Are you passionate about revolutionizing healthcare? Are you a collaborative builder who thrives on thoughtful, high-impact work? Are you driven to change the standard of care in women's health?
The Lactation Network is hiring a DevOps Engineer. We're looking for someone who will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between development and operations, focusing on streamlining our software delivery pipeline and ensuring the reliability, scalability, observability, and security of our applications and infrastructure. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to automate and improve our development and deployment processes while managing and maintaining our cloud-based infrastructure.
We are a small, tight-knit, purpose-driven organization with aggressive growth goals in 2024 and beyond. We don't have all the answers, and we don't expect you to, either. We do expect you to be curious, hardworking, and strive to be your best self.
