This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Sr. DevOps Engineer (AWS / Terraform) based in the United States.
This role sits at the core of a high-throughput DevOps function supporting a healthcare technology platform operating on AWS. You will be responsible for managing the continuous flow of infrastructure-related work coming from multiple engineering teams, ensuring requests, fixes, and reviews are executed quickly and accurately. The position is highly operational and execution-focused, centered on Terraform-driven infrastructure, PR reviews, and resolving day-to-day platform issues rather than long-term architecture ownership. You will work embedded within an Agile scrum team, collaborating closely with engineers to unblock deployments, stabilize environments, and maintain system reliability. This is a fast-paced, interrupt-driven environment where responsiveness, precision, and strong AWS fundamentals are critical. It is ideal for an experienced DevOps engineer who enjoys hands-on problem-solving and keeping complex cloud systems running smoothly.
