Role
Who you are
- This is a role for someone who wants to do meaningful work at the intersection of technology and healthcare equity.Key Responsibilities
- 5+ years of experience designing, implementing, and operating highly available, fault-tolerant systems in cloud environments
- Hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, ECR, CloudFront, Route 53, etc)
- Experience with containerization and workload orchestration (Docker, Nomad)
- Proficiency with infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, Ansible)
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD practices including automated testing and deployment automation
- Strong Linux and shell/bash scripting skills
- Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and messaging systems (RabbitMQ)
- Experience working in a regulated or compliance-driven environment (e.g. HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI, FedRAMP)
- If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every preferred qualification in the job description, we encourage you to still consider submitting an application
Desirable
- Experience with service mesh and secrets management (Consul, Vault)
- Experience with data platforms and pipelines (dBt, SageMaker, Redshift)
- Experience with networking and DNS
- Experience with image building and provisioning automation (Packer)
- Programming experience (Python, Elixir, TypeScript)
- Exposure to Google Cloud (GCP)
What the job involves
- As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you'll own projects from design through delivery, working closely with software and data engineers to keep our systems (dBt, Redshift) reliable and our teams moving
- You communicate proactively, mentor junior engineers, and bring new ideas to the team — not just implementing what's asked, but helping shape how we build and operate
- Build, deploy, and maintain scalable, highly available systems on AWS
- Own CI/CD pipelines and drive improvements to deployment automation
- Own and evolve infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible
- Research new tools and technologies, develop proofs of concept, and introduce validated practices to the team
- Improve system reliability — sharpen alerting, build out runbooks, and deepen observability across our stack (Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Tempo)
- Participate in an on-call rotation; off-hours incidents are rare thanks to extensive automation and self-healing — occasional evening work is limited to planned maintenance and system upgrades
- Maintain process documentation, operational runbooks, and infrastructure diagrams
- Help maintain and manage systems for other teams
- DBt and Redshift – to support our Analytics Team
- SageMaker – to support our Data Science Team
- Raise the DevOps literacy of the engineering team — mentoring junior engineers and helping non-infrastructure engineers build good practices around deployments, observability, and reliability
- Collaborate with engineering teams on infrastructure design decisions
Our take
Over 80M people in the US receive healthcare coverage from Medicaid (a number that continues to grow), yet care is delivered through a highly fragmented network of independent primary care providers (PCPs). These providers often lack the infrastructure and coordination needed to effectively manage complex, high-need populations.
Waymark is addressing this gap by building a tech-enabled care model that combines data infrastructure with embedded clinical support. Rather than acting purely as a software layer, the company partners with health plans and PCPs to both coordinate and deliver care, deploying teams that include community health workers, pharmacists, care coordinators, and behavioral health specialists. Allowing Waymark not just to facilitate communication (e.g.. between doctors and pharmacist managing a diabetic patient's medications), but to actively support ongoing care.
A core part of Waymark's approach is using predicative analytics to identify "rising-risk" patients, those who are not yet high-cost but are likely to become so without intervention. By intervening earlier, the company aims to prevent avoidable hospitalizations and improve long-term outcomes, effectively expanding provider capacity for underserved populations.
Having now moved beyond early pilots, Waymark is scaling through value-based partnerships with Medicaid managed care organizations, working across tens of thousands of patients. While challenges remain in translating proven models to national scale, growing alignment among payers, providers, and policymakers around improving Medicaid outcomes provides strong tailwinds for continued adoption.
