Job description

Evio is a highly unique pharmacy solutions company that was founded by and works closely with health plans to implement transformative (to cost, quality, access and experience) initiatives primarily focused on specialty and other high-cost medication solutions.

In 2020, a group of five amazing Blue Cross Blue Shield health plans that in total serve more than 20 million members recognized that the way medications get to patients needs significant reform—rapidly rising costs and massive system complexities are detrimental to patients and the entire industry. In 2025, Wellmark joined as Evio's first non-founding investor and sixth owner health plan. Each company made, and continues to make, significant investments to establish Evio as an independent entity to lead this transformation.

Evio has advanced analytics and contracting capabilities at scale, and a suite of digital tools, to power our high-cost medication solutions. Our solutions act as a self-reinforcing “flywheel” where each element strengthens and feeds into the next, and support an “Only Evio can do that,” mindset and prioritization.

Evio is also a company that has invested heavily in and been highly intentional about people, team and culture. We believe we have created a very special place to work and encourage candidates to observe and ask us about our culture and decide for themselves.

About the role

At Evio, DevOps Engineers support both software development and operational execution in a product‑centric, small‑company environment. This role blends hands‑on development with runtime operations and ownership of recurring product data ingestion cycles that are critical to Evio’s platforms. This ensures we can improve the systems that drive our products and continually enhance how we deliver them.

This is not a traditional infrastructure‑heavy DevOps role. The Evio DevOps Engineer operates within an existing cloud and application environment, focusing on reliability, deployments, monitoring, and the successful execution of data operations that directly impact product outcomes, rather than building infrastructure from scratch.

What you’ll do

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and supporting applications.
• Build and enhance data ingestion components, including integrations, transformations, and validation logic.
• Partner with teammates to debug and resolve production issues with a strong focus on root‑cause analysis and long‑term fixes.
• Develop internal tools and automation to reduce friction and improve reliability.
• Collaborate with product and data teams to ensure solutions are production‑ready and operationally sound.
• Own and execute recurring product data ingestion cycles.
• Monitor ingestion runs, manage retries, and address failures or partial loads.
• Validate data completeness, timeliness, and basic quality checks.
• Coordinate with product, analytics, and support teams when ingestion issues impact downstream workflows.
• Perform root‑cause analysis on ingestion failures and implement improvements to prevent recurrence.

DevOps, release, and runtime operations (~25-30%)

• Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines supporting application deployments.
• Coordinate application releases with engineering teammates to deliver changes safely and reliably.
• Monitor application health, logs, and alerts; respond to incidents and production issues to maintain reliable, high-performing services
• Manage environment configuration and secrets in alignment with security best practices.
• Participate in incident response and contribute to post‑incident reviews.
• Improve operational guardrails such as retries, timeouts, monitoring, and alerting.

Collaboration & leadership

• Work closely with architecture, engineering, product, data, and support teams in a highly collaborative environment.
• Provide technical guidance on platform resilience best practices and production readiness.
• Contribute to improving processes, documentation, and operational clarity across teams.
• Support data security and compliance efforts in coordination with engineering leadership.

Security & compliance

• Support secure handling of sensitive healthcare data.
• Follow established security, access control, and audit practices.
• Contribute to maintaining compliance with healthcare and data protection standards.
• Identify opportunities to reduce manual operational work through pragmatic automation.
• Improve reliability and observability based on real production experience.
• Look for opportunities to simplify work, improve reliability, and help teammates deliver software more efficiently.

The skills and experience you bring to this role include:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Informatics, Information Systems, or another quantitative field.
• 10+ years of experience in data engineering or a similar role with demonstrated technical leadership experience.
• Expertise building and administering, including writing views, stored procedures, and triggers, in AWS-native data systems (Redshift, Aurora, RDS PostgreSQL, Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, MWAA-Airflow).
• Strong Python and SQL experience, including advanced query design and database optimization.
• Experience with healthcare data (Medical Claims, Rx Claims) or similar healthcare data is required.
• Ability to develop subject‑matter expertise and partner thoughtfully with business teams.
• Trusted partner: reliable to deliver accurate work in a timely manner.
• A passion for working with a team to improve how data drives meaningful outcomes.
