High-Impact Public Health Portfolio: Act as the premier infrastructure architect for a modern digital correspondence engine vital to provincial patient wellness tracking.

Elite Interoperability Footprint: Gain rare, high-demand marketplace specialization by engineering pipeline layers that feed directly into premium FHIR platforms like Smile CDR and AWS HealthLake.

Advanced Automation Ecosystem: Own the absolute delivery loop of a serverless, event-driven AWS grid using sophisticated CDK frameworks and automated DevSecOps barriers.

Highly Structured Governance Experience: Master the complexities of enterprise-scale data sovereignty, working with specialized public-sector identity solutions like OpenText NetIQ..

Responsibilities

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Engineering: Architect, provision, and manage scalable cloud environments using advanced IaC practices, utilizing AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK driven by Python and Node.js.

CI/CD Pipeline Automation: Design, build, and secure automated continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines (utilizing GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, and Jenkins) embedded with automated security scanning tools.

Clinical Repository Administration: Deploy, scale, and secure high-availability health data networks and specialized FHIR repositories, explicitly maintaining integrations across Smile CDR and AWS HealthLake.

Identity & Access Governance: Design and implement rigid identity architectures, configuring fine-grained permissions, secure service roles, and access parameters utilizing OpenText NetIQ IAM alongside native cloud IAM services.

Healthcare Compliance & Privacy Safeguards: Formulate and enforce technical safeguards to preserve data integrity and guard against unauthorized access, keeping environments completely compliant with healthcare frameworks like PHIPA and HIPAA.

Serverless Ecosystem Optimization: Oversee the deployment, networking, and performance tuning of highly available, event-driven serverless architectures, including AWS Lambda microservices, API Gateways, and streaming message queues.

Observability & Resiliency Engineering: Establish comprehensive centralized logging, alerting, and monitoring frameworks (such as AWS CloudWatch, Datadog, or Splunk) to track system telemetry and guarantee application uptime.

Environment Provisioning & Release Management: Coordinate the orchestration, isolation, and workload assignment of non-production and production staging environments across multi-disciplinary technical squads.

Technical Leadership & Documentation: Provide infrastructure direction and mentorship to delivery teams, translating complex functional needs into rigorous physical infrastructure specifications and reference architecture diagrams.

Qualifications

Core DevOps Seniority: 8+ years of progressive professional experience in cloud systems engineering, site reliability, or automation architecture within large, complex IT environments.

Advanced IaC Mastery: Proven hands-on expertise building and managing complex cloud footprints through AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK (proficient in both Python and Node.js codebases).

Robust Pipeline Automation Skills: Deep experience constructing and securing end-to-end CI/CD infrastructure pipelines via GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, or Jenkins.

Healthcare Compliance Domain Depth: Direct professional experience managing cloud environments housing sensitive PHI under strict healthcare privacy frameworks (PHIPA or HIPAA).

FHIR Repository & Provincial Asset Experience: Practical, hands-on infrastructure experience supporting clinical interoperability storage systems, specifically Smile CDR and AWS HealthLake platforms is strictly required.

Enterprise Identity Access Acumen: Verified, direct experience integrating, configuring, or supporting OpenText NetIQ IAM infrastructure networks.

Serverless & Container Infrastructure Literacy: Deep knowledge of scalable microservices layers (AWS Lambda, API Gateway) and container orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes/Amazon EKS).

Scripting Fluency: Strong proficiency in automation scripting across Python, Bash, or JavaScript/TypeScript.

Public Sector Mandate: Proven professional experience executing enterprise DevOps or cloud delivery tracks within a Canadian public sector framework is strictly required.

Soft Skills: Outstanding consultative, critical-thinking, and analytical problem-solving abilities, with an established background leading technical initiatives and managing stakeholder expectations under strict project deadlines.

Highly Preferred Assets

Active elite cloud credentials, such as the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer
Professional or AWS Certified Security
Specialty certifications.

Foundational familiarity with Chaos Engineering and resiliency prototyping tools (such as AWS Fault Injection Simulator).
