Director of Cloud Engineering

About OpenLoop

OpenLoop was co-founded by CEO, Dr. Jon Lensing, and COO, Christian Williams, with the vision to bring care anywhere. Our telehealth support solutions are thoughtfully designed to streamline and simplify go-to-market care delivery for companies offering meaningful virtual support to patients across an expansive array of specialties, in all 50 states.

What You'll Do

• Own Cloud Strategy & Architecture: Define the multi-year roadmap for OpenLoop's cloud platform (primarily AWS), including account structure, networking, compute, data, and disaster recovery. Make final calls on platform standards and technology trade-offs.

• Build & Lead the Team: Hire, develop, and lead cloud and infrastructure engineers and managers. Set clear expectations, grow technical leaders, and build a culture of ownership and operational rigor.

• Infrastructure as Code & Automation: Drive consistent, repeatable infrastructure using Terraform (or equivalent), CI/CD, and self-service tooling so product teams can ship quickly and safely.

• Security & Compliance by Design: Partner with Security and Compliance to embed HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST controls into the platform: identity and access, encryption, logging, audit readiness, and vulnerability management.

• Reliability & Observability: Set SLOs, monitoring, and incident response standards with SRE. Own capacity planning, resilience, and backup/recovery for systems that support patient care.

• Cost Management (FinOps): Own cloud spend visibility and optimization. Build forecasting, tagging, and accountability so cost scales with the business, not ahead of it.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Translate infrastructure constraints into clear options for Product, Engineering, Security, and Finance leaders. Support platform needs across OpenLoop and its subsidiaries.

• Experience operating in regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST, PCI, or similar).
