Job Description:

We’re looking for motivated individuals familiar with the architecture and maintenance of scalable, distributed systems, data flows, and API usage and integration.

Technological generalists who feel the need to learn the ins and outs of everything they encounter will thrive in this position. If autonomy, open-ended challenges, and designing large-scale software systems sound good to you, this is the perfect opportunity to take your career to the next level.

We have offices in San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Barbara, and are considering candidates for all three offices, as well as remote.

RESPONSIBILITIES The DevOps Team is responsible for the architecture, development, deployment, and operation of our systems. Collectively, the DevOps Team bears final responsibility for the security and health of our systems and of the data we store and process. You will be expected to share on-call duty with the rest of the DevOps Team and engineering staff. In this role, you will help build scalable and cost-effective pipelines to handle millions of real-time events while ensuring data security at all times. You will coordinate automatic deployment of machines, databases, and user access, develop disaster recovery programs, and provide assistance to development teams looking to make their software deployable, operable, and secure. You will help us make our distributed platform as reliable and scalable as it can be. As a member of the DevOps team you’ll be an equal partner in a team whose work involves every part of the organization and is essential to Evidation Health’s everyday operation and success.
