LiveData Explained

Engineering Manager - Dev Ops

LiveData | Remote, United States (Eastern Time preferred) | Full-Time

Why LiveData

LiveData builds cloud-based surgical software that helps hospitals run operating rooms more efficiently while improving patient outcomes. The systems behind this work must be reliable, secure, observable, and cost-aware.

This role leads the DevOps function at LiveData, managing a small team of two engineers while staying close to the technical work. You will report to the VP Engineering, and own how infrastructure, deployment, operations, and reliability are designed and run across the company.

About LiveData

LiveData is a healthcare technology company automating clinical and operational workflows across Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. We build on a serverless-first AWS architecture to keep systems lean and scalable while relying on managed services where they fit best.

LiveData was selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2026, its eighth consecutive year on the list.

The Role

We are hiring a DevOps Engineering Manager to lead and improve our DevOps function. You will manage two DevOps engineers and work closely with software engineering, QA, security, and leadership to improve delivery speed, reliability, observability, security, and AWS cost efficiency.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You are expected to make architectural decisions, review infrastructure changes, shape CI/CD workflows, guide incident response, and help solve difficult production and platform problems in a pragmatic way.

Our environment is AWS-first and serverless-first, with a strong preference for automation, infrastructure as code, and managed services over undifferentiated operational toil.

What You Will Do
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of two DevOps engineers.
- Own the health and maturity of the DevOps function: infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and release processes.
- Define and execute a DevOps roadmap aligned with engineering and business goals.
- Partner with software engineers to improve developer experience and deployment reliability.
- Strengthen infrastructure as code, automation standards, and operational runbooks.
- Oversee production operations: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and root cause analysis.
- Drive reliability, availability, backup and recovery readiness, and disaster recovery planning.
- Guide secure infrastructure and delivery practices in collaboration with security and engineering leadership.
- Manage and optimize AWS usage with attention to scalability, resilience, and cost.
- Track and report key operational metrics (e.g., deployment frequency, change failure rate, availability, mean time to recovery, cloud spend).
- Help evaluate tooling and vendor choices appropriate for a small engineering organization.
- Support future hiring and growth of the DevOps function.
- Use AI coding assistants and automation tools as part of daily workflows.
