AWS Deployment & HIPAA-Compliant Infrastructure Setup — Healthcare Website

We are a husband-and-wife orthodontic practice (Ascend Orthodontics) based in Colorado, looking for an experienced AWS DevOps engineer to deploy our existing website and establish a fully HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure. The codebase is currently maintained across a local machine and a GitHub repository. The site has been built using Claude Code and is ready for deployment. We are not looking for any front-end development work — although oversite on current code would be appreciated. We need someone to take it across the finish line and set it up correctly on AWS. What we need: -Pull the existing codebase from GitHub and deploy it to AWS (EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, or equivalent — open to your recommendation based on our stack) -Configure a secure, production-ready environment including SSL/TLS certificates and custom domain setup -Set up HIPAA-compliant infrastructure including IAM roles and least-privilege access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, VPC network isolation, CloudTrail audit logging, and S3 bucket security policies -Ensure AWS services used are covered under a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) — we will execute the BAA with AWS directly, but the developer must be familiar with which services qualify -Configure basic monitoring and alerting via AWS CloudWatch -Deliver clean documentation of the architecture so we can maintain and hand off as needed What we're looking for in a candidate: -AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional) strongly preferred -Demonstrated experience deploying HIPAA-compliant infrastructure — please describe a specific healthcare project in your proposal -Comfortable working from an existing GitHub repo with minimal handholding -Strong communication and ability to explain compliance decisions in plain language -U.S.-based or U.S. time zone preferred given the compliance sensitivity Project type: Fixed scope, one-time engagement with potential for ongoing support To apply: Please briefly describe a HIPAA or healthcare-related AWS project you've completed, the services you used, and your approach to compliance documentation.
