Job description

For People is a team of skilled technologists improving government digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. We embed directly in government agencies to modernize software, systems, and platforms so that they better serve people.

Your Impact

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at For People, you will be instrumental in transforming the user experience for the Medicaid Drug Program (MDP) product suite at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). MDP is vital for improving access to affordable medications for millions of Medicaid beneficiaries. You will build and maintain the infrastructure and automation that enables the rapid and reliable delivery of features that empower CMS to negotiate better drug prices, track compliance, and ensure transparency in drug costs. Your work directly contributes to CMS allocating funds more effectively, enabling state Medicaid programs to provide affordable prescriptions to low-income individuals and families.

Our Culture

For People is a team of humans. We place a significant amount of emphasis on positive work-life balance, setting healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means picking a child up from school during the day or going for a mid-day walk is okay!

Our entire team is remote across the United States, from the West Coast to the East Coast. There will never be a return-to-office, as we have none!

Your Opportunities

At For People, you will:

• Design, implement, and manage robust, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure within AWS
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated building, testing, and deployment of applications
• Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) for a consistent and repeatable environment provisioning process
• Manage containerization and orchestration platforms on AWS Fargate for Amazon ECS for application deployment and scaling
• Establish and maintain comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., CloudWatch) to proactively identify and resolve issues
• Automate infrastructure management, operational tasks, and security compliance checks using scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash)
• Collaborate closely with software engineers to optimize application performance, troubleshoot deployment issues, and integrate DevOps best practices into the development lifecycle
• Implement and enforce security best practices, vulnerability management, and compliance controls throughout the infrastructure and SDLC
• Manage source code repositories (Git) and branching strategies
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives
  
  

You Bring

• A humble and caring attitude aligning with For People’s values – how we work with passion, fun, curiosity, sustainability, humility, and respect
• 9+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Cloud Engineering, or a related Software Engineering field
• Strong hands-on experience designing, building, and managing infrastructure in a major cloud environment, particularly AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, EKS, CloudWatch, etc.)
• Proven expertise in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as CDK Infra as Code
• Good understanding of networking principles (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, Load Balancing, Firewalls, VPCs, Security Groups)
  
  

It would be a bonus if you had…

• Direct experience deploying and managing infrastructure within Federal government agencies
• Prior experience working directly with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
  
  

Additional Details

Location: 100% remote within the United States (fully paid travel may be required about two times per year to the Baltimore, MD area for in-person team collaboration)

Salary Range: $130,000-$145,000 annually, plus comprehensive benefits and annual company profit sharing.

Work Authorization: As we work on U.S. Federal Government programs, you must be a United States citizen and able to pass a public trust background check.

For People is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. We welcome all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, or veteran status.
