Sr. AWS Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

H1 • New York, NY

2d • $120,000 - $145,000

About The Position

H1 is hiring a hands-on senior cloud infrastructure engineer to design, build, and manage AWS infrastructure for its healthcare data platforms and applications. The role focuses on cloud infrastructure engineering, Infrastructure as Code, automation, and cost optimization rather than traditional Site Reliability Engineering. The engineer will work closely with Software Engineering, Data Engineering, and other technical teams to provision infrastructure, improve existing environments, automate manual processes, and support evolving application and data platform needs. The role may also contribute to database infrastructure and operational support for US-based projects.

The position involves owning infrastructure projects from technical design and provisioning through deployment, troubleshooting, and optimization. The engineer will build AWS environments using Terraform and services including IAM, S3, EKS, and EMR; create Python- and script-based automation and self-service capabilities; optimize cloud costs; maintain CircleCI pipelines; and help resolve infrastructure and database-related challenges.

H1's hiring process requires all candidates to participate in an in-person final interview, which may require travel depending on the candidate's location. The role pays $120,000 to $145,000 per year based on experience, plus equity in the form of RSUs. The anticipated role close date is November 25, 2026.
