Job Description

A healthcare client is looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to work remote. This team is building a cloud‑native SaaS platform within a well‑funded, startup‑style environment, currently focused on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with AWS coming online soon as the platform scales. This is a hands‑on cloud engineering role suited for someone who thrives in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments and can operate as a “jack of all trades,” shifting priorities as needed to keep delivery on track. The engineer will build, scale, and support the SaaS platform; design and maintain cloud infrastructure primarily in GCP with upcoming AWS expansion; drive automation and Infrastructure as Code initiatives; and support large Kubernetes (GKE) environments. The role also involves close collaboration with internal engineers and external vendors to deliver and transition cloud environments, ensure security, compliance, and scalability requirements are met, and continue internal development as vendor engagement ramps and key milestones are reached.
