Job description

VedaPointe and its partners are highly reliant on our presence in the cloud. We are entrusted to design, build, secure, and operate cloud-native platforms that power healthcare and life sciences technologies at scale. We seek a hands-on DevOps/Cloud Platform Engineer who can design and build cloud architectures from the ground up, translate architectural intent into production-grade infrastructure, and continuously evolve our cloud platforms using modern DevOps practices.

You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of cloud infrastructure from greenfield architecture and foundational platform build-out, through automation, deployment, and long-term optimization.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure from the ground up, supporting application development, data engineering, and solution engineering teams.
• Partner with solution architects and engineering leaders to define cloud-native architectures, then independently translate those designs into fully implemented, production-ready environments.
• Take ownership of platform-level concerns, including networking, identity and access management, observability, CI/CD pipelines, and environment standardization.
• Apply strong DevOps principles to ensure infrastructure is automated, repeatable, testable, and version-controlled using infrastructure-as-code.
• Build and maintain scalable, resilient, and secure cloud platforms that serve as the backbone for healthcare and life sciences solutions, recognizing that reliability and trust are non-negotiable.
• Serve as a subject matter expert for end-to-end cloud architectures across AWS and managed Kubernetes, with deep hands-on experience in at least one.
• Evolve our cloud playbook by creating and maintaining reusable, well-documented cloud and DevOps patterns that enable teams to move quickly and safely.
• Research, evaluate, and prototype new technologies, services, and tooling, making evidence-based recommendations for adoption.
• Design and implement solutions for security, high availability, disaster recovery, and large-scale data streaming, ensuring platforms meet both technical and regulatory expectations.
• Contribute meaningfully to architectural discussions by providing practical implementation insight, trade-off analysis, and operational perspective.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, systems analysis, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience designing and building cloud infrastructure, not just maintaining it, on AWS.
• Demonstrated experience owning cloud architectures end to end, including initial design, foundational build, and ongoing iteration.
• Strong experience with DevOps toolchains, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and release automation.
• Proven expertise with infrastructure-as-code technologies such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar tools.
• Deep understanding of cloud architecture principles, including the AWS Well-Architected Framework (or equivalent), with real-world implementation experience.
• Strong security mindset, with hands-on experience implementing identity, network security, encryption, and least-privilege access.
• Demonstrated experience building and operating containerized platforms using Docker, Kubernetes, or similar technologies.
• Strong documentation skills, including experience producing architecture diagrams, runbooks, and documentation-as-code.
• Experience supporting microservices-based architectures in production environments.
• Experience in healthcare and/or life sciences is preferred, but not required.
