Job summary

Health Data Analytics Institute (HDAI) is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to design and maintain the infrastructure powering HealthVision on AWS. You will manage Terraform modules, multi-tenant environments, and CI/CD pipelines across numerous accounts, ensuring reliability, security, and cost efficiency.

You will collaborate with Platform Engineering and Product teams, applying AI tools daily to boost productivity and delivering scalable, compliant cloud solutions for health systems.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE.
• Strong hands-on AWS experience across core services: Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, SQS, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch, ECS/Fargate.
• Terraform proficiency: modules, workspaces, state management, CI/CD-driven plan/apply.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation (GitHub Actions preferred).
• Comfort with Python (our pipeline services are Python-based) and/or TypeScript.
• AI-native engineering practice. You use AI tools (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) as a core part of your daily workflow.
• Linux and networking fundamentals, and the security instincts to handle patient data carefully.
• Clear written and verbal communication. You collaborate closely and communicate proactively with team members on a daily basis.
• A self-starter who can independently own problems from identification through solution and delivery.

Responsibilities

• Infrastructure delivery. Build and maintain AWS infrastructure through Terraform. Write shared modules, manage per-customer workspaces, and ensure environments are reproducible and version-controlled.
• Automation and tooling. Build internal tools and automation that reduce manual work across the engineering organization: CI/CD pipeline improvements, deployment tooling, onboarding automation, environment provisioning, operational scripts.
• Migration execution. Help move workloads onto the compute and data stores that fit them best, retiring legacy systems along the way.
• Reliability and observability. Improve monitoring and alerting across the platform using Datadog and CloudWatch. Participate in incident response and post-incident reviews.
• Security and compliance. Implement HIPAA-compliant infrastructure patterns: IAM least-privilege policies, encryption at rest and in transit, network isolation, audit logging, data retention controls.
• Cost optimization. Identify and implement cost savings: S3 lifecycle policies, right-sizing compute, eliminating unused resources, consolidating per-account overhead.
• Cross-team collaboration. Everyone who ships on this infrastructure is your customer, and Product Engineering is your closest one.
