About the Role:
Sensible Care is now hiring a Senior Cloud & Reliability Engineer who will maintain our current stack, lead our HIPAA compliance efforts, and architect and execute a migration to another cloud ecosystem. Our current infrastructure is primarily hosted on Linode across several Virtual Private Servers (VPS).
As we scale our business and platform, we are looking for an innovative Senior Cloud & Reliability Engineer who can manage this environment with excellence while preparing us for future needs.
Schedule: Mon-Fri 9am-6pm at our Headquarters located 1920 Main St, Irvine, CA 92614
What You'll Do:
- Infrastructure Management: Maintain and optimize our current Linode VPS environment, ensuring high availability and performance.
- Cloud Strategy & Migration: Conduct a "Build vs. Migrate" analysis. You will help us decide whether to stay on Linode, lead a transition to a provider like AWS, Azure, or GCP, or partner with a third-party compliance platform like Vaquito.
- Reliability & SRE: Implement SLIs/SLOs and automated monitoring for a VPS-heavy environment. You’ll be responsible for uptime, disaster recovery, and incident response.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Bring automation to our current setup to ensure our VPS instances are reproducible and secure.
Secondary & Cross-Functional Impact:
- Information Security (SecOps): Take ownership of our security posture. This includes hardening Linux servers, managing firewalls (Cloud Firewalls/IPtables), and ensuring encryption at rest and in transit.
- HIPAA Compliance: Ensure our infrastructure meets all regulatory requirements. You will be the technical lead for HIPAA audits and security documentation.
- Quality Assurance: Partner with developers to create automated staging environments and deployment "smoke tests" to reduce production bugs.
- Software Engineering (Minor): Interested in the codebase? We welcome your contributions to our core application or the development of custom internal tools to manage our infrastructure.
Requirements & Qualifications:
- Experience: 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Systems Administration.
- Systems: Deep expertise in Linux Administration (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS).
- Cloud Expertise: Experience with Linode (or similar VPS providers) AND at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
