DevOps Engineer

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Requirements

• 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 CloudFormation.
• Solid 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).

Skills

• 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.

Pay

The annual US base salary range for this position is $101,000 to $115,000. Final compensation will be determined during the interview process and is based on a combination of factors including, but not limited to, your skills, experience, qualifications, and education.
