Cloud Platform Engineer

Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the “12 Angry Seniors.” Their mission continues to guide everything we do.

Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue. With nearly five decades of experience, we have built a distinctive, values-driven platform dedicated to improving care for older adults.

Our work spans Medicare Advantage, fully integrated care models, primary care, care for the most medically and socially complex populations, and next-generation care delivery models. Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity.

At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen—not dilute—our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve.

The Job

The Cloud Platform Engineer is responsible for designing and implementing secure, scalable, and compliant cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure to support healthcare operations, clinical systems, and patient data management. This role ensures that cloud architecture aligns with healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA, HITRUST), supports digital health transformation, and enables innovation in patient care delivery and data analytics.

You Will

• Design and evolve scalable, secure, and resilient cloud platforms on Azure supporting healthcare workloads and interoperability standards (HL7, FHIR).
• Build and manage cloud-native and hybrid infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred; Bicep/ARM acceptable).
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps) to enable consistent, automated deployments across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Implement platform automation for provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management across Azure and hybrid infrastructure.
• Operate and enhance containerized workloads (AKS/Kubernetes) and platform services (App Services, Azure SQL, Storage, Networking).
• Integrate and manage identity and access controls using Entra ID, RBAC, and Zero Trust principles.
• Support and modernize on-premises VMware environments (vSphere/vCenter ESXi), including integration with Azure and participation in workload migration to cloud platforms
• Build and improve observability practices (logs, metrics, traces), including leveraging AIOps techniques for anomaly detection, alert correlation, and proactive incident response.
• Collaborate with engineering, security, and clinical teams to support modernization and migration of legacy systems into scalable platforms.
• Support AI/ML-enabled workloads at the platform level (e.g., deploying and operating models via Azure ML, containerized inference services, or API-based LLM integrations).
• Drive resilience and disaster recovery strategies, including backup, failover, and multi-region design.
• Act as an escalation point for complex platform issues, focusing on root cause analysis and long-term fixes, not just ticket resolution.
• We seek Rebels who are curious about AI and its power to transform how we operate and serve our members.
• Actively support the achievement of SCAN’s Vision and Goals.
• Other duties as assigned.
  
  

Your Qualifications

• 7–10 years of experience in Cloud / DevOps / Platform Engineering roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (preferred); working knowledge of AWS or GCP is a plus.
• Proven experience building and managing infrastructure using Terraform or equivalent IaC tools.
• Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows.
• Solid understanding of Kubernetes (AKS preferred) and modern application deployment patterns.
• Experience with hybrid environments (cloud on-prem), including networking, identity, and workload migration.
• Experience managing VMware-based infrastructure (vSphere/ESXi, blade server environments) and supporting or executing migrations from on-prem VMware to Azure (e.g., Azure Migrate, hybrid connectivity patterns)
• Strong grasp of observability, monitoring, and incident management practices, with exposure to AIOps or intelligent alerting systems.
• Familiarity with AI/ML platform basics — such as model deployment patterns, API-based AI services (e.g., Azure OpenAI), or data pipelines supporting ML workloads.
• Experience with security best practices: identity management, encryption, secrets management, and compliance (healthcare experience is a plus).
• Experience working with modern scripting and automation tools (PowerShell, Python, CLI/SDKs).
• Background in Windows Server, Active Directory, and enterprise Microsoft stack in a modernized context.
• Experience with healthcare systems and data standards (HL7, FHIR).
• Exposure to platform engineering practices (internal developer platforms, self-service infrastructure).
• Familiarity with policy-as-code, governance frameworks, and cost optimization (FinOps).
• Hands-on experience with AI tooling ecosystems (e.g., Azure ML, vector databases, prompt pipelines, or model monitoring).
• Relevant certifications (Azure, AWS, Kubernetes); helpful but not required.
  
  

What's in it for you?
