What this job asks for AI summary

A small healthcare-tech startup needs a hands-on cloud/platform engineer to own its multi-account AWS infrastructure end to end. The role spans writing TypeScript CDK to manage IaC across a dozen+ AWS accounts, operating production services (ECS Fargate, Aurora, Lambda, OpenSearch, API Gateway), automating security and compliance controls for HIPAA/SOC 2, and building internal chat-native tooling and CI/CD pipelines. Strong production coding ability in TypeScript and/or Python is expected alongside deep AWS expertise.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 20, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (7)

No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the role appears fully remote based on the absence of any office or location requirement.

The SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role writes substantial production code (TypeScript CDK, internal bots, CI/CD tooling) pointing to Software Developers (15-1252), but also has a heavy infrastructure operations and access-management component that could support Network/Systems Admins (15-1244). The primary deliverable — shipping IaC, pipelines, and internal tooling as code — tips the classification to 15-1252.

AWS CDK is strongly preferred per the posting; Terraform and CloudFormation are listed as acceptable backgrounds that 'transfer fine', so they are captured as alternatives rather than co-equal requirements.

Python is listed alongside TypeScript under 'Production Coding' with an 'and/or' framing; both are captured as required since the posting gates on comfort writing production code in at least one of them, and both are explicitly named.

SSO/SAML/OIDC is emitted as a single skill reflecting the posting's combined 'SSO/SAML/OIDC' identity-systems requirement.

All optional-qualifications items (HIPAA/SOC 2 audit experience, AWS Organizations, data platform tools, Bedrock, Windows Server, OpenVPN, Cloudflare, Route 53, Next.js, React) are marked preferred as they appear under an explicit 'Optional Qualifications' heading.

No compensation range is stated in the posting.
