• Collaborate with development teams to optimize deployment pipelines and CI/CD processes
• Mentor junior engineers and drive technical excellence across the organization
• Partner with product and medical teams to understand requirements and deliver scalable solutions

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven experience in designing and implementing scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, networking, and cloud architecture principles
• Expertise in observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) and troubleshooting complex systems
• Strong leadership skills with experience mentoring engineers and driving technical strategy
• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Solid understanding of security best practices for cloud infrastructure
• Track record of building and maintaining highly available systems
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
