Job summary

Kontakt.io is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our Infrastructure Engineering team and keep the healthcare platform running with high availability. You will design, build, and operate resilient systems on AWS, own end-to-end incident response, and drive disaster-recovery exercises with real RTO/RPO targets.

You will strengthen observability, CI/CD pipelines, and IaC while working hands-on in Kubernetes.

Qualifications

4+ years in Site Reliability Engineering or Cloud Infrastructure.
Deep, current expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, and distributed systems.
Experience running disaster recovery or failover exercises.
A track record of driving incident response and postmortems yourself.
Solid grounding in CI/CD automation, GitOps, and infrastructure as code.
Appetite for staying close to the system rather than one step removed.
Bonus: healthcare IT, EHR data, or HIPAA/SOC 2-governed environments.
Bonus: experience with high-traffic, mission-critical SaaS or IoT platforms.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and operate resilient, self-healing infrastructure across our AWS-based platform.
Own incident response end-to-end: detection, mitigation, root-cause investigation, and postmortems.
Design and run disaster-recovery and failover exercises with real RTO/RPO targets.
Build out observability with SLIs, SLOs, and alerting that teams trust.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (Terraform, GitOps).
Work hands-on in Kubernetes, beyond dashboards.
Partner day-to-day with our platform lead and on-call ownership.
Shape our security and compliance posture related to protected health data.
