- Experience with configuration management systems such as SaltStack or Ansible.
- Security-first mindset and experience integrating security tooling into development and deployment cycles.
- Excellent troubleshooting and communication skills, including the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Comfort working with ambiguity in a fast-paced, evolving environment; treats systems as production-grade from day one; raises risks early; learns continuously and welcomes feedback; collaborates across teams with shared ownership; and works to avoid repeating mistakes.
Nice To Haves
- Experience operating in regulated environments such as FedRAMP, HIPAA, or SOC 2, and familiarity with the implications for infrastructure design.
- Experience with FinOps practices and cost governance programs.
- AWS Solutions Architect Associate or Professional certification.
- Healthcare technology or digital health platform experience.
- Experience using AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, or Cursor in daily engineering work.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain AWS and Azure infrastructure across a multi-account, multi-region environment supporting multiple product lines.
- Build and maintain reusable, auditable Infrastructure as Code modules.
- Design and implement cross-account IAM patterns, including assume-role trust policies, least-privilege enforcement, and SCP/tagging governance.
- Contribute to capability, scalability, and cost-efficiency planning for current and forecasted infrastructure needs.
- Build, maintain, and evolve CI/CD pipelines for automated, secure, and reproducible IaC deployments.
- Develop custom automation and scripting to reduce manual work and enforce operational standards.
- Operationalize solutions from proof of concept through production, emphasizing repeatability and maintainability.
- Monitor, scale, and maintain production resources, prioritizing availability, performance, and security.
- Participate in the on-call rotation, troubleshoot production issues, drive root cause analysis, and contribute to incident retrospectives.
- Establish and maintain observability practices and tooling, including metrics, dashboards, and alerting.
- Maintain and strengthen security controls in accordance with HealthEdge's FedRAMP and HIPAA obligations.
- Build automated security checks into CI/CD pipelines and cloud environments.
- Partner with SecOps on IAM role design, trust policy reviews, and audit evidence for compliance assessments.
- Contribute to FinOps initiatives by identifying, diagnosing, and remediating cost anomalies.
- Balance infrastructure cost, performance, and resource utilization when making technical decisions.
- Use AI coding assistants to accelerate IaC development, scripting, and troubleshooting; validate and refine AI-generated documentation, runbooks, and incident retrospectives before publishing.
- Evaluate AI-assisted operations patterns for applicability while balancing velocity gains with compliance and audit requirements.
- Design and document cloud best practices, guardrails, and reference architectures for engineering teams.
- Provide technical expertise to product teams delivering on AWS and recommend and implement process or tooling improvements.
- Maintain awareness of emerging cloud technologies and assess their applicability to HealthEdge's platform roadmap.
