Devops Engineer

Care Access works to make the future of health better and more accessible for all through clinical research, health services, partnerships, and technology. The DevOps Engineer will design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable cloud infrastructure and DevOps processes using Azure, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Docker, Terraform, and GitHub Actions. The role also focuses on monitoring, logging, security, automation, and collaboration across development and engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement secure, scalable cloud infrastructure solutions for data engineer team
• Design and implement secure, scalable cloud infrastructure solutions for application development team
• Implement continuous monitoring solutions and logging solutions to improve observability of the tech stack
• Cloud Infrastructure Management: Design, deploy, and manage cloud-based infrastructure on Microsoft Azure to support scalable and high-performance applications
• Azure Services: Leverage Azure cloud services such as Azure data stores, Azure containers, Azure log management solutions, Azure Entra, and Azure App Services to optimize application delivery
• Scalability and Performance: Architect infrastructure solutions to ensure scalability, ensuring systems can handle increasing load while maintaining performance. Implement auto-scaling policies and optimize cloud resource usage for cost and performance efficiency
• Data Engineering: Support and manage Databricks environments for big data processing, including the configuration of clusters, security, and integration with other cloud services
• Container Management: Utilize Docker for containerization, and deploy/manage containers through Azure containers, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or other orchestration tools
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Implement and manage infrastructure using Terraform, ensuring a scalable, repeatable, and version-controlled setup
• CI/CD Pipelines: Design, implement, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate build, test, and deployment processes
• Monitoring & Logging: Set up and manage comprehensive monitoring and logging solutions to ensure system performance, security, and availability
• Security: Design and enforce security practices for cloud infrastructure, containerized environments, and CI/CD pipelines. Implement Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies, network security controls, encryption, and vulnerability assessments to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access
• Collaboration: Work closely with software developers, system engineers, and other cross-functional teams to ensure DevOps practices are followed throughout the development lifecycle
• Continuous Improvement: Proactively suggest improvements to infrastructure, processes, and automation to improve system efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance performance
