters when your job search timeline is tied to an OPT end date and you can't afford to lose weeks on employers who haven't set up the required E-Verify infrastructure.
