About the role
- Lead automation of deployment, configuration, and infrastructure operations across operating systems, databases, networks, and hybrid cloud environments, with an emphasis on security hardening and compliance controls.
- Own and maintain the Terraform codebase, implementing infrastructure as code best practices while enforcing policy-as-code for HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST compliance.
- Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to ensure fast, reliable, and secure delivery of infrastructure and application changes, incorporating automated security scanning and compliance checks.
- Demonstrate strong expertise in AWS security, encryption, key management, and backup practices, ensuring compliance with healthcare and regulatory frameworks.
- Manage monitoring, alerting, and log analysis using tools like CloudWatch, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Datadog, and Sentry, integrating compliance-focused audit trails and incident response workflows.
- Collaborate with application teams to gather requirements and deliver secure, scalable migration paths using AWS services such as CloudFront, ECS, EC2, EKS, Aurora, DynamoDB, and Lambda, with special attention to PHI/PII data protection.
- Champion Agile and DevOps transformation by embedding security and compliance best practices into development workflows, fostering a “shift-left” security culture.
- Contribute to org-wide initiatives focused on improving test infrastructure, environment stability, and automation tooling, ensuring security and compliance are built into shared services.
- Proactively identify and remediate security gaps in infrastructure, IAM policies, and DevOps tooling; implement guardrails and controls through AWS Config, security scanning, and continuous compliance monitoring.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and security teams to ensure infrastructure aligns with compliance standards (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2) and product requirements.
- Design and implement highly available, fault-tolerant systems with built-in observability, compliance logging, and disaster recovery capabilities.
- Define and track SLAs/SLOs in partnership with product and engineering teams, leveraging observability tooling to monitor service health and compliance metrics.
- Monitor infrastructure costs while balancing cost optimization with compliance and security requirements across compute, storage, and networking resources.
- Participate in on-call rotations and lead post-incident reviews, driving long-term reliability improvements across systems.
