Senior Systems Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to lead the design, scalability, and reliability of our internal healthcare application platform. This role owns Kubernetes platform standards, CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) strategy, operational excellence, and cost optimization. The role also mentors engineers and partners with development and leadership teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, own, and evolve the Kubernetes platform architecture for healthcare applications, including cluster strategy, upgrades, and multi-environment standards.
- Define and enforce standardized deployment patterns using Helm, Kustomize, and GitOps (e.g., Argo CD or Flux).
- Architect enterprise CI/CD pipelines with built-in security scanning, quality gates, and release governance.
- Lead IaC strategy with reusable Terraform modules, configuration management, and policy-as-code.
- Establish observability standards, SLOs/SLIs, and alerting. Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and post-incident reviews.
- Drive platform security and compliance (HIPAA, audit readiness, secrets management, RBAC, network policies, image hardening).
- Own cloud cost governance (FinOps): rightsizing, autoscaling, reserved capacity, and cost reporting, with measurable savings.
- Plan and test disaster recovery, backup, and high availability.
- Mentor engineers, conduct design and code reviews, and author technical documentation and runbooks.
- Partner with development, security, and leadership teams on the platform roadmap and technical decisions.
Required Skills
- 5+ years in Systems Engineering, DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering, including 3+ years running Kubernetes in production.
- Expert-level Kubernetes administration (AKS, EKS, or OpenShift), Docker, Kustomize and Helm.
- Proven experience designing CI/CD at scale with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or Jenkins.
- Advanced Terraform skills (module design, state management) plus Ansible or similar tools.
- Strong scripting and automation in PowerShell, Python, or Bash.
- Deep Azure experience (networking, identity, security, cost management); multi-cloud is a plus.
- Hands-on observability experience with Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, or ELK.
- Track record of leading production incidents and delivering reliability improvements.
Preferred Skills
- Experience in healthcare or other regulated environments (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2).
- GitOps, service mesh (Istio or Linkerd), and policy engines (OPA/Gatekeeper or Kyverno).
- FinOps practices and cloud cost tooling (Kubecost, Azure Cost Management).
- Relevant certifications: CKA/CKS, Azure Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer, Terraform Associate.
What Success Looks Like
- A standardized, self-service Kubernetes platform adopted across application teams.
- Defined SLOs met consistently, with reduced incident frequency and faster recovery (MTTR).
- Majority of infrastructure and deployments fully automated through IaC and GitOps.
- Audit-ready platform security and compliance posture.
- Documented, measurable infrastructure cost savings.
- Stronger team capability through mentoring, standards, and documentation.
