Job description
Key Responsibilities • Design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, ensuring scalability, security, and cost efficiency. • Containerize applications using Docker and orchestrate workloads at scale with Kubernetes (EKS preferred). • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable, and automated software delivery. • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi. • Set up robust monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, ELK, or Datadog. • Drive observability, incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous reliability improvements. • Harden infrastructure security: IAM, secrets management, network policies, vulnerability scanning, and compliance controls. • Collaborate with developers to optimize application performance, deployment workflows, and developer experience. • Automate operational tasks using scripting (Bash, Python, or Go) to eliminate toil. • Document architecture, runbooks, and operational best practices.
Must-Have Qualifications • 5+ years of professional experience as a DevOps Engineer, SRE, or in a similar infrastructure role. • AWS: Strong hands-on experience with core services (EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, RDS, EKS, Lambda, CloudWatch, Route 53). • Docker: Solid expertise in containerization, writing efficient Dockerfiles, and managing container lifecycles. • Kubernetes: Production experience deploying and operating clusters, including Helm, ingress, autoscaling, and troubleshooting. • CI/CD: Experience building pipelines with tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or ArgoCD. • Linux & Scripting: Strong Linux administration skills and proficiency in Bash, Python, or Go. • IaC: Practical experience with Terraform or equivalent infrastructure-as-code tooling. • Monitoring & Observability: Experience with metrics, logs, and traces in production environments.
Good-to-Have Qualifications • Founding DevOps Engineer experience: Prior experience as the first or founding DevOps hire at a startup, building infrastructure and DevOps culture from scratch. • Medical / Healthcare data systems: Exposure to medical data systems, healthcare platforms, or working with regulated data (HIPAA, HL7, FHIR, DICOM, or similar standards). • Compliance & Security: Familiarity with SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, or other compliance frameworks. • Service Mesh & Advanced K8s: Experience with Istio, Linkerd, or operators and custom controllers. • Multi-cloud or Hybrid: Exposure to GCP or Azure in addition to AWS. • Data & ML infra: Experience supporting data pipelines, model serving, or GPU workloads.
What We Look For • Strong ownership mindset and bias for action. • Pragmatic problem solver who balances speed, reliability, and cost. • Excellent communication and collaboration skills across engineering, product, and security. • Curiosity to learn new tools and a passion for automation and reliability.
Why Join Us • Opportunity to shape infrastructure and DevOps practices end to end. • Work on impactful, mission-driven problems in a fast-paced environment. • Modern tech stack, strong engineering culture, and high autonomy. • Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
