About this role
Waymark is a mission-driven team working to transform care for people with Medicaid benefits. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will own projects from design through delivery, ensuring the reliability of systems and mentoring junior engineers while collaborating with software and data teams.
Responsibilities:
- Build, deploy, and maintain scalable, highly available systems on AWS
- Own CI/CD pipelines and drive improvements to deployment automation
- Own and evolve infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible
- Research new tools and technologies, develop proofs of concept, and introduce validated practices to the team
- Improve system reliability — sharpen alerting, build out runbooks, and deepen observability across our stack (Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Tempo)
- Participate in an on-call rotation; off-hours incidents are rare thanks to extensive automation and self-healing — occasional evening work is limited to planned maintenance and system upgrades
- Maintain process documentation, operational runbooks, and infrastructure diagrams
- Help maintain and manage systems for other teams
- Raise the DevOps literacy of the engineering team — mentoring junior engineers and helping non-infrastructure engineers build good practices around deployments, observability, and reliability
- Collaborate with engineering teams on infrastructure design decisions
Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience designing, implementing, and operating highly available, fault-tolerant systems in cloud environments
- Hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, ECR, CloudFront, Route 53, etc)
- Experience with containerization and workload orchestration (Docker, Nomad)
- Proficiency with infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, Ansible)
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD practices including automated testing and deployment automation
- Strong Linux and shell/bash scripting skills
- Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and messaging systems (RabbitMQ)
- Experience working in a regulated or compliance-driven environment (e.g. HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI, FedRAMP)
- Experience with service mesh and secrets management (Consul, Vault)
- Experience with data platforms and pipelines (dBt, SageMaker, Redshift)
- Experience with networking and DNS
- Experience with image building and provisioning automation (Packer)
- Programming experience (Python, Elixir, TypeScript)
- Exposure to Google Cloud (GCP)
