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
