Attendance in that window is required. Your remaining work is yours to schedule. **Commitment:** Approximately **50 hours per week** **Industry:** Healthcare technology experience is preferred but not mandatory **About the Company** Zenara Health is a technology-oriented mental healthcare organization building clinical software for behavioral-health clinics. We work with sensitive healthcare data, so reliability, security, access control, backups, and compliance are not side concerns — they are part of the product .. We are a startup, not a department. We move quickly, but we need to move with discipline because customers and patient data depend on us. **About the Role** We are looking for an **AI-Native Platform Engineer** to own DevOps, production reliability, security operations, and compliance foundations. This is not a narrow DevOps ticket role. This is not a compliance paperwork role. This is a hands-on platform ownership role. Today, platform, security, and compliance work is spread across people who are already covering other responsibilities. We need one full-time owner who keeps systems running, backed up, updated, monitored, secure, and HIPAA-ready .. You will work closely with the Head of Engineering and a part-time senior security and compliance consultant .. Here is the test: can you prove that backups restore, deployments roll back, secrets are controlled, alerts work, access is locked down, and compliance evidence exists before a customer asks for it? We are looking for a calm, methodical operator who automates the boring things, finds the scary things, and closes the important gaps. **Our Platform Vision** We are building an AI-native healthcare software company. That means our platform must support speed without creating unacceptable risk. The platform should make the safe path the easy path: reliable deployments, observable systems, tested recovery, controlled access, documented evidence, automated checks, and continuous security awareness. You will help build this operating system, including: - Deployment and rollback workflows - Monitoring and alerting - Backups and restore verification - Secrets and access management - Cloud configuration reviews - Security checks on new code and infrastructure - HIPAA compliance evidence - Vendor and AI-tool risk tracking - Daily automated security and compliance checks - Incident response basics - Platform documentation and runbooks The goal is to create a platform that lets a small engineering team move fast without gambling with production or patient data. **What You’ll Do** - Own production platform operations: deployments, monitoring, alerts, updates, and reliability. - Own backups and regularly prove restores work . - Manage access control, secrets, cloud configuration, and security checks. - Organize HIPAA-related policies, controls, audit evidence, and customer security documentation . - Identify, prioritize, and close platform and security gaps. - Build a daily security and compliance agent that sweeps systems and reports findings . - Work weekly with a senior security and compliance consultant. - Create runbooks, checklists, and automation for repeatable operational work. - Support incident response, recovery, and prevention. - Help free other team members from ad hoc platform and security work. **What We’re Looking For** - Hands-on experience keeping startup systems and platforms running. - Cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring, backups, and recovery experience. - Experience with access control, secrets management, cloud configuration, and security basics. - Ability to prove backups restore and systems recover. - Ability to code and automate routine platform or security tasks. - Comfort using AI agents to build automation and operational workflows. - Calm judgment during incidents and production issues. - Strong ownership and documentation habits. - Practical mindset: you can prioritize risks rather than create endless theoretical lists. **Our Current Stack** - Azure AKS / Kubernetes - Azure Blob Storage - Azure Monitor / OpenTelemetry - Terraform - Helm - CI pipelines - PostgreSQL - Redis - Some AWS - TypeScript applications using Node.js / Hono and React - Medplum / FHIR - Healthcare data, HIPAA, patient-data protection, vendor risk, and AI-tool risk **What “AI-Native Platform Engineering” Means for This Role** For this role, being AI-native means you can: - Use agents to inspect configurations, draft runbooks, and automate checks. - Build recurring security and compliance sweeps. - Use AI to accelerate infrastructure review without blindly trusting it. - Create workflows that surface risks before humans remember to check. - Automate operational evidence gathering. - Maintain human approval for sensitive actions. - Keep permissions, secrets, and production access tightly controlled. - AI should help you create a more reliable platform, not become another unmanaged risk. **Nice to Have** - Healthcare or HIPAA experience. - Security background, such as cloud security, SOC, or incident response. - Compliance framework experience, especially HIPAA or SOC 2. - Azure and AKS production experience. - Kubernetes at production scale . **What Success Looks Like** In your first 30 days, you will review the current setup, agree the top platform and security gaps, demonstrate a backup restore and deployment rollback, and produce a prioritized improvement list .. Within your first 90 days, monitoring and alerting will be in place, top security gaps will be closed, the first version of the daily security/compliance agent will be running, and compliance evidence will be organized .. Over time, success means Zenara has a reliable, secure, HIPAA-ready platform, clean customer security reviews, and platform work no longer depends on non-specialists. **Schedule** Live collaboration requires overlap with the US team. For engineering roles, the current collaboration window is approximately **6:00 PM to 12:00 AM IST**, though final expectations should be confirmed during the hiring process. Production incidents and critical deployments may occasionally require availability outside normal collaboration windows. **Compensation and Benefits** - Competitive compensation, based on demonstrated ability and experience - Fully remote work - Equipment allowance - Direct access to the founder and Head of Engineering - Support from a senior security expert **Who Will Thrive in This Role** This role is well suited to someone who: - Is calm, methodical, and reliable. - Likes automating operational work. - Cares about security but can still move pragmatically. - Wants broad ownership across DevOps, security, and compliance. - Can operate independently without a large platform team. - Understands that healthcare data requires discipline. You may struggle if you want a large ops team around you, only want one narrow specialty, treat compliance as paperwork only, cannot automate, or are careless with secrets and access. **If you want to build the operating foundation for an AI-native health-tech company, we would love to hear from you.** ## Apply [Apply at Zenara Health](https://apply.workable.com/zenara-health/j/20FD8BF043/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
