• Ensure system reliability, performance, and security compliance across healthcare environments
• Support integration with healthcare ecosystem partners
• Drive automation initiatives to improve deployment frequency, reduce lead time, and minimize incidents
• Mentor developers on DevOps tooling, practices, and cloud-native patterns
• Enforce security best practices — secrets management, IAM policies, vulnerability scanning, and HIPAA compliance controls
• Manage configuration and environment consistency across dev, staging, and production
• Collaborate with onshore and offshore teams in an Agile delivery model
• Support EDI healthcare transaction pipelines (837, 834, 835, 270/271, 276/277, 278) from an infrastructure and integration standpoint
