Director of Cloud Architecture & Platform Engineering (Remote)

Healthmap Solutions is hiring a Director of Cloud Architecture & Platform Engineering to architect and build its cloud and platform systems while leading a team of engineers. The role focuses on scalable clinical-data infrastructure, platform strategy, and security and compliance for healthcare workloads.

Responsibilities:

• Act as the primary architect for our cloud environment, personally designing the systems that handle high-volume clinical data and PHI
• Building out CI/CD templates, refining our Kubernetes service mesh, migrating legacy cloud platform to a future PaaS (Platform as a Service) model
• Rapidly prototype new platform features—such as automated compliance monitoring or developer self-service portals—before handing them off to the team for scaling
• Act as a hands-on escalation point for complex architectural issues or critical production incidents, providing "in-the-trenches" technical leadership
• Sustain cloud and platform environments commensurate with “clean” environment, free of vulnerabilities, legacy code, and legacy architecture practices
• Manage and mentor a specialized team of cloud and platform engineers. Conduct code reviews not just for quality, but as teaching moments to elevate the team’s skill sets
• Define the "Platform-as-a-Product" vision, ensuring every technical initiative directly accelerates our product's time-to-value for healthcare partners
• Partner with the Security and Compliance teams to automate HIPAA and HITRUST requirements, turning "check-box compliance" into "automated guardrails."
• Oversee the cloud budget with a surgical eye, implementing automated cost-saving measures without sacrificing performance or reliability
• Perform other duties as assigned

Requirements:

• 5-8+ years in Cloud/Infrastructure Engineering
• at least 3-5 years in a leadership role (Lead, Manager, or Director) within a scale-up environment
• Deep, hands-on experience managing infrastructure within HIPAA, HITRUST, or SOC2 environments
• Experience taking a platform from "early-stage scrappy" to "enterprise-grade robust" with scaling capability
• Operate as a direct partner to application engineering and data engineering teams, serving as an expert with cloud capabilities
• Expert-level proficiency in Kubernetes (EKS/AKS) and Infrastructure as Code for automation
• Mastery of automation tools to create seamless deployment workflows
• Advanced knowledge of architecting secure network topologies
• Deep understanding of IAM and Service Control Policies (SCPs) to enforce the principle of least privilege across a multi-account organization
• Skill in using cloud financial management tooling to balance high performance with budget management
