  • Define, document, and enforce supported deployment models, environment assumptions, constraints, and known failure modes.
  • Partner early with software engineering to surface non-obvious system dependencies, scalability limits, and operational risks.
  • Drive improvements in observability through logging, monitoring, diagnostics, and operational tooling.
  • Develop and maintain automation scripts to reduce manual configuration, increase consistency, and eliminate classes of environment-related issues.
  • Ensure system designs, configurations, and documentation meet IVD regulatory and quality expectations.

Requirements

  • Experience supporting products deployed across virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V) and cloud infrastructure.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, VPC, IAM, and storage services.
  • Demonstrated ability to proactively diagnose and resolve complex system-level issues across software, OS, and infrastructure layers.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and release workflows in regulated or quality-focused environments.

Nice to have

  • Experience maintaining a distributed product for 2-3 years across 100+ enterprise customer installations.
  • Exposure to container orchestration platforms such as ECS, EKS, or Kubernetes.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code or configuration management tools.
  • Familiarity with monitoring and logging platforms and operational diagnostics.
  • Background in regulated environments with awareness of compliance and audit expectations.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence system architecture and technical direction at a product level without formal management responsibility.
