About the Role

As a DevOps Engineer at Inspiren, you'll play a pivotal role in the design, deployment, and operation of our cloud-based infrastructure. You'll drive automation, reliability, and security across CI/CD pipelines, serverless workloads, and edge services. You will partner closely with product, engineering, and clinical teams to accelerate feature delivery, optimize costs, and support continued rapid growth, all while ensuring 24/7 reliability and observability.

The primary focus of this role is to improve developer productivity and the end-to-end software delivery lifecycle at Inspiren. This is essential for accelerating engineering velocity, enabling faster feedback loops, and building a foundation for scalable, reliable releases.

What you'll do

• Infrastructure Management: Ensure the scalability and reliability of our cloud-based infrastructure.  Troubleshoot issues and implement backups and disaster recovery.  Align capacity with growth and development needs, with an eye towards cost-efficiency.
• CI/CD & Releases:  Design, implement, and optimize pipelines to automate builds, tests, and deployments across development, staging, and production environments.  Assist in developing robust rollback procedures and runbooks for handling failed deployments. Continuously assess and enhance our deployment automation processes to maintain efficiency and reliability.
• Automated Quality: Implement and enforce a comprehensive automated testing strategy within the CI/CD pipeline. This involves configuring quality gates to ensure code meets a minimum test coverage threshold, integrating static analysis tools to maintain code quality and security, integrating testing frameworks to run unit and integration tests for every change, and building dashboards to provide visibility into test failures and pipeline health.
• Observability & Incident Response:  Build and operate monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., CloudWatch, Sentry) to detect issues early, participate in on-call rotations, and drive post-mortem analyses.
• Security & Compliance:  Enforce security best practices within our cloud infrastructure and educate team members on security protocols and incident response. Guarantee compliance with HIPAA and safeguard customer data through robust access controls and strategies.
