Role summary
Cohere Health is seeking an experienced Lead DevOps Engineer to lead their DevOps team in building, scaling, and securing their AWS infrastructure within a regulated healthcare environment. This remote-first role involves technical leadership, mentoring engineers, and driving infrastructure strategy. Responsibilities include designing and deploying scalable, secure infrastructure using IaC, owning CI/CD pipelines with security gates, managing observability, networking, and access, embedding security into the DevOps lifecycle, establishing FinOps practices, and leading incident response. The ideal candidate has 8+ years in DevOps/SRE, deep cloud infrastructure experience, a track record in automation, and familiarity with security practices and compliance frameworks, particularly in healthcare.
Opportunity Overview:
We are looking for an experienced DevOps Team Lead to lead our DevOps engineering team in building, scaling, and securing the infrastructure that powers Cohere Health's platform. In this role you will drive technical direction, mentor engineers, own cross-functional delivery, and partner closely with engineering, security, and data teams to ensure our infrastructure is reliable, secure, and scalable in a regulated healthcare environment.
This is a technical leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable reviewing a Terraform module, running a sprint planning session, and presenting infrastructure strategy to engineering leadership. You will be expected to lead from the front — not just delegate, but contribute directly alongside your team.
