Meet the team:

Our team is a dynamic mix of tech enthusiasts, problem solvers, and creative thinkers, united by our passion for leveraging cutting-edge technology to transform healthcare and empower our customers to take real-time control of their health.

Where you come in:

As a Senior Staff DevOps Engineer specializing in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), your role is pivotal in designing, implementing, and optimizing primarily GCP-based solutions that leverage the discipline of Infrastructure as Code and the flexibility of the cloud to meet the organization's needs. We believe the best way to learn is sharing knowledge, so mentorship, documentation, communication, and knowledge sharing your experience with GCP and IaC is a core part of this position.

Your duties typically include:

Architecting Solutions: You will be responsible for designing robust and scalable architectures on GCP to support the organization's applications and services. This involves understanding business requirements; complex, multi-cloud and facility networking and interconnects; evaluating cloud services across GCP, Azure, and AWS; and designing solutions that meet performance, reliability, and cost requirements.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Implementing Infrastructure as Code practices using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or Google Cloud Deployment Manager to automate the provisioning and management of resources across our cloud platforms.

Serverless Technologies: You will leverage serverless technologies to build scalable and cost-effective solutions. This includes designing and implementing serverless architectures using tools like Google Cloud Functions and AWS Lambda, optimizing serverless workflows, and ensuring seamless integration with other cloud services.

Expertise in GKE and Kubernetes: You will demonstrate expertise in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Kubernetes, helping the team design and implement a containerization strategy, and manage containerized platforms to ensure high availability and scalability. This includes configuring and optimizing GKE clusters, implementing best practices for Kubernetes management, and troubleshooting issues within the Kubernetes environment.

Cloud Networking and Security at the Edge: You will design and implement secure and efficient cloud networking solutions. This includes configuring virtual networks, managing network security groups, implementing cloud firewalls, and ensuring compliance with security standards. You will also be responsible for monitoring and optimizing network performance, troubleshooting network issues, and collaborating with security teams to ensure robust security measures are in place.

Performance, FinOps, and Cost Optimization: Continuously monitoring and optimizing the performance of cloud systems to ensure optimal resource utilization, scalability, and reliability. Identify and report on bottlenecks, wasted resources, and expenditures; tune configurations; and implement best practices to improve system performance in a financially responsible manner.

Security and Compliance: Implementing security best practices and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR) in cloud environments. This involves configuring identity and access management, network security, encryption, and auditing/logging solutions to protect data and resources.

Collaboration and Documentation: Collaborating with cross-functional teams including developers, operations, and security teams, to ensure alignment on architecture decisions and implementation strategies. Documenting design decisions, configurations, and procedures to facilitate knowledge sharing and future troubleshooting.

Overall, as a Senior Staff DevOps Engineer who specializes in GCP, your role is crucial in designing and maintaining reliable, scalable, and secure cloud-based systems that enable the organization to leverage the full potential of our cloud platforms.
