DevOps Engineer

Overview

Overview:

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer with a strong Java background to build, automate, and operate the infrastructure that powers our healthcare technology platform. You will be the connective tissue between development and operations — accelerating delivery pipelines, strengthening cloud infrastructure, and ensuring the reliability of critical healthcare systems.

As a DevOps Engineer, this is your opportunity to:

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Java-based microservices and enterprise healthcare applications using tools like GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or similar.
• Customize CI/CD pipelines, including build stages, test automation, artifact management, and deployment strategies.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar tools).
• Deploy, and manage AWS cloud infrastructure, including EC2, S3, ECS/EKS, RDS, and networking components.
• Handle storage and access configurations such as S3 bucket policies, IAM roles, file permissions, and mount/server path configurations (EFS/NFS).
• Implement and manage monitoring and logging solutions, including AWS CloudWatch, Log Insights, and integration with centralized logging tools (e.g., ELK, Splunk).
• Troubleshoot application, infrastructure, and deployment issues, with strong Linux administration and debugging skills.
• Write and maintain automation scripts using Bash, Shell, or Python for deployment and operational tasks.
• Manage source control and branching strategies using Git (GitLab), including integration with CI/CD pipelines.
• Apply security best practices in CI/CD, infrastructure, and application deployment (secrets management, IAM policies, vulnerability scanning).
• Support containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS or on-prem clusters).
• Collaborate with Java development teams to embed DevOps practices throughout the software delivery lifecycle
• Ensure system reliability, performance, and security compliance across healthcare environments
• Support integration with healthcare ecosystem partners
• Drive automation initiatives to improve deployment frequency, reduce lead time, and minimize incidents
• Mentor developers on DevOps tooling, practices, and cloud-native patterns
• Enforce security best practices — secrets management, IAM policies, vulnerability scanning, and HIPAA compliance controls
• Manage configuration and environment consistency across dev, staging, and production
• Collaborate with onshore and offshore teams in an Agile delivery model
• Support EDI healthcare transaction pipelines (837, 834, 835, 270/271, 276/277, 278) from an infrastructure and integration standpoint
• Conduct root cause analysis for production incidents and drive post-mortem processes

 Required Qualification:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE experience in an enterprise environment
• Strong Java development background — ability to read, debug, and work alongside Java/Spring Boot codebases
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
• Proficiency with AWS cloud services and cloud-native architecture patterns
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and container orchestration (Kubernetes / EKS)
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience with Terraform or AWS CloudFormationSolid understanding of networking, security groups, VPCs, and IAM in AWS
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tooling (CloudWatch, Datadog, Splunk, PagerDuty, etc.)
• Experience working in onshore/offshore delivery models
• Understanding of SQL, XML, JSON, REST/SOAP Web Services, and middleware technologies
• Strong communication skills — able to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfortable in a fully remote, async-first work environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in healthcare IT — Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, or Commercial insurance domains
• Knowledge of HIPAA compliance, PHI data handling, and healthcare security standards
• Familiarity with EDI healthcare transactions (837, 834, 835, 270/271, 276/277, 278)
• Exposure to healthcare ecosystem platforms such as HealthRules, TriZetto, NASCO, Advantasure, or Change Healthcare
• Experience supporting healthcare core administration systems — claims adjudication and enrollment platforms
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or equivalent)
• Experience with Agile/Scrum delivery and tools such as Jira and Confluence
• Familiarity with secrets management tools (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)

Who you are:

• Automation-first mindset — if something can be automated, you automate it
• Collaborative by nature, with a strong sense of ownership over platform reliability
• Adaptable and calm under pressure — you know how to prioritize and triage in a fast-moving environment
• Committed to security, compliance, and quality in everything you ship
• Eager to mentor and share knowledge across development and operations teams
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and building scalable processes where none exist yet
