Description:

The Cancer Screening Project requires the engagement of a Flextrack Senior DevOps Cloud Engineer to support the timely software development, and implementation of secure serverless Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that will enable the Digital Correspondence solution. These APIs will provide the foundational integration layer required to securely store and manage correspondence records, facilitate the transmission of SMS and email notifications, and enable the Digital Correspondence Portal to retrieve, manage, and present correspondence data in a secure and efficient manner. The development activities involve the implementation of cloud-native serverless architecture, integration with enterprise notification services, application of robust authentication and security controls, and adherence to applicable privacy, security, and information management standards.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build and support cloud environments to create digital products
• Monitor and assess the performance of applications in a cloud environment to ensure solutions are available
• Create, test and implement safeguards to maintain data integrity and protect against unauthorized access).

Desired Skills:

• AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional or AWS Certified Security – Specialty.
• Chaos Engineering / Cloud Resiliency Testing: Familiarity with using tools like AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS) to intentionally inject faults.
• Understanding of large-scale healthcare interoperability frameworks and provincial digital health asset directories.

Required Skills:

• Extensive experience designing, deploying, and managing complex environments in leading cloud platforms, with a strong focus on AWS.
• Proven experience provisioning cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or AWS CDK.
• Experience deploying and managing scalable serverless architectures (e.g., AWS Lambda, API Gateway) and event-driven data flows.
• Experience maintaining complex Linux cloud environments and supporting modern web technologies and databases (e.g., Node.js, Elasticsearch).
• Knowledge of container-based virtualization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes/Amazon EKS).
• Integration experience in deploying, managing, and securing highly available APIs.
• Strong understanding of agile delivery models with deep experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines in AWS.
• Experience utilizing modern version control, build tools, and configuration management (e.g., Git, Jenkins, Ansible) to establish robust continuous integration and deployment mechanisms.
• Experience configuring and managing development workflow tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence) to align infrastructure delivery with software development lifecycles.
• Proficiency in automation and scripting languages necessary for cloud management (e.g., Python, Bash, Node.js).
• Experience applying industry architectural, privacy, and security best practices, including automating infrastructure compliance and integrating security scanning directly into deployment pipelines.
• Experience implementing comprehensive centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting strategies (e.g., AWS CloudWatch, Datadog, Splunk) to ensure cloud resiliency.
• Experience introducing suitable metrics for measuring deployment progress, system performance, and evaluating the overall quality of cloud environments.
• Experience creating and producing technical infrastructure specifications and determining operational feasibility for proposed architectures.
• Experience coordinating the usage, provisioning, and assignment of test and production environments with all cross-functional stakeholders.
• Experience leading cloud initiatives and providing technical guidance and mentorship to team members.
• A team player with a proven track record of meeting strict project deadlines

Deliverables Include (Deliverables resource is responsible for):

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Repositories: Fully automated, parameterized Terraform or CloudFormation scripts for all deployment environments (Dev, QA, UAT, Prod).
• CI/CD Pipelines: Configured, secured, and operational deployment pipelines with integrated code quality and security scanning.
• Monitoring & Alerting Dashboards: Implementation of operational dashboards, automated alerts, and log aggregation for the serverless architecture.
