Opportunity Overview:
We are looking for an experienced DevOps Team Lead to lead our DevOps engineering team in building, scaling, and securing the infrastructure that powers Cohere Health's platform. In this role you will drive technical direction, mentor engineers, own cross-functional delivery, and partner closely with engineering, security, and data teams to ensure our infrastructure is reliable, secure, and scalable in a regulated healthcare environment.
This is a technical leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable reviewing a Terraform module, running a sprint planning session, and presenting infrastructure strategy to engineering leadership. You will be expected to lead from the front — not just delegate, but contribute directly alongside your team.
This is a remote-first role that may require travel to Boston, MA for new hire onboarding and occasional in-person team meetings and company events.
What you’ll do:
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of DevOps engineers — setting technical direction, running sprint planning, and driving delivery against quarterly goals
Design, deploy, and maintain highly scalable, secure production infrastructure on AWS using infrastructure-as-code practices
Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines — establishing consistent deployment standards and security gates across engineering teams
Lead migrations from legacy infrastructure to modern, managed platforms and decommission outdated systems
Drive our observability strategy — building out monitoring, logging, alerting, and on-call routing across all services
Own networking and access management — ensuring secure, well-documented, least-privilege access across all environments
Embed security into the DevOps lifecycle — vulnerability scanning, code and infrastructure analysis, and remediation workflows with clear SLAs
Establish a FinOps practice — driving cloud cost optimization, right-sizing workloads, and reporting spend to leadership
Serve as the primary escalation point for infrastructure incidents and lead postmortems with preventive follow-through
Ensure infrastructure meets healthcare regulatory and compliance requirements
What you’ll need:
8+ years working in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering, with experience mentoring or leading other engineers
Deep hands-on experience building and managing cloud infrastructure at scale — compute, networking, storage, identity, and access management
Track record of building and maintaining automated build, test, and deployment pipelines
Familiarity with security practices and compliance frameworks, including vulnerability scanning, cloud security posture management, and audit logging
Experience standing up and managing monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to maintain production reliability
Comfortable writing code in at least one scripting or systems language, and managing infrastructure through code
Strong communicator who can shift between deep technical work, team leadership, and translating infrastructure decisions for non-technical partners
Bonus: experience in a regulated industry (especially healthcare), container orchestration, AI-driven automation for infrastructure, or cloud platform certifications
Pay & Perks:
💻 Fully remote opportunity with about 5% travel
🩺 Medical, dental, vision, life, disability insurance, and Employee Assistance Program
📈 401K retirement plan with company match; flexible spending and health savings account
🏝️ Flex Time Off + company holidays

The salary range for this position is $150,000 to $185,000 annually; as part of a total benefits package which includes health insurance, 401k and bonus. In accordance with state applicable laws, Cohere is required to provide a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role. Individual pay decisions are ultimately based on a number of factors, including but not limited to qualifications for the role, experience level, skillset, and internal…
