You will be responsible for managing and optimizing our environments within Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), while serving as the primary lead for production support, system uptime, and security compliance. In addition to core infrastructure management (Mirth Connect, Node.js, Angular, Nginx, and Postgres), this role maintains a heavy focus on security operations, including advanced Datadog monitoring, secure VPN tunnel management, and leading the technical readiness for our annual HITRUST certification audits. This is a hybrid, virtual home-based position. The candidate will be required to attend in-person meetings in the Los Angeles area on an as-needed basis. Essential Functions 1. Cloud Operations & Observability * Manage, scale, and troubleshoot our multi-cloud environment (primarily AWS with some GCP workloads) to ensure maximum uptime and system resilience. * Develop, configure, secure and deploy new cloud infrastructure in AWS using technologies like Node.js, EC2, Lambda, S3, Postgres, ALB, Auto Scale Groups and Redis. * Deploy, configure, and operate Datadog across the entire stack to establish deep observability, granular application performance monitoring (APM), log management, and proactive alerting frameworks. * Perform system updates, patch management, and infrastructure maintenance during designated monthly windows with zero-to-minimal downtime. 2. Security, Networking & Compliance * Act as the technical lead for HITRUST certification and compliance auditing, ensuring all infrastructure controls, logging, and access management meet stringent healthcare security standards. * Architect, configure, and maintain secure site-to-site VPN channels (IPsec/AWS Client VPN) to connect securely with external hospital systems, clinics, and participants. * Implement and enforce data security best practices (encryption-at-rest and in-transit) safeguarding PHI, HIV, and SUD data categories. * Oversee Identity and Access Management (IAM), network firewalls, and vulnerability remediation. 3. Data & Interface Support * Troubleshoot and optimize HL7, CCD, and FHIR interfaces managed via Mirth Connect. * Monitor and diagnose Postgres database performance issues, executing optimization strategies and maintaining robust backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) testing plans. * Provide Tier 2/3 engineering support to debug issues across the middleware layer (Node.js running on load-balanced EC2 Auto Scaling Groups) and the web layer (Angular/Nginx). 4. Collaboration & Process Improvement * Define, maintain, and automate CI/CD pipelines to achieve seamless, automated code deployment. * Author and update standard operating procedures (SOPs), runbooks, and architectural diagrams. * Collaborate closely with external technical vendors, LANES clients, and internal engineering teams to resolve complex integration tickets. ## Related Videos - [Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/511-our-journey-with-spring-boot-in-a-microservice-architecture) - [Post-Quantum Cryptography: Preparing for Q-Day](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100179-post-quantum-cryptography-preparing-for-q-day) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1630-streaming-ai-responses-in-real-time-with-sse-in-next-js-nestjs) - [30 powerful AWS hacks in just 30 minutes: Boost your developer productivity](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1624-30-powerful-aws-hacks-in-just-30-minutes-boost-your-developer-productivity) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology)
