Description

About Stellar Health:

Historically, US Healthcare has relied on a fee-for-service reimbursement system where providers are paid based on the quantity of patient visits and procedures, rather than the quality of health outcomes. 

At Stellar Health, we help primary care providers put patient health first. Our platform - a mix of technology, people, and analytics - supports providers at the point of care, delivering real-time patient information, activating practice staff, and empowering providers and care teams with incentives that reward the work they are already doing to keep patients healthy. Using the Stellar App, our web-based, point-of-care tool; practices receive a simple checklist of recommended actions that support the best quality care. Providers and care teams are then paid monthly for each action they complete, and Payors save money in reduced healthcare costs along the way.  

Stellar is a US-based Health-tech backed by Top VCs (General Atlantic, Point72, & Primary Venture Partners)​​ with an established product & proven operating model. We’ve shown that we make a real difference for physician practices and their patients. Our product began 2022 supporting over 500k patient lives; we’re currently at 750k and are fast tracking towards our milestone goal of 1M by EOY.  We’re actively hiring and scaling our business to support Stellar’s continued growth and impact on our healthcare system. It's an exciting time to join the team!

About the role:

DevOps at Stellar Health is in charge of supporting an increasingly diverse infrastructure setup, and support systems built by an increasing number of engineers.

The original system was rather simplistic - a Django Application on top of Postgres, with a cron-driven ETL ingestion pipeline. While we have evolved this incrementally since to support customer growth (added Redis for caching, Celery for tasks, Elastic Search to serve certain jobs, a Postgres read replica to scale out some of the growth), due to increased customer growth we are now at the cusp of building the next generation of systems and infrastructure.

As a Lead DevOps Engineer, you will partner with the Director of DevOps to guide the engineering team through this infrastructure evolution, and be responsible for its scalability, monitoring, and general good performance and reliability.

As we transition to more complex usage of servers, we expect your team to be able to not only be a stakeholder in informing teams’ systems design, but also a partner to the engineering team when it comes to release management, CI/CD setups, build cop and on-call rotations.

Originally, our systems diagram looked like this:

 

Over the next year our systems will change significantly - and the DevOps team will be in charge of helping us transition safely and smoothly to our next generation infrastructure.

  • Deploy and set up internal services (Redis, Elastic Search, Postgres) to match engineering business needs. Work together with engineering to coordinate upgrades of these systems to newer versions, scale, etc. Be responsible for the uptime of these services.
  • Evolve our logging, monitoring, and alerting - and drive a best in class engineering On Call rotation that allows us to ensure high availability of our production systems.

Developer productivity tools

  • Evolve our release process to make it easy for engineering to deploy and roll back releases. Help the engineering team move to a daily release cycle through speedy and automated deployments and rollbacks.
  • Support the engineering organization through setting up our testing infrastructure in a way that allows for faster deployments.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in a hands-on DevOps, Site Reliability (SRE), or Platform Engineering role.

Pay:

At Stellar, we believe in transparency and we do our best to make sure the company and our candidates are on the same page as it relates to compensation. In addition to posting salary ranges for our open roles, candidates should expect to be asked about compensation expectations and requirements early on in their interview process. Our goal is to highlight when expectations and Stellar’s salary range may be out of sync, and work with the candidate to determine whether it makes sense to continue conversations. 

The base salary range for this role is $200,000 - $210,000 and will be eligible for an annual performance based bonus. Where a new hire falls within this range will be based on their individual skills and experience, and how these competencies compare across other employees in the same role. Stellar's bands are designed to allow for individual compensation growth within the role.  As such, new hires typically start at the lower end of the range.  Stellar rewards performance and outcomes - should you join the company, you will have the opportunity to grow your salary over time.

Stellar reserves the right to change our compensation bands at any time.
