This remote-first technical leadership role offers the opportunity to shape and scale the cloud infrastructure behind a healthcare technology platform. The Lead DevOps Engineer will guide a team of engineers while remaining hands-on in designing, building, and securing reliable production environments. The role combines technical strategy, infrastructure automation, security, and operational excellence in a regulated healthcare setting. Working closely with engineering, security, and data teams, this leader will improve deployment practices, modernize infrastructure, and strengthen system observability and resilience. They will also drive cloud cost optimization, manage critical infrastructure incidents, and ensure compliance with healthcare requirements. This is an opportunity to build team capabilities and deliver meaningful technical improvements in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.

Lead, mentor, and develop a team of DevOps engineers, setting technical direction, facilitating sprint planning, and driving delivery against quarterly objectives.
Design, deploy, and maintain scalable, secure production infrastructure on AWS using infrastructure-as-code practices.
Own and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines, establishing consistent deployment standards and security controls across engineering teams.
Lead migrations from legacy infrastructure to modern, managed platforms and oversee the decommissioning of outdated systems.
Define and advance the observability strategy, including monitoring, logging, alerting, and on-call routing across services.
Manage infrastructure networking and access controls, ensuring secure, well-documented, least-privilege access across environments.
Integrate security throughout the DevOps lifecycle through vulnerability scanning, code and infrastructure analysis, and remediation workflows with clear service-level expectations.
Establish and manage FinOps practices, optimizing cloud costs, right-sizing workloads, and reporting infrastructure spend to leadership.
Act as the primary escalation point for infrastructure incidents, leading postmortems and ensuring preventive actions are implemented.
Ensure infrastructure operations meet applicable healthcare regulatory and compliance requirements.
Collaborate with engineering, security, and data teams to align infrastructure priorities with broader technical and business objectives.

Requirements:

At least 8 years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or infrastructure engineering, including experience mentoring or leading engineers.

Strong understanding of security practices and compliance frameworks, including vulnerability scanning, cloud security posture management, and audit logging.
Experience implementing and managing monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to maintain production reliability.
Ability to write code in at least one scripting or systems programming language and manage infrastructure through code.
Strong technical leadership skills, with the ability to guide a team while remaining directly involved in engineering work.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to move between hands-on technical problem-solving, team leadership, and explaining infrastructure decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
