About The Position

At IT Labs, we are looking for a hands-on Senior Azure Cloud DevOps Engineer to support one of the most innovative companies in the digital health space. Our client is transforming the way healthcare is delivered, paid for, and experienced. They operate a technology-driven platform that connects employers and patients with top-tier medical providers through a Centers of Excellence model — helping eliminate surprise bills, reduce costs, and improve patient outcomes at scale. Their platform is backed by significant venture funding, has been validated by independent research institutions, and is recognized as a case study in top-tier business education. They serve a large portion of the US population and continue to grow their reach across the country. In this role, you will be the bridge between development and operations — leading infrastructure projects end-to-end, from problem definition and technical design through implementation, rollout, documentation, and operational ownership. You will play a key role in modernizing cloud architecture and building a scalable, compliant Azure foundation to support future enterprise growth. This role is best suited for someone who takes ownership, writes great documentation, thrives in collaborative cross-functional environments, and is as motivated by identifying problems as by solving them.
