The Opportunity

We are partnering with a growth-stage company that builds virtual reality medical simulation software used to train physicians, nurses, paramedics and other allied health professionals. Its customer base has grown strongly year over year, and it is adding to its engineering team. The mission is to change how healthcare professionals train and to reduce harm from preventable medical errors.

As Senior DevOps Engineer, you own the reliability, security posture and continuous improvement of the cloud infrastructure and build systems. You set the standards for CI/CD, infrastructure as code and DevSecOps practice, and you lead on them across teams.

What You'll Own

Pipelines and infrastructure

• Lead DevOps initiatives and new deployments across cross-functional teams.
• Build and maintain secure pipelines for continuous integration and deployment.
• Maintain and modernize the existing GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines.
• Migrate the Terraform infrastructure as code to open-source Terraform, such as OpenTofu.

Security

• Remediate security findings across multiple AWS environments.
• Build DevSecOps principles into the existing CI/CD pipelines and AWS infrastructure.

Operations and people

• Monitor cloud applications for errors and troubleshoot performance issues.
• Report status on DevOps projects to cross-functional teams.
• Mentor engineers on DevOps and security practice.

What You Bring

• A B.S. in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent engineering experience.
• 7+ years designing and implementing continuous delivery or DevOps solutions in AWS, including lead or senior individual-contributor ownership of multi-account environments.
• 7+ years with repository management, code merge and quality checks, continuous integration and automated deployment using tools such as Git, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes and AWS ECS.
• 3+ years of hands-on cloud security and DevSecOps, including vulnerability management (Snyk, AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Inspector, Trivy), secrets management, and container and supply-chain security (image scanning, SBOMs, ECR, immutable tags).
• Container security in Docker: multi-stage builds, non-root users, distroless and minimal base images, image scanning, SBOMs and immutable registry tags.
• AWS IAM: least-privilege role design, OIDC identity federation, cross-account trust policies and Service Control Policies.
• Automation with shell scripting, webhooks and SQS.
• Use of AI tools such as Cursor or Claude in DevOps work.
• Strong remote communication and teamwork.
• Eligibility to work in the United States and permanent residence in the United States.

Who Gets Our Attention

None of these are required, and one or two will stand out. If you have relevant skills that are not listed, tell us.

• Building new dev environments for testing and staging.
• Supporting multiple IaC stacks across multiple AWS accounts.
• Web security and security remediation plans.
• Container orchestrators such as AWS ECS, EKS, Fargate and Lambda.
• NodeJS web app builds and deployments.
• AWS Security Specialty certification or equivalent security depth.
• Security certifications such as Security+, CISSP or CCSP.
• Technical work under HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2 or similar compliance frameworks.
• Running a vulnerability-management program with defined SLAs.
• AWS WAF, Shield, Network Firewall or VPC security controls.
• Unity3d build and deployment processes.

The Person

Your colleagues include clinicians, educators, content specialists, producers and engineers, all working toward the same mission. You care about that mission, and you want to work at a company that has reached its growth stage and still moves with a startup mindset. You lead through standards and mentoring, and you communicate clearly with a remote team.

Why This One?

The security posture and build systems are yours to own, with modernization work already defined: an infrastructure-as-code migration, pipeline modernization and DevSecOps built into live systems. The product trains the people who care for patients, and the customer base keeps growing.

Location

Remote, anywhere in the United States. Work is primarily during Pacific Time business hours, with on-call coverage for service outages and incidents.

Compensation

• USD $140,000 to $160,000 base salary, based on experience
