About GoJoe

GoJoe is the AI-powered health intelligence platform for global enterprise. It brings every health benefit into one place, routes people to the help they need, and rewards healthier living. Leaders get a live view of workforce health across every market. Employees get a better experience. Employers get better return on the money they already spend.

Know more. Spend smarter. Perform better.

We are deployed in 150+ countries and trusted by global organisations including Diageo, McLaren Automotive, Heineken, NatWest and PwC. We are ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant and HIPAA-aligned, and our AI is developed alongside researchers at Stanford University.

We are experiencing significant growth with US-headquartered global enterprise, and we are building the engineering team to match it.

The Opportunity

GoJoe runs on AWS - ECS, Terraform and Terragrunt, CircleCI, PostgreSQL and Redshift - across separate QA and production accounts. Deployments are only partly automated and much of the setup is undocumented.

This role exists to make releases safe, repeatable and understood. You will own the deployment pipeline end to end, and the infrastructure underneath it, at a point where four major enterprise clients go live inside a single quarter.

It is a deliberately separable role. You will build with the platform squad rather than through it, so the engineers currently delivering client commitments keep delivering them.

We are hiring a QA Automation Engineer alongside this role. You build and run the deployment pipeline; they build the automated tests that run inside it and decide whether a build can be promoted. The two of you will define where that line falls in your first weeks.

What makes this different

• Build it properly, once: the pipeline, the migrations and the documentation are yours to design rather than inherit
• Real scale: users in 150+ countries, enterprise populations going live in a single day
• Regulated by default: ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA-aligned, so reliability and auditability are the job, not an afterthought
• Technical ownership: you compare options, prove them and recommend. We expect proposals, not preferences
• Remote-first: flexible, async-friendly working in a distributed team

The Role

You will make our releases safe, repeatable and understood - automating what is manual, documenting what is undocumented, and owning the infrastructure our platform and our data warehouse run on.

What you'll do

• Build the automated deployment pipeline: automatic QA deployment, and promotion of the same tested artefact to production, with migrations, health checks and approval built in
• Automate schema migrations: as part of deployment, with locking, history and recovery
• Document the infrastructure: the existing estate, and keep it documented as it changes
• Set up environment separation: access control and configuration management
• Own the warehouse pipes: the infrastructure and reliability of replication from the main database to the warehouse, and propose a warehouse or lakehouse option
• Prove before you recommend: compare options and validate them with a small proof of concept
• Improve monitoring: reliability, scalability and cost
• Share on-call: with the team

Who You Are

You have run production systems where a bad release has consequences, and it shows in how you work. You automate rather than remember, you document as you go, and you would rather spend a day on a proof of concept than a week arguing from first principles.

You write well. A large part of this role is making technical problems clear to people who are not engineers, writing proposals and presenting plans, and you are comfortable doing that.

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Experience: 7+ years in DevOps, platform or SRE roles
• Production under scrutiny: operating production systems in a large or regulated organisation - change control, audits, on-call
• AWS: strong hands-on experience
• CI/CD and infrastructure as code: plus observability and security
• Reliability engineering: designing reliable deployments and recovery procedures
• Communication: strong written and verbal. You make technical problems clear, write proposals and present plans

Preferred

• Our stack: ECS, Terraform and Terragrunt, CircleCI, PostgreSQL, Redshift
• Data platforms: warehouse or lakehouse design and replication at scale
• Compliance: working under ISO 27001, GDPR or HIPAA-aligned controls
• Domain: interest or background in health, fitness or wellbeing products

What's On Offer

• Contractor basis:you invoice us; tax and contributions are yours to handle
• Leave: 25 days a year, plus recognised public holidays
• Fully remote: work from anywhere. We hire mainly in Romania, and consider strong applicants worldwide
• Equipment: full remote set-up provided
• Scope: you own the pipeline, the infrastructure and the documentation. Built once, built properly
• Work that matters: a product measurably improving people's health and wellbeing
