📋 Description

• Apply AI/agentic tooling to DevOps and infrastructure work; automated remediation, anomaly detection, capacity and cost optimization, and agent-assisted incident response and runbook execution • Apply AI to InfoSec; AI-assisted log/alert triage, compliance evidence collection, vulnerability prioritization, and phishing/threat detection — while maintaining human sign-off on anything security-critical • Drive org-wide AI enablement for technical operations: evaluate and roll out agentic tooling to support the broader organization • Set guardrails for safe AI adoption in a regulated environment — data handling, auditability, and model/tool vetting — so speed doesn't come at the cost of compliance • Own the reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency of our AWS-native infrastructure (Lambda, Step Functions, Kinesis, Connect, Bedrock, and related services) • Drive CI/CD maturity, infrastructure-as-code practices (SAM/CloudFormation/Terraform), and environment consistency across dev/staging/prod • Own observability: logging, monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes; drive down MTTR • Manage on-call rotations and runbooks; be a calm, decisive presence during incidents • Own the security posture of a HIPAA- and CMS-regulated platform: policies, controls, risk assessments, and audit readiness • Lead SOC 2 / HIPAA compliance programs, vendor security reviews, and incident response • Partner with engineering on secure-by-default practices (secrets management, least-privilege IAM, PHI handling, encryption at rest/in transit) • Own security awareness training and access governance across the company • Manage corporate IT: employee onboarding/offboarding, endpoint management, SSO/identity (Okta or similar), device security, and helpdesk support • Own vendor and SaaS management, including procurement, licensing, and access reviews • Build scalable, self-serve IT processes appropriate for our headcount • Build and lead a small, high-leverage team as the function grows — hire well, and know when not to hire, favoring automation and good tooling over headcount • Partner closely with the VP of Engineering, Data Engineering, and Product on shared infrastructure needs • Represent technical operations to the board, auditors, and enterprise customers/partners when needed • Set and report on operational KPIs; uptime, deployment frequency, MTTR, security findings closure rate

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years in a technical operations, DevOps, infrastructure, or security leadership role, ideally with 2+ years managing people or leading cross-functional initiatives • Deep hands-on experience with AWS; IAM, networking, serverless, and container services • Direct experience with security compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001) — you've been through an audit, not just read about one • Strong infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD chops • Experience operating in a regulated or high-stakes environment such as healthcare, fintech, insurance is a strong plus • A builder's mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, allergic to unnecessary process, and biased toward reversible, incremental decisions • Excellent judgment under pressure — you're often the person who is calm when something breaks in production • Clear communicator who can translate technical risk into business terms for non-technical stakeholders.

🏖️ Benefits

• Equity compensation • Health care, including dental and vision through our PEO Sequoia • Flexible work location; co-working available • 401k • Paid Time Off • Monthly Remote Work Stipend (help cover costs of home-office needs) • Paid Parental Leave • Up to 14 weeks for birthing parents • Up to 8 weeks for non-birth parents • 11 paid holidays • 2 week sabbatical at 5 years of employment • Wellbeing Perks through SpringHealth, OneMedical, PerkSpot, and SoFi
