What this job asks for AI summary
An infrastructure engineering role focused on designing and maintaining a serverless-first AWS platform — including Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, AppSync, and Aurora — along with multi-account governance, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling. The position suits a cloud infrastructure specialist with strong Terraform and AWS expertise who is comfortable taking broad ownership at an early-stage company operating in a regulated healthcare environment.

Why we read it this way (5)
The role title is 'Infra Eng' (Infrastructure Engineer) with no seniority level in the title, hence advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 3–5 year experience requirement and scope (owning a platform at an early-stage company, no people management) support a Mid-level classification, even though the responsibilities are substantial.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role primarily BUILDS and SHIPS infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and a serverless developer platform (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a meaningful operations and governance dimension (multi-account AWS, monitoring, security hardening) that could support 15-1244. The build-and-ship framing wins out.
AppSync and Aurora appear in the narrative 'What You'll Build' section describing the existing stack the engineer will 'operate and evolve', not in the formal requirements block — treated as preferred/context.
The degree requirement states 'B.S. in Computer Science or a relevant field, or equivalent industry experience', which explicitly accepts equivalent experience in lieu of a degree — the degree requirement is therefore None.
Bonus-points items (TypeScript, LLMs/AI-ML infrastructure, GitHub Actions/Argo/Semaphore, event-driven architectures, data ingestion pipelines, Docker/Kubernetes, early-stage experience) are all listed under an explicit 'Bonus points if you have' section.
