About the Role We are looking for a Platform / Infrastructure Engineer to build and scale a reliable, secure, and multi-tenant infrastructure for our AI-powered pharmaceutical platforms. You will be responsible for the "production-grade" backbone of our services, ensuring that our systems meet strict SOC2/HIPAA compliance standards while serving global pharmaceutical leaders. From implementing OpenTelemetry to automating zero-downtime deployments with Terraform, you will own the reliability and security of our entire cloud ecosystem. Key Responsibilities Observability & Monitoring: Establish a production-grade observability stack (OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing) to achieve a < 5 min mean-time-to-detection for incidents. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Implement automated provisioning and CI/CD pipelines (Terraform, GitHub Actions) for multi-tenant SaaS environments. Reliability Engineering: Own platform metrics, aiming for a 99.9% uptime SLA and < 500ms p95 API latency. Security & Compliance: Implement and maintain SOC2/HIPAA controls, managing secrets (AWS Secrets Manager),



IAM policies, and audit logging. Cost Optimization: Drive architectural improvements and right-sizing strategies to optimize AWS expenditure. Documentation: Create postmortems, runbooks, and architectural decision records (ADRs) to ensure team autonomy and operational excellence. Qualifications Required: AWS Mastery: 5+ years managing production infrastructure (ECS/Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront, VPC networking). Terraform Expertise: Deep experience with IaC patterns for multi-environment deployments (Dev/Staging/Prod). Containerization: Battle-tested experience managing Docker/ECS with a focus on auto-scaling and health checks. Incident Response: Real-world experience in on-call rotations and resolving live production outages. CI/CD & Automation: Solid experience implementing pipelines for monorepo applications (Nx experience is a plus). Security Mindset: Practical knowledge of least-privilege IAM, network isolation, and secrets management. Overlap: Ability to work with at least 4-6 hours of overlap with US East Coast (EST/EDT) business hours. Nice to Have: Snowflake administration (role management, query optimization). Python scripting for infra-automation. Experience with Kafka, Redis, or BullMQ queue infrastructure. Familiarity with dbt pipeline orchestration (Airflow/MWAA).
