Why this is worth applying to
Only worth applying if you are a clinician who has already built a genuine cloud/DevOps engineering career — the technical bar (AKS internals, networking, security hardening, incident response) is high. Clinicians without production Kubernetes experience should not apply.
Who should apply
Clinicians who have transitioned into cloud, DevOps, or platform engineering roles; health informatics professionals with strong Azure/Kubernetes infrastructure experience; healthcare graduates with a computer science/engineering background and production AKS exposure.
CV angle
Lead with concrete Azure/AKS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and incident-response achievements, then connect them to healthcare context by highlighting any work with FHIR, health data interoperability, PHI security, or regulated healthcare environments. Do not reframe clinical duties as engineering experience — instead position clinical background as domain context that strengthens healthcare-platform judgment.
Skills to highlight
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster architecture and operations
- Kubernetes internals, networking, and security hardening
- CI/CD pipeline design and automation
- Observability, monitoring, and performance tuning
- Production incident response and on-call ownership
- FHIR / healthcare data interoperability context
- Cross-team collaboration with application, security, and platform teams
Role summary
A senior Azure Platform Engineer role at a FHIR-based health data company, responsible for designing, deploying, and operating production AKS clusters with a focus on networking, security hardening, reliability, observability, and incident response, including on-call rotation.
