About Stellar Health:
Historically, US Healthcare has relied on a fee-for-service reimbursement system where providers are paid based on the quantity of patient visits and procedures, rather than the quality of health outcomes. At Stellar Health, we help primary care providers put patient health first. Our platform - a mix of technology, people, and analytics - supports providers at the point of care, delivering real-time patient information, activating practice staff, and empowering providers and care teams with incentives that reward the work they are already doing to keep patients healthy.
About the position:
Stellar Health is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our team. Reporting to the Senior Manager, DevOps, you will collaborate daily with fellow DevOps engineers and cross-functional engineering teams to build a scalable, high-performing foundation. Our team exists to enable product engineering teams to deliver reliable, secure, and high-quality software quickly and safely. We build the foundation of our engineering organization, providing a delivery platform, shared infrastructure, architectural standards, and technical guidance.
How you'll make an impact:
- AWS & Infrastructure as Code: Design and maintain HIPAA-compliant, multi-account AWS infrastructure using Terraform and Terragrunt with a strict GitOps mindset.
- CI/CD & Deployments: Build resilient GitHub Actions pipelines and implement safe release strategies (e.g., Blue/Green, automated rollbacks) for Python/Django applications.
- Service Reliability & Scaling: Ensure high availability, automated backups, and version upgrades for core data stores, including Postgres, ElastiCache (Redis), and OpenSearch.
- Observability & Incident Response: Mature full-stack Datadog/CloudWatch telemetry, refine on-call workflows, lead blameless postmortems, and drive key metrics (MTTR, deployment frequency).
- Automated Security: Enforce least-privilege access and automated security guardrails across AWS, database layers, and GitHub.
- Developer Enablement: Create paved-path tooling and self-serve infrastructure that reduce friction, shorten test cycles, and lower cognitive load for product teams.
- Technical Leadership: Author clear design docs, conduct thorough code reviews, mentor team members, and proactively identify operational risks before they impact production.
What you'll bring:
- 5-8 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, platform engineering or related role, including hands-on ownership of production cloud infrastructure.
- Deep familiarity with AWS services (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, S3, IAM, VPC, and others), multi-account AWS architecture, and HIPAA/compliance-aware infrastructure patterns.
- Strong IaC skills - Terraform and/or Terragrunt in a production environment, including state management and drift detection.
- Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar), including safe deployment patterns like Blue/Green.
- Solid scripting ability in Python and/or Bash.
- Demonstrated experience with observability platforms (Datadog, CloudWatch, or equivalent).
- Familiarity with database operations (Postgres, Redis) in a production context.
