Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, platform, or security engineering roles
- Deep hands-on experience with:
- AWS core services (EC2, RDS, ECS/EKS, IAM, etc.)
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent)
- CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred)
- Kubernetes or equivalent container orchestration tools
- Strong grasp of infrastructure and application security practices
- Experience supporting regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST, etc.)

- Proven success in high-autonomy, small-team, or startup environments
What the job involves
- Heartbeat Health is looking for a Principal DevSecOps Engineer to own and evolve the systems that underpin our ability to build, secure, and scale our virtual-first cardiovascular care platform
- This is a hands-on, high-impact role
- You’ll design and enforce the systems and guardrails that enable our teams to move quickly - without compromising security or stability
- Working closely with engineering, compliance, and leadership, you’ll shape how we think about security, reliability, and velocity. That means designing and hardening our AWS foundation, leveling up our SDLC, and directly raising the bar on how quickly - and safely - we deliver cardiac care at scale
- Level-Up Our CI/CD: Improve GitHub Actions pipelines to improve build speed, consistency, and visibility across teams
- Architect and Automate Infrastructure: Design and evolve our AWS infrastructure using Terraform and modern IaC best practices
- Own Observability: Improve logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting across services (Datadog, etc.) to ensure systems are understandable, debuggable, and transparent
- Lead Security Practices: Define and enforce best practices for cloud and application security; partner with engineering to embed security into our development lifecycle
- Support Compliance: Partner with compliance and leadership to ensure HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II readiness, including evidence generation and audit support
- Be the SME: Serve as the go-to expert for all things DevOps, platform security, and cloud infrastructure
- Set Direction: Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to define technical strategy, roadmap, and investments in platform reliability and security
Our take
Cardiovascular disease is the biggest killer in the States, and it costs the US economy over $500 billion annually. So, it is no wonder that research and innovation in this field continue apace. Heartbeat Health is part of this wave - it is a telecardiology startup offering remote monitoring tools and video consultations to aggregate clinical data and fine-tune care for heart patients.
Healthcare services have seen a pronounced customer pivot toward virtual telehealth, a trend that has exaggerated in recent years and is particularly beneficial to the United States market. Nearly 80% of rural America is considered medically underserved by brick-and-mortar sites, so there is a potentially vast customer base to play for.
Off the back of 2024 funding, Heartbeat Health is astutely investing in the enhancement of clinical services, accelerating its growth and expanding access to more customers.
