About Hone

Hone is an online medical clinic dedicated to advancing healthcare and enhancing longevity through cutting-edge scientific advancements. Our mission is to empower individuals to take control of their health and achieve their full potential. Our team is passionate, innovative, and committed to making a positive impact.

The Role

Hone is seeking a Staff Cloud Engineer to join our Engineering team. Reporting to the Senior Director of Technology Operations, this role involves defining and owning Hone's multi-year cloud infrastructure strategy, leading complex infrastructure initiatives, and driving DevOps maturity.

Primary Responsibilities

• Define and own Hone's multi-year cloud infrastructure strategy on Microsoft Azure, balancing reliability, security, cost, and engineering velocity.
• Lead the architecture and delivery of the most complex infrastructure initiatives, including multi-region resilience, zero-trust networking, and platform-level developer tooling, from design through production.
• Architect and provision cloud infrastructure using Pulumi (TypeScript/Python), establishing the patterns, modules, and guardrails that other engineers build on.
• Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, setting the standard for automated build, test, deployment, and rollback workflows.
• Define and enforce organization-wide infrastructure standards: tagging policies, cost governance, security baselines, environment parity, and capacity planning across all environments.
• Drive GitOps maturity across the engineering organization, championing infrastructure-as-code, pull-request-based change management, and full audit trails.
• Collaborate directly with Engineering, Product, and Security leadership to translate business requirements into infrastructure roadmaps and investment decisions.
• Mentor and technically develop senior and mid-level engineers; conduct architecture reviews and raise the infrastructure engineering bar organization-wide.
• Partner with security and compliance teams to design and maintain HIPAA-compliant cloud configurations, including network segmentation, key management, secrets handling, and audit controls.
• Own disaster recovery strategy and business continuity planning, including infrastructure runbooks, chaos engineering programs, and failover testing at scale.
• Drive operational excellence through observability tooling (Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics) and establish SLO/SLA frameworks for critical services.
• Evaluate and champion emerging cloud-native services and tooling, providing executive-level recommendations that shape Hone's technical strategy.
• Contribute to the broader engineering community through tech talks, documentation, code reviews, and cross-team collaboration.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of cloud engineering or DevOps experience, with at least 5 years on Microsoft Azure in a production environment.
• Demonstrated track record as a staff-level or principal engineer—setting technical direction, leading cross-team initiatives, and influencing architectural decisions beyond your immediate team.
• Deep, hands-on production experience with Pulumi (strongly preferred) or equivalent IaC tooling (Terraform, Bicep), with the ability to design reusable module libraries and enforce standards at scale.
• Expert-level experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions across large engineering organizations.
• Mastery of core Azure services: AKS, App Service, Azure Functions, Storage, Key Vault, Virtual Networks, Azure SQL, Service Bus, and Azure Networking (Hub-Spoke, Private Endpoints, NSG/UDR design).
• Proficiency in multiple scripting and general-purpose languages (Python, TypeScript, PowerShell, Bash) for automation, tooling, and platform engineering.
• Advanced understanding of GitOps principles, branching strategies, and infrastructure change management practices at enterprise scale.
• Expert-level experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/AKS) including cluster operations, workload identity, autoscaling, and network policy in production.
• Deep familiarity with HIPAA compliance requirements and cloud security best practices: zero-trust architecture, identity federation, secrets management, network isolation, and audit logging.
• Proven ability to mentor and develop senior engineers, influence without authority, and drive technical alignment across multiple teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a track record of producing architecture decision records (ADRs), runbooks, and executive-facing technical briefings.
