Join our Infrastructure Engineering team as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer. In this role, you will design, build, and operate resilient infrastructure for our AWS-based healthcare platform. You will own incident response, disaster recovery exercises, and observability. You will also build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code, work hands-on in Kubernetes, and shape our security and compliance posture. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, and distributed systems, with a track record of driving incident response and disaster recovery exercises.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate resilient, self-healing infrastructure across our AWS-based platform.
- Own incident response end-to-end: detection, mitigation, root-cause investigation, and postmortems.
- Build out observability that's genuinely tuned — SLIs, SLOs, and alerting people trust, not noise.
Requirements
- Deep, current expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, and distributed systems, with the depth to go past the vocabulary
- Bonus: experience with high-traffic, mission-critical SaaS or IoT platforms
- Bonus: healthcare IT, EHR data, or HIPAA/SOC 2-governed environments
- 4+ years in Site Reliability Engineering or Cloud Infrastructure
- An appetite for staying close to the system rather than one step removed from it
- Solid grounding in CI/CD automation, GitOps, and infrastructure as code
- A track record of driving incident response and postmortems yourself
- Real experience running disaster recovery or failover exercises
