Site Reliability Engineer

Tittle: SRE Engineer

Location: Remote

Visa: USC W2 Position

Role: Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) – Operations, AWS, MERN, and Data Focus. The position supports healthcare production systems and emphasizes operational reliability, cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, and automation.

Key Focus Areas

Maintain availability, performance, scalability, and resilience of AWS-hosted healthcare applications and data platforms. 

Balance work between:

~60% operations: incident response, production support, data pipeline operations, and infrastructure tuning.

~40% engineering: building automation and eliminating operational toil. 

Primary Responsibilities

Operate and support AWS-based MERN applications and backend data systems. 

Manage AWS Lambda serverless workloads, including performance optimization and troubleshooting. 

Monitor and support PySpark data pipelines, including failure recovery and job reruns. 

Participate in on-call rotations and resolve production incidents. 

Maintain compliance with healthcare security standards including HIPAA, SOC2, and HITRUST. 

Build monitoring, dashboards, and alerts for Node.js applications and Spark workloads. 

Lead blameless post-mortems and implement permanent fixes. 

Required Technical Skills

4+ years operating cloud-hosted or cloud-native SaaS platforms. 

Strong AWS experience, specifically:

Lambda

ECS/EKS

EMR or AWS Glue

EC2

VPC

IAM

CloudWatch

Programming and automation using:

Python (including PySpark)

Node.js

Experience with:

ETL and data orchestration pipelines

Messaging systems such as SQS, SNS, or RabbitMQ

Distributed data processing environments

MERN stack operational expertise, including Node.js performance and memory management. 

Database administration experience with MySQL and Athena.

Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or OpenTofu.

Preferred Qualifications

Healthcare industry experience, especially HIPAA-regulated environments.

Experience securing healthcare data and handling sensitive patient information.

At least 4 years of software/systems experience, with 1-2 years focused on cloud operations and distributed data workflows.

Strong troubleshooting, incident management, and stakeholder communication skills.

Overall Assessment

This is primarily an operations-focused SRE role rather than a pure software engineering position. The ideal candidate would be someone with AWS cloud operations experience, strong Python/Node.js skills, hands-on data pipeline support (PySpark/ETL), and experience running production SaaS systems in a regulated healthcare environment. The emphasis is on reliability, incident response, automation, observability, and cloud infrastructure operations.
