What this job asks for AI summary
A Site Reliability Engineer role focused on keeping production healthcare SaaS systems running on AWS, with the majority of time spent on live incident response, data pipeline operations, and Node.js/Python tuning, and the remainder on automating away repetitive operational work. The position involves managing serverless and containerized workloads, PySpark data workflows, MERN stack applications, and maintaining compliance with HIPAA, SOC2, and HITRUST standards. It suits engineers with hands-on cloud operations experience who are comfortable in on-call rotations and regulated data environments.

Why we read it this way (7)
SOC classification is a close call. The posting explicitly labels this an 'operational-focused SRE' and states ~60% of time is on live incident remediation, data pipeline operations, and infrastructure tuning — pointing toward 15-1244 (systems operations). However, the remaining 40% involves engineering automated solutions and writing code (Python/PySpark, Node.js scripts, IaC), which pulls toward 15-1252. 15-1244 was chosen as primary because the JD's own framing emphasizes operating and maintaining systems over shipping new software.
Total experience minimum is stated as '4 years of software/systems experience' in the requirements section; the '1-2 years focused on live cloud operations' sub-requirement is framed as preferred.
The '3+ years of SaaS platform experience' requirement is a role-level gate, not tied to a named technology, so it is captured in the overall years minimum (4 years, the higher stated floor) rather than as a skill.
MERN stack skills (MongoDB, React, Express.js) appear in the context of operating MERN applications rather than as explicit candidate gates; they are listed as preferred to reflect that operational familiarity is expected but the JD does not hard-gate on each individual component.
SOC2 and HITRUST appear alongside HIPAA in the 'What you'll need' requirements section and are treated as hard gates. The 1-year minimum is stated only for HIPAA specifically.
The salary range of $100,000–$110,000/year is explicitly stated in the posting.
