• CI/CD and IaC: Contribute to our code-first approach to continuous integration/continuous delivery, enhancing deployment strategies and automation.
• Containerization and orchestration: Lead Kubernetes cluster management, implementing best practices in container orchestration, scaling, and network security.
• Continuous improvement: Collaborate with development teams to integrate the latest updates into our platform, ensuring scalability and agility.
• Security: Implement and maintain strong security controls, including access controls, encryption, and vulnerability management.
• System performance monitoring: Set up and manage logging, monitoring, and alerting systems.
• Compliance: Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to ensure compliance with security standards and healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 270001).
• Disaster recovery and backup: Develop comprehensive disaster recovery and incident response plans, ensuring robust data backup and security protocols.
• Client communication: Engage with Eng leaders to drive technological innovation and operational efficiency across their complex organizations.
• Platform team growth: Define team roles, assist in hiring, and collaborate with Platform engineers, cloud specialists, and Eng staff as our workload expands.

What you'll need to be successful:

• Cloud, containerization, and orchestration technologies: Experience with Google Cloud services, particularly Kubernetes/GKE.
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC): Management of applications and infrastructure dependencies using IAC and gitops workflows.
• Identity, network, and security control management: Strong understanding of networking concepts and security controls, particularly for a microservices architecture and its deployment in a cloud-native environment.
• Technical operations management: Advanced knowledge of security monitoring, logging, automation, and configuration management tools (e.g., PagerDuty) to deliver SLAs.
• Healthcare domain expertise: Knowledge or eager willingness to learn about the healthcare industry and landscape, including the economics of healthcare, how hospitals and healthcare providers operate on a daily basis, and healthcare data standards and regulations (e.g., HIPAA, HL7, FHIR).
