Job description

Overview

Join us as we work to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.

Senior Site Reliability Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our Kubernetes-focused team in Cloud Integration Engineering. CIE ensures the continuous availability of the technologies and systems that are the foundation of athenahealth’s services. We are directly responsible for thousands of servers, petabytes of storage, and handling thousands of web requests per second on a Hybrid cloud architecture, all while sustaining growth at a meteoric rate. We enable an operating system for medical offices that removes administrative complexity, leaving doctors free to practice medicine. But enough about us, let’s talk about you.

You are an engineer with a passion for working hands-on with the latest and greatest cloud technology. You want to use the newest tech, but you want to do so in a large environment so you can see how that technology is used when scale matters. What’s most important to you is learning new things, and you’re seeking the best environment to enable that growth for yourself and your team.

The Senior Site Reliability Engineer is a skilled and experienced individual who is responsible for collaborating on the design, implementation, and maintenance of our Kubernetes platform, while integrating with the various services which form athenahealth’s technology stack. You are experienced in AWS’ technology offerings (including EKS, ALB, EC2, and IAM), and have familiarity with building a cloud at scale, while being mindful of adhering to (and authoring) guardrails.

This role will be responsible for working with a team of engineers to develop and implement new features, troubleshoot problems, and ensure that our platform is scalable, reliable, and secure. The ideal candidate will have a thorough understanding of Kubernetes and hybrid cloud computing, as well as leadership and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate on the design, implementation, and maintenance of our Kubernetes platform
• Work with a team of engineers to develop and implement new features
• Troubleshoot problems and ensure that our platform is scalable, reliable, and secure
• Work with other teams to ensure that our platform meets the needs of our business and stakeholders
• Establish standards and best practices for our stakeholders to better achieve success, specifically around Kubernetes & containers
• Stay up-to-date on the latest cloud computing technologies and best practices
• Mentor and train other engineers

Qualifications

• Demonstrative experience with Kubernetes and container based orchestration
• 5+ years of experience with cloud computing (preferably AWS)
• Familiarity with release engineering tooling such as Git, Jenkins, artifact management, Jira
• Familiarity with open-source tooling such as Ansible, Puppet, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana
• Strong understanding of software engineering principles and practices
• Capacity for leadership and strong communication skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines
