Senior DevOps Engineer

Healthcare needs a better rhythm: one that keeps care continuous and deeply human. Heidi is building an AI Care Partner that works alongside clinicians to make that possible.

We’re a team of doctors, engineers, designers, researchers, and creatives building tools that help clinicians stay focused on what matters most: their patients.

In just 18 months, Heidi has given back more than 18 million hours to healthcare professionals — supporting 73 million patient visits in 116 countries. Today, more than two million patient visits each week are powered by Heidi worldwide.

Backed by nearly $100 million in funding, we’re growing in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe, partnering with leading health systems including the NHS, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Monash Health.

You’ll help build and scale the cloud infrastructure that powers Heidi’s healthcare AI platform. This role sits within the Engineering Platform team — responsible for reliability, automation, and developer productivity. You’ll work across AWS and Azure environments, manage Kubernetes workloads, improve CI/CD pipelines, and embed security and observability into everything we ship.

  Scale our Kubernetes platform: Operate and improve EKS clusters (multi-region), add new services, enhance security, and optimize deployments.

• →

  Enhance observability: Implement metrics, logs, and tracing using Datadog, OpenTelemetry, and synthetic monitoring.

• →

  Improve release reliability: Enforce safe deployment patterns (canary, blue/green, approvals) and manage environment promotion flows.

• →

  Support developer self-service: Extend “paved road” tooling for app teams — environment scaffolds, secrets management, and automated provisioning.

• →

  Security and compliance: Apply least-privilege IAM, secret rotation, image signing, and supply-chain hardening (JFrog, GHAS).

• →

  Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with product pods to embed reliability, incident response, and SLO ownership.

We design for safety and reliability so clinicians, patients, and our teams can trust what we build every day.

Ideas rise on merit, not title, and everyone shares responsibility for the standards we set together.

We move quickly but never at the cost of trust. Progress only matters if people can depend on what we make.

Honest feedback, steady support, and shared growth keep our teams improving together.
