SiftMed builds AI-powered software that transforms how organizations process and understand complex medical records. Our platform ingests thousands of pages of clinical documentation and turns them into structured, searchable, and instantly navigable files — saving healthcare, legal, and insurance professionals countless hours and helping them make better decisions, faster.
Based in St. John's, Newfoundland, we're a fast-growing team working at the intersection of AI, healthcare, and document intelligence. The work we do is meaningful: we handle some of the most sensitive data there is, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of security, privacy, and reliability.
The Role We're looking for a Software Developer with strong DevOps experience and deep AWS expertise to help us build and scale the infrastructure behind our platform. You'll work across the stack — writing application code, designing cloud infrastructure, automating deployments, and keeping our systems secure, observable, and resilient.
This is a hands-on role for someone who's equally comfortable shipping back-end features and owning the pipelines and cloud resources that run them. You'll have real ownership over how we build, deploy, and operate software in a regulated, security-conscious environment.
What You'll Do
Architect, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS (compute, storage, networking, serverless, managed services)
Define infrastructure as code using Terraform and/or AWS CDK / CloudFormation
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, builds, and deployments
Containerize services with Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes (EKS) or ECS
Design and manage databases — schema design, performance tuning, backups, and data integrity
Implement monitoring, logging, and observability to keep systems healthy and incidents short
Champion security and compliance practices for handling sensitive health data, including access controls, encryption, and audit readiness
Collaborate with engineers, product, and customer teams to ship reliable software end to end
What You Bring
3+ years of professional software development experience, with meaningful DevOps responsibility
Hands‑on AWS experience across multiple services in production
Experience building CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)
Practical experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation)
Experience with Docker and container orchestration (Kubernetes or ECS)
Solid database fundamentals (relational and/or NoSQL) — design, queries, and optimization
A security‑first mindset and comfort working with sensitive or regulated data
Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to own work from design through production
Nice to Have
Experience in healthcare, legal, insurance, or other regulated industries
Familiarity with privacy and security frameworks (PHIPA, PIPEDA, HIPAA, SOC 2)
Exposure to AI/ML pipelines or working alongside ML systems in production
Experience scaling systems and managing cost in a high-growth startup
Background in observability tooling (CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, etc.)
Contributions to open source or a portfolio of relevant projects
Why Join Us
Meaningful work building technology that genuinely helps people in healthcare and beyond
Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package
Real ownership and influence over our architecture and engineering practices
A collaborative, fast-moving team where your work ships and matters
The chance to grow with a company at an exciting stage of scale
