DevOps Engineer

About the Role We are seeking an experienced Infrastructure / DevOps Engineer to own and evolve the cloud infrastructure behind our HIPAA-compliant healthcare document processing platform. Our stack is AWS-native and PHI-handling, built on PHP 8.3 / Symfony, React, Aurora MySQL, and MongoDB. It is a distributed system composed of many microservices tied together by a central REST API that are each deployed and scaled independently. You will design, automate, secure, and troubleshoot the systems that keep a multi-tenant, compliance-sensitive platform running reliably. The ideal candidate is deeply comfortable in Linux environments, thinks in automation and infrastructure-as-code, and treats security and compliance as first-class concerns rather than afterthoughts. What You'll Do Own the reliability, performance, and security of our AWS production environment (EC2, ALB, Aurora MySQL, S3, ECS, CloudWatch, SNS, IAM, VPC). Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for PHP/Symfony and React applications, from commit through production promotion, including automated security gates (Aikido) that block vulnerable builds before they ship. Stand up and mature our infrastructure-as-code practice — provisioning and configuration currently managed directly, with room to own the migration to a codified, repeatable model. Build and tune centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting across CloudWatch and Datadog so issues surface before customers notice them; help drive our ongoing Datadog rollout. Manage container workloads (Docker on ECS), including our specialized FreeSWITCH fax/telephony containers. Own the infrastructure that our distributed system of independently scaled microservices runs on — per-service ECS auto-scaling, load balancing, and resource right-sizing for both horizontal and vertical scaling. Understand how the stateless services behave and partner closely with engineering on their scaling, deployment, and performance. Support database reliability and performan
