Senior DevOps Engineer

About The Role

Eko Health is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to maintain and evolve the infrastructure, CI/CD, and deployment systems that support our cloud services and mobile applications. The role also carries meaningful SRE and SecOps responsibilities.

Today, AWS infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines are handled by the engineering team itself. You would become the person the team turns to for deployments and for keeping servers running. You will help define processes, build security and reliability into our AWS infrastructure and delivery pipelines, and act as one of the first lines of defense when critical events and issues arise.

The work centers on backend infrastructure and DevOps, mostly with Terraform. You will stay closely connected to backend application development, databases, and APIs. That work supports Eko's hardware, software, and AI products in human and veterinary health.

Early Projects & Initiatives

• Mature and upgrade the deployment pipeline.

• Ensure cloud infrastructure continues to go through the appropriate security processes.

• Codify shared infrastructure knowledge into documented practices, including runbooks and system design decisions.

About The Team

You will join a team of 5 engineers reporting to a team lead. The team consists of full-stack engineers, with some focusing on backend and others on frontend. The team has shared AWS, CI, and CD responsibilities. This hire will take on that ownership and collaborate with engineers handling those areas.

Essential Functions

• Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, cloud security posture, and observability monitors/alerts using infrastructure-as-code frameworks and best practices.

• Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines to build, test, artifact, and deploy continuously merged code.

• Build self-service tooling and paved paths to enable downstream engineers to ship without infrastructure expertise.

• Upgrade security and vulnerability scanning into the CI/CD layer and help coordinate the triaging of deficiencies.

• Harden the software supply chain with artifact signing, SBOM generation, and properly configured build runners.

• Partner with security/compliance on audits and evidence collection for SOC2/HIPAA/ISO 27001 as applicable.

• Participate in incident responses leading to blameless postmortems with tracked follow-ups.

• Mentor engineers on operational and secure-development practices.

• Contribute to architecture views with a reliability, operability, and security perspective.

• Help document runbooks, playbooks, threat-model notes, and system design decisions.

• Other duties as assigned.

Note: Job duties may change at any time with or without notice.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in DevOps, platform, or infrastructure engineering, including ownership of customer-facing systems.

• Deep experience with at least one major cloud provider and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices in a team setting.

• Strong proficiency in a scripting/programming language (Python, Go, Bash).

• Hands-on experience with container orchestration and CI/CD systems.

• Working knowledge of cloud IAM and network security fundamentals.

• Practical SRE experience.

• Experience with Linux internals, networking, and debugging distributed systems under pressure.

• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

• Expected travel is less than 10%.

Preferred Qualifications

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).

• Experience in a startup or high-growth environment, preferably in a regulated environment.

• Experience supporting audit cycles.

• Threat modeling or offensive-security exposure (e.g., CTFs, pentest collaboration, bug bounty triage).

• Database operations experience.

• Experience with service mesh, progressive delivery, and chaos engineering.
