About The Role
Eko Health is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to maintain and evolve the infrastructure, CI/CD, and deployment systems that support our cloud services and mobile applications. The role also carries meaningful SRE and SecOps responsibilities.
Today, AWS infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines are handled by the engineering team itself. You would become the person the team turns to for deployments and for keeping servers running. You will help define processes, build security and reliability into our AWS infrastructure and delivery pipelines, and act as one of the first lines of defense when critical events and issues arise.
The work centers on backend infrastructure and DevOps, mostly with Terraform, alongside a C#. You will stay closely connected to backend application development, databases, and APIs. That work supports Eko's hardware, software, and AI products in human and veterinary health.
Early Projects & Initiatives
Mature and upgrade the deployment pipeline.
Make sure cloud infrastructure goes through the appropriate security processes.
Because the team has shared infrastructure work until now, a likely early step is turning that shared knowledge into documented, codified practices, including runbooks and system design decisions.
About The Team
You will join a team of 5 engineers that report to a team lead. The others on the team are full stack engineers, with some focusing on backend and others in frontend engineering. The team has shared AWS, CI, and CD responsibilities. This hire will take on that ownership and work with the engineers who currently handle it.
Essential Functions
Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, cloud security posture, and observability monitors/alerts using infrastructure-as-code frameworks and best practices
Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines to build, test, artifact and deploy continuously merged code
Build self-service tooling and paved paths to enable downstream engineers to ship without infrastructure expertise
Upgrade security and vulnerability scanning into our CI/CD layer and help coordinate the triaging of deficiencies
Help harden the software supply chain with artifact signing, SBOM generation, and properly configured build runners
Partner with security/compliance on audits and evidence collection for SOC2/HIPAA/ISO 27001 as applicable
Participate in incident responses that lead to blameless postmortems with tracked follow-ups
Mentor engineers on operational and secure-development practices
Contribute to architecture views with a reliability, operability, and security perspective
Help document runbooks, playbooks, threat-model notes, and system design decisions
Other duties as assigned
Note: Job duties may change at any time with or without notice.
Required Qualifications
7 + years in DevOps, platform, or infrastructure engineering, including ownership of customer-facing systems
Deep experience with at least one major cloud provider and IaC practices in a team setting
Strong proficiency in a scripting/programming language (Python, Go, Bash)
Hands-on experience with container orchestration and CI/CD systems
Working knowledge of cloud IAM and network security fundamentals
Practical SRE experience
Experience with Linux internals, networking, and debugging distributed systems under pressure
Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in a startup or high-growth environment, preferably in a regulated environment
Experience supporting audit cycles
Threat modeling or offensive-security exposure (CTFs, pentest collaboration, bug bounty triage)
Database operations experience
Experience with service mesh, progressive delivery, and chaos engineering
