Senior DevOps Engineer

About Stellar Health:

Historically, US Healthcare has relied on a fee-for-service reimbursement system where providers are paid based on the quantity of patient visits and procedures, rather than the quality of health outcomes.

At Stellar Health, we help primary care providers put patient health first. Our platform - a mix of technology, people, and analytics - supports providers at the point of care, delivering real-time patient information, activating practice staff, and empowering providers and care teams with incentives that reward the work they are already doing to keep patients healthy. Using the Stellar App, our web-based, point-of-care tool; practices receive a simple checklist of recommended actions that support the best quality care. Providers and care teams are then paid monthly for each action they complete, and Payors save money in reduced healthcare costs along the way.

Stellar is a US-based Health-tech backed by Top VCs (General Atlantic, Point72, & Primary Venture Partners)​​ with an established product & proven operating model. We’ve shown that we make a real difference for physician practices and their patients.

About the position:

Stellar Health is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our team. Reporting to the Senior Manager, DevOps, you will collaborate daily with fellow DevOps engineers and cross-functional engineering teams to build a scalable, high-performing foundation.

Our team exists to enable product engineering teams to deliver reliable, secure, and high-quality software quickly and safely. We build the foundation of our engineering organization, providing a delivery platform, shared infrastructure, architectural standards, and technical guidance. Our mission is to provide a stable, scalable, and secure internal platform that empowers engineering teams to self-serve infrastructure, deploy confidently, and operate production systems with high reliability.

We apply DevOps principles, collaboration, automation, and shared ownership, but we don't own product features or business logic. Our role is to remove friction, improve reliability, and scale engineering effectiveness.

How you'll make an impact:

• As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will take end-to-end ownership of core platform initiatives, mentor junior engineers, and partner cross-functionally across Engineering, Data, and Product.

• AWS & Infrastructure as Code: Design and maintain HIPAA-compliant, multi-account AWS infrastructure using Terraform and Terragrunt with a strict GitOps mindset.

• CI/CD & Deployments: Build resilient GitHub Actions pipelines and implement safe release strategies (e.g., Blue/Green, automated rollbacks) for Python/Django applications.

• Service Reliability & Scaling: Ensure high availability, automated backups, and version upgrades for core data stores, including Postgres, ElastiCache (Redis), and OpenSearch.

• Observability & Incident Response: Mature full-stack Datadog/CloudWatch telemetry, refine on-call workflows, lead blameless postmortems, and drive key metrics (MTTR, deployment frequency).

• Automated Security: Enforce least-privilege access and automated security guardrails across AWS, database layers, and GitHub.

• Developer Enablement: Create paved-path tooling and self-serve infrastructure that reduce friction, shorten test cycles, and lower cognitive load for product teams.

• Technical Leadership: Author clear design docs, conduct thorough code reviews, mentor team members, and proactively identify operational risks before they impact production.
