DevOps Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a DevOps Engineer based in the United States.

As a DevOps Engineer, you will lead the design, management, and continuous improvement of cloud infrastructure supporting critical healthcare technology and business operations. You will primarily work with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with additional exposure to AWS, building secure, scalable, and cost-efficient environments. Combining cloud architecture expertise with infrastructure automation and DevOps practices, you will oversee CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, and platform reliability. You will also drive cloud governance, security, compliance, and cost optimization initiatives in a regulated healthcare environment. Working autonomously, you will collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, security, and product teams to modernize platforms and improve delivery processes. This hands-on technical leadership opportunity offers significant ownership and influence over enterprise cloud strategy and operations.

Accountabilities

As a DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and operating cloud environments, strengthening infrastructure automation, ensuring regulatory compliance, and providing technical guidance across engineering and IT teams.

• Cloud Infrastructure Management

• Design, deploy, operate, and continuously improve cloud environments across Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, with additional AWS support as needed.

• Manage cloud subscription and project structures, landing zones, resource organization, tagging standards, and development, testing, and production environments.

• Implement and maintain identity and access management using least-privilege principles, including Entra ID, Azure RBAC, GCP IAM, managed identities, workload identities, and identity federation.

• Design and manage cloud networking components, including VNets, VPCs, subnets, routing, hub-and-spoke architectures, private endpoints, DNS, load balancing, and hybrid connectivity.

• Oversee capacity planning, infrastructure lifecycle management, patching, and upgrade planning for cloud-hosted services.

• Cloud Architecture and Governance

• Apply Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS Well-Architected Framework principles to improve reliability, security, cost efficiency, operational excellence, and performance.

• Lead cloud architecture and well-architected reviews, document findings, prioritize remediation activities, and monitor improvements through completion.

• Establish and enforce cloud governance standards and policy-as-code controls using Azure Policy, GCP Organization Policy, and related technologies.

• Drive FinOps initiatives, including cost visibility, resource allocation, infrastructure right-sizing, reserved capacity planning, committed-use optimization, and anomaly detection.

• Maintain architecture diagrams, technical design documents, infrastructure standards, and operational runbooks.

• Automation, Infrastructure as Code, and DevOps

• Provision and manage cloud infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code (IaC), primarily using Terraform, with Bicep, ARM, and native GCP tooling where appropriate.

• Develop reusable and version-controlled infrastructure modules, remote state management, and drift detection capabilities.

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitLab, GitHub Actions, or comparable platforms.

• Integrate automated validation, security scanning, approval workflows, and environment promotion into deployment processes.

• Develop automation scripts using PowerShell, Python, and Bash to eliminate repetitive manual tasks and improve operational efficiency.

• Select, implement, and support development, testing, automation, and IT infrastructure tools while advising teams on DevOps practices and release management.

• Support containerized platforms and services, including Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), along with their underlying cloud infrastructure.

• Security, Compliance, and Reliability

• Implement and maintain cloud security controls aligned with HIPAA, HITRUST, and internal security requirements, including encryption, key and secret management, network segmentation, centralized logging, and vulnerability remediation.

• Collaborate with Security and Compliance teams on assessments, audits, evidence collection, and remediation activities.

• Establish observability solutions using tools such as Azure Monitor, Google Cloud Observability, and Datadog.

• Maintain monitoring metrics, logs, alerts, and dashboards while participating in incident response and root cause analysis.

• Design, implement, and test backup, disaster recovery, and high-availability strategies with clearly defined recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTO/RPO).

• Technical Advisory and Collaboration

• Advise engineering, product, and IT leadership on cloud architecture, platform selection, infrastructure migrations, and modernization strategies.

• Translate stakeholder requirements into practical cloud and automation solutions while clearly communicating technical trade-offs.

• Evaluate emerging cloud services, infrastructure technologies, and AI-assisted engineering tools, recommending adoption when they provide measurable value.

• Mentor infrastructure and development team members while contributing to technical documentation, standards, and best practices.
