The Senior Software Engineer II will architect CI/CD solutions, lead automation efforts, mentor junior engineers, and improve developer experience while ensuring compliance and security standards.
As a Senior II Engineer on the CI Pipeline team, you will serve as a primary architect of our CI/CD vision, helping to ensure that as Aledade scales, our delivery speed and compliance posture accelerate together. You will initially lead the evolution of a "Universal Pipeline" – the initiative to make the "Right Way" the "Easy Way" by building automation and guardrails to ensure every deployment is HIPAA-compliant by default.
Beyond the initial pipeline framework, you will be involved in the long-term strategy for our internal developer experience, moving into the test tooling infrastructure (interwoven into the CI pipeline), self-service tooling, and ephemeral environments to leverage those technologies. Your goal is to foster a high-velocity engineering culture where security, compliance, and audit evidence are seamless side-effects of a delivery lifecycle, not manual tasks.
Primary Duties:
- Develop and implement scalable and performant solutions.
- Partner, as a peer, with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and stakeholders throughout Aledade to develop and execute technical roadmaps using Agile processes.
- Mentor and coach more junior engineers including thorough pull request reviews for other developers and be receptive to critical feedback on your own work.
Minimum Qualifications:
- BS/BTech (or higher) in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.
- 6+ years experience as an engineer building and managing highly automated CI/CD infrastructure and developer tooling as part of a cross-functional team.
- 3+ years of experience working with infrastructure-as-code and automation scripting (e.g., Python, Bash, or Go) to manage complex delivery pipelines.
- 3+ years of experience acting as a trusted technical decision-maker in a team setting, solving for short-term and long-term business value.
- 3+ years of experience coaching other engineers on testing strategies and pipeline integration.
Preferred KSA’s:
- Systems Programming: Proficiency in a high-level language (Python, Go, etc) to build custom CLI tools, internal providers, or API integrations that extend the capabilities of off-the-shelf CI/CD products.
- Developer Experience (DX) Tooling: Experience building internal abstractions or "Golden Path" templates that simplify complex cloud interactions for product engineers.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Expert-level Terraform or Pulumi skills used to treat the entire delivery platform as a version-controlled, testable software product.
- Ephemeral Test Environments: Expertise in architecting "on-demand" testing environments (using Kubernetes/Namespaces or Docker) that allow developers to run full-stack integration tests within the pipeline.
- Test Tooling Integration: Experience building or integrating frameworks for Contract Testing (e.g., Pact), Synthetic Testing, and Automated Regression at scale.
- Mocking & Service Virtualization: Ability to provide engineers with the infrastructure needed to mock healthcare-specific dependencies (e.g., EHR simulators) within the CI flow.
- Automated Governance: Experience building "Compliance as Code" into pipelines, ensuring that SOC2, SOX, and HIPAA audit evidence (the "Triple-Lock" of Author, Approver, and Scan results) is captured automatically.
- Secure Supply Chain: Proficiency in integrating security gates—including SAST, DAST, Secret Detection, and automated SBOM generation—into the automated delivery flow.
- Identity & Secrets Management: Deep understanding of managing sensitive credentials and least-privilege access for CI/CD runners in a cloud environment (AWS preferred).
- Universal Pipeline Design: Expertise in building modular, reusable CI/CD templates (e.g., GitHub Actions) that standardize deployment patterns across diverse stacks (ECS, EKS, Databricks).
- Build Optimization: Proven ability to optimize monorepo build performance through intelligent caching, change-detection, and parallelization.
- Observability & DORA Metrics: Ability to instrument the delivery platform to track and improve core metrics like Deployment Frequency and Lead Time for Changes.
