About The Position

Xealth is revolutionizing healthcare by leveraging data and automation to empower care providers. We are seeking an engineer passionate about building reliable, secure cloud infrastructure and eager to grow their skills across DevOps, security, and automation. This role involves working closely with senior engineers and the InfoSec team to build, maintain, and improve our cloud platform, with opportunities for ownership and mentorship from day one. The ideal candidate thrives on learning, values collaboration, and wants their work to improve health outcomes.

Requirements

AWS Foundations: Hands-on experience with core services including VPC, EC2, ECS, IAM, S3, and SQS.
Infrastructure as Code: Working knowledge of Terraform; comfortable following and contributing to established module patterns.
Scripting & Automation: Proficiency in Python or NodeJS for writing clean, maintainable automation scripts.
Networking Basics: Solid understanding of VPC design, TLS/HTTPS, and network security fundamentals.
Security Tooling: Some exposure to SAST, DAST, or CSPM tools (e.g., Semgrep, Checkov, OWASP ZAP, Lacework, or CrowdStrike).
Observability: Familiarity with logging and monitoring concepts.

Nice To Haves

EKS experience is a plus.
Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, or similar stacks is a plus.
Exposure to HIPAA, SOC2, or PCI-DSS compliance practices.
Basic experience operating or deploying workloads in Kubernetes (EKS preferred).
Awareness of pull-based deployment patterns (ArgoCD or Flux).
AWS Solutions Architect Associate, AWS Developer Associate, or equivalent cloud certifications.
Hands-on experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar tools.

Responsibilities

Support the InfoSec team in running and triaging security scans using tools like Semgrep, Checkov, Lacework, or OWASP ZAP.
Develop familiarity with HIPAA and SOC2 compliance requirements and apply them to infrastructure work.
Participate in security reviews and help maintain a security-first development culture.
Support integration of ongoing BurpSuite testing.
Contribute to and maintain our AWS infrastructure using Terraform, following established patterns for modularity and reusability.
Help implement self-scaling and self-healing configurations under the guidance of senior engineers.
Support VPC, EC2, ECS, EKS, IAM, S3, and SQS environments in a production HIPAA-regulated context.
Own and improve automation scripts and pipelines using Python or NodeJS, targeting manual toil reduction across the CI/CD lifecycle.
Assist in integrating security tooling (SAST/DAST/CSPM) into delivery pipelines without blocking developer velocity.
Identify repetitive manual tasks and propose or implement automation solutions.
Monitor infrastructure health using logging and metrics tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, LGTM stack) and respond to alerts.
Participate in on-call rotations with senior engineers and contribute to blameless post-mortems.
Help document root causes and implement lasting fixes, not just quick patches.
Leverage AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude) to accelerate IaC authoring, documentation, and code review.
Experiment with prompt-driven approaches including Gemini Enterprise to infrastructure tasks and share learnings with the team.
Work with agentic operations/agentic engineering tools.
