Job description

This is a foundational hire. You own the infrastructure that a pharmacy robot fleet runs on - and you set the standard for how infrastructure is built. Engineers write application code; you make sure it deploys reliably, scales correctly, stays secure, and is observable in production. You don't write dispense logic. You own the platform it runs on: Terraform, CI/CD, deployment automation, security scanning, observability, certificate management, and the production environment that must pass a mandated penetration test. You write code to solve infrastructure problems, not just configure tools.

What You'll Own

  • Infrastructure as code - Terraform modules, multi-environment strategy (dev, staging, production), production hardening
  • CI/CD - Build, test, scan, and deploy pipelines for Rust and TypeScript services
  • Deployment automation - Reliable deploys in minutes. Docker builds. Blue/green or rolling deployments
  • Observability - Dashboards, alerting, structured logging, health endpoints, SLO monitoring
  • Security - Dependency auditing, vulnerability scanning, secret detection, image scanning, certificate management (X.509, mTLS)
  • Device updates - OTA software update pipeline with staged rollout across pharmacy locations
  • Cost management - Right-sizing, budget alerts, utilization targets

First 90 Days

  • Day 30: Understand the existing infrastructure. Deploys are reliable. Security scanning enabled in CI. First monitoring dashboard operational.
  • Day 60: Security hardening complete. CI/CD extended with full scanning. Alerting configured with escalation paths. Cost assessment delivered.
  • Day 90: Production environment ready for pilot. Pen test prep done. OTA pipeline prototyped. Every service has a health dashboard, alerts, and a runbook.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Virtual Private Clouds?, * 3+ years Terraform / IaC - Production modules, state management, multi-environment promotion

  • AWS deep - VPC, ECS, RDS, IAM, KMS, SQS, CloudWatch. You understand the security model
  • CI/CD - GitHub Actions or equivalent. Pipeline-as-code, caching, deployment gates
  • Docker - Multi-stage builds, image optimization, production deployment
  • Linux - System administration, troubleshooting, performance analysis

Nice-to-Have

  • Rust toolchain (cargo, clippy, cross-compilation)
  • IoT fleet management or device provisioning at scale
  • AWS cost optimization
  • Healthcare or regulated industry experience

Benefits & conditions
