Kontakt Design, build, and operate resilient infrastructure on AWS for Kontakt.io's healthcare platform. Own incident response, disaster recovery, and observability to ensure platform reliability.
Responsibilities
We're looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our Infrastructure Engineering team and get their hands directly into the systems that keep our healthcare platform running for hospitals and care teams who can't afford downtime. This is a builder's seat — you'll carry real operational weight and have direct influence over how our infrastructure evolves.
Personally design, build, and operate resilient, self-healing infrastructure across our AWS-based platform
Own incident response end-to-end: detection, mitigation, root-cause investigation, and postmortems that actually change how the system behaves next time
Design and run disaster-recovery and failover exercises with real RTO/RPO targets — you'll be the one who knows exactly what happens when things break
Build out observability that's genuinely tuned — SLIs, SLOs, and alerting people trust, not noise
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (Terraform, GitOps)
Work hands-on in Kubernetes, below the abstraction layer — you'll know the system, not just the dashboard
Partner day-to-day with our platform lead, sharing real production ownership and on-call
Shape our security and compliance posture (HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 2) as it relates to infrastructure handling protected health data
