About The Position

ZipStaff is seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer to design, build, and run cloud-hosted platforms for a digital health SaaS organization. You will own Helm charts, containers, IaC, and CI/CD for multi-cloud SaaS—not a ticket-only ops seat. Python/Go/TypeScript APIs, Kubernetes/OpenShift, AWS CDK/Lambda/ECS, and Terraform are in scope.

Requirements

7+ years cloud development or infrastructure engineering.
SaaS and multi-cloud delivery.
Docker plus Kubernetes and/or OpenShift.
Helm charts you have written and maintained.
APIs (REST or GraphQL) in Python and/or TypeScript.
CI/CD: GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps.
Terraform for non-trivial environments.
AWS and/or Azure (Boto3 and AWS CDK preferred).
Monitoring/logging: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Elasticsearch/Loki.
Bachelor’s in CS/SWE or equivalent.
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Nice To Haves

GitOps.
OpenShift.
Healthcare / digital health SaaS.
HashiCorp stack beyond Terraform.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain cloud-native REST APIs in Python, Go, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
Build and harden Docker images (security, cost, deployability).
Author and version Helm charts for Kubernetes / OpenShift (values, upgrades, rollback).
Build and improve CI/CD (deploy, test, monitor, roll back).
Monitor performance and scale; fix bottlenecks (caching, concurrency, HPA, resource limits).
Build serverless SaaS pieces with AWS CDK, Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/Fargate.
Use readiness/liveness probes, resource requests/limits, and namespace isolation.
Manage in-cluster PostgreSQL, Kafka, Grafana, and Elasticsearch via Helm or Operators.
Partner with security and infrastructure on logging, monitoring, and audit.
Troubleshoot prod/staging; document architecture and deploy procedures.
