Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled DevOps Engineer to design, build, and manage scalable, secure, and compliant infrastructure for healthcare automation systems. The ideal candidate has strong experience in cloud-native systems, CI/CD, observability, and API-driven architectures, and is comfortable working with SMART on FHIR integrations, payer APIs, and event-driven workflows within MPP environments.
Key Responsibilities
1. Cloud Infrastructure & Deployment
• Design cloud-native, multi-tenant infrastructure on Azure/AWS using microservices and event-driven architecture patterns
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform with modular reusable components and policy enforcement
• Build internal developer platforms (IDP) enabling self-service environment provisioning
• Manage container orchestration with Kubernetes (AKS/EKS) including autoscaling, service mesh (Istio), and resilience patterns
2. CI/CD & Release Engineering
• Implement GitOps-based deployment strategies using tools like ArgoCD or Flux
• Automate build, test, and deployment processes
• Enable progressive delivery (canary, blue-green) and automated rollback mechanisms
• Automate pipelines with integrated security scans (SAST, DAST)
• Support multi-environment pipelines for SMART on FHIR applications
• Ensure safe and reliable releases with rollback strategies
3. API & Integration Enablement
• Support integration with:
o FHIR APIs (SMART on FHIR)
o Payer APIs (FHIR / X12 278)
• Enable secure API orchestration and gateway management
• Design and manage API gateways (Azure API Management / Kong) with rate limiting, throttling, and authentication policies
• Implement resilient API patterns including retries, circuit breakers, and fallback strategies
• Ensure secure and scalable SMART on FHIR and payer API integrations
• Manage API lifecycle including versioning and governance
4. Observability & Reliability
• Implement distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry across microservices
• Correlate logs, metrics, and traces for end-to-end workflow visibility
• Define SLOs/SLIs for key services and automate alerting based on error budgets
• Build observability dashboards for real-time monitoring of PA workflows and system health
5. Security & Compliance
• Implement policy-as-code using tools like OPA (Open Policy Agent) for governance and compliance
• Design HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with encryption, audit logging, and access controls
• Manage secrets using Azure Key Vault / AWS Secrets Manager
• Integrate identity management with OAuth2, OIDC, and zero-trust architecture
6. Event-Driven Architecture
• Build and maintain event-driven pipelines for EHR triggers and downstream workflows • Support messaging systems (Kafka, Event Hub) • Ensure reliable event delivery and processing
• Design event-driven pipelines using Kafka/Event Hub with schema evolution and versioning
• Implement reliable event processing with idempotency, retries, and dead-letter queues
• Support event sourcing patterns for auditability and replay capability
7. Platform Engineering & Developer Experience
• Build internal developer platforms to streamline microservice deployment and management
• Enable self-service infrastructure provisioning and observability tooling
• Standardize templates for services, pipelines, and deployments
8. AI/ML Ops
• Support deployment and monitoring of AI/ML models (MLOps/LLMOps)
• Integrate model inference services into microservices workflows
