In the journey of your life, your career should make a difference.

At Inizio Evoke, we come together—to do the best work, in the best possible place. We're all in. Because it's everyone's role to make health more human™.

About the Role

We're looking for a DevOps engineer who takes genuine pride in keeping production systems healthy, secure, and humming. You'll own the infrastructure behind a cutting-edge agentic AI platform — from day-to-day operations to architectural decisions — and operate as a trusted peer on a collaborative platform team. This is a hands-on individual contributor role; the Director title reflects the scope of ownership and independence we expect, not the size of a team you'll manage.

This is a fully remote opportunity.

What You'll Do

Operations & Reliability

  • Support, monitor, and operate a production agentic AI platform running on AWS
  • Ensure all services are up, responsive, and scaling appropriately under real-world load
  • Own incident response end-to-end — triage, resolve, document, and follow through on prevention
  • Manage infrastructure across multiple AWS accounts spanning production and non-production environments
  • Lead release management and weekly operational rituals to ensure enhancements reach production smoothly

Infrastructure & Automation

  • Infrastructure as code is the way — we're a team that builds, deploys, and evolves everything through automation.
  • Research and evaluate new solutions to cloud infrastructure challenges; bring recommendations, not just options
  • Enforce engineering best practices with conviction — you understand why doing it right matters, even when shortcuts are tempting
  • Take rough direction, identify and propose solutions, gather feedback, and ship

Security & Compliance

  • Monitor security tooling and participate in security scans and vulnerability reviews
  • Ensure the platform stays compliant with security and data protection requirements
  • Treat compliance as an engineering concern, not a checkbox exercise

Collaboration & Process

  • Manage a backlog, track work in flight, and report progress clearly and regularly to stakeholders
  • Collaborate with the platform development team on changes and deployments — you're a peer at the table, not a downstream recipient
  • Participate actively in agile ceremonies: daily standups, sprint planning, and sprint reviews/closures
  • Partner with the platform development on sprint priorities, product backlog, and cross-team dependencies.
  • Surface issues early and proactively; the team shouldn't have to ask how things are going

What You'll Bring

Experience

  • 8+ years of hands-on DevOps or platform engineering experience at senior or staff/director level
  • Demonstrated ownership of production SaaS environments — you've been the person on the hook when things break
  • A track record of making sound, independent infrastructure decisions without creating downstream chaos

Technical

  • Deep AWS expertise, including multi-account management and production SaaS environments
  • Infrastructure as Code fluency in Terraform, AWS CDK, or both
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals — writes production-quality code in Python and TypeScript
  • Automation-first instincts — uses software to eliminate manual work and prevent future toil
  • Serverless infrastructure experience
  • Centralized logging and log management at scale
  • Metrics, monitoring, alerting, and reporting tooling
  • Experience with structured release management processes

Ways of Working

  • Highly organized — you run a backlog, track commitments, and communicate status without being asked
  • Proactive by default — you surface problems early and come with a proposed path forward
  • Comfortable in ambiguity — you can take rough direction and figure out the rest
  • Intellectually honest — you share your opinion clearly, then fully support the group's decision
  • Deeply aware of the cost of complexity — you know that complexity can be moved, but it's rarely erased; every decision to add it is a decision you're willing to own long-term
  • You treat engineering as a craft; this work should feel meaningful, not mechanical
