We're looking for a senior backend engineer to own the server side and cloud infrastructure for a secure healthcare mobile app. This is the person who stands up our AWS environment correctly on day one, moves us off a single VPS, and closes our HIPAA gap. The app serves healthcare field representatives who need secure workflows for managing documents, profile information, status visibility, and access-related functionality. You'll own the API, the cloud migration, and the security foundation the rest of the product depends on. What you'll own: - Backend/API: Python + async FastAPI, PostgreSQL + SQLAlchemy, Redis + background jobs, keeping business logic in the API (thin-client pattern) - AWS/DevOps: migrating off a single VPS to AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, ElastiCache, S3), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or CDK), CI/CD, secrets management, observability - A well-architected AWS landing zone with separate non-prod and prod environments (no real customer/PII data in non-prod) - Amazon Bedrock migration so document parsing is HIPAA-covered - Security: secure document handling, auth/session workflows, least-privilege IAM, encryption, audit logging - Building with SOC 2 in mind from day one Must have: - Python with async web frameworks (FastAPI strongly preferred) - PostgreSQL and an ORM with real migration experience (SQLAlchemy a plus) - Hands-on AWS: ECS/Fargate or equivalent, RDS, S3, IAM, Secrets Manager - Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or CDK) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions) - Security fundamentals: token auth, secrets handling, least-privilege IAM Strongly preferred: - Redis / background job queues - HIPAA or other regulated-data experience (PHI, encryption at rest/in flight, audit logging) - Amazon Bedrock or other LLM-API integration experience - Docker / containerization

The main purpose of this six month contract-to-hire position is to help us migrate our existing Amazon workloads from the EC2 Autoscaling group / Instance / CodeDeploy pattern to the EKS / ECR / Helm Pattern. This will include networking changes to support both ASG and EKS based deployments in parallel. We expect a "systems-architect" mindset where you proactively design the health, observability, and long-term technical integrity of the entire EKS stack to support high-performance workloads. - Architect, build, and maintain greenfield Kubernetes (EKS) infrastructure designed for high availability and elastic scalability. - Develop and implement advanced Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates to standardize deployment and configuration management across AWS. - Engineer and optimize automated CI/CD Buildkite pipelines to facilitate rapid deployment cycles and ensure high-performance infrastructure reliability. - Implement comprehensive observability frameworks using CloudWatch and New Relic monitoring tools to proactively manage Kubernetes system health and performance. - If this moves into a full time role, participate in on-call rotations to maintain platform integrity and uptime.
