SRE Cloud Architect - AWS

Job Overview

Join us. Let’s make a direct impact in healthcare. Being an Iodine employee means becoming part of something bigger - using clinical AI technology to drive smarter healthcare processes and positively impact patient care.

Iodine is an enterprise AI company that is championing a radical rethink of how to create value for healthcare professionals, leaders, and their organizations - by automating complex clinical tasks, generating insights and empowering intelligent care. Powered by one of the largest sets of clinical data and use cases available, our groundbreaking clinical machine-learning engine, Cognitive ML, constantly ingests the patient record to generate real-time, highly focused, predictive insights that clinicians and hospital administrators can leverage to dramatically augment the management of care delivery.

We are seeking a highly skilled AWS Cloud Architect with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) expertise to design, build, scale and optimize our cloud platform and infrastructure. This role demands deep hands-on experience with AWS cloud services across compute, storage, databases, networking, and security, combined with strong cost optimization strategies. The AWS Cloud Architect will help define the cloud roadmap and strategy, design scalable solutions, and ensure the reliability, security, and cost-efficiency of the platform and infrastructure.

This is a remote work opportunity in a full-time engineering position.

Key Responsibilities

• Help define and implement the cloud roadmap and strategy to drive scalability, reliability, security, and cost efficiency.


• Lead and contribute in cloud adoption initiatives, ensuring alignment with business objectives.


• Provide technical leadership and expertise on cloud governance, architectural best practices, and modernization strategies.


• Design and build highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant AWS architecture using AWS services such as EC2, S3, RDS, DocumentDB, Lambda, EKS, Secrets Manager, SSM, API Gateway, and CloudFront.


• Architect and implement resilient storage, compute, and database solutions optimized for performance and cost.


• Help define multi-region disaster recovery (DR) and backup strategies.


• Provide subject matter expertise in the design and implementation of Kubernetes-based infrastructure, including Amazon EKS and containerized workloads.


• Continuously monitor and optimize AWS infrastructure costs using AWS Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, and Savings Plans/Reserved Instances.


• Drive FinOps culture, ensuring teams design and deploy cost-efficient cloud solutions.


• Implement auto-scaling, rightsizing strategies, and storage lifecycle policies to reduce costs.


• Ensure cloud security best practices are embedded into all solutions, including IAM policies, VPC security, encryption, and compliance with industry standards (such as SOC 2, HIPAA).


• Implement least privilege access, network segmentation, and automated security controls across AWS services.


• Collaborate with InfoSec teams to enforce threat detection, logging, and security monitoring using tools such as AWS GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail, Reliaquest Greymatter and Google Chronicle.


• Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK for fully automated provisioning and deployment.


• Implement self-healing, fault-tolerant architectures that can automatically recover from failures.


• Optimize infrastructure monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, AWS CloudWatch, AWS Cloudtrail and New Relic.


• Approve merge and pull requests, ensuring high-quality, scalable, and secure infrastructure code.


• Mentor and upskill the junior members of the SRE team, fostering a culture of continuous learning.


• Participate in architecture discussions with product engineering teams for onboarding new services, ensuring they are scalable, cost-optimized, and aligned with best engineering practices.


• Collaborate with software developers to optimize application performance and cloud-native designs.


• Participate and help refine incident management processes for the SRE team, ensuring minimal downtime and fast recovery.


• Collaborate with Engineering and other teams to define SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets to drive system reliability.


• Participate in post-mortems and root cause analysis to prevent recurring issues.
