About the role
Original posting provided by amazon
As a Systems Engineer on the Healthcare IT team, you will own the operational health of a fleet of over 7,000 endpoints spanning Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android across hundreds of clinic and fulfillment center locations. You will use technology to solve difficult operational problems: keeping devices patched, compliant, and performant at scale, root-causing failures across endpoint, identity, and network systems, and building the automation that lets a talented team operate a large fleet. You will serve as tier 3 support for on-site technology teams, owning the escalation path for complex endpoint infrastructure issues that require deep technical investigation.
This is a hands-on operational engineering role. You will identify the patterns behind recurring device failures and automate them away, script fleet-wide configuration and patching changes, build monitoring that surfaces device health and compliance across the fleet, and drive operational excellence initiatives that produce measurable results. You will make trade-offs between time, resources, and operational burden, and you will resolve, mitigate, or escalate security and reliability risks with sound judgment.
Healthcare IT is a fast-paced environment where priorities shift as the business grows. You will work across multiple technology domains (endpoint management, identity, networking, cloud infrastructure) and must be comfortable context-switching between project execution and operational support.
On-Call Responsibility:
This position involves on-call responsibilities for high-severity events related to critical endpoint infrastructure and identity systems. We invest in fault-tolerant design and root-cause resolution to minimize pages. When we do get paged, we work together to fix the underlying issue so it does not recur.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the operational health, availability, and performance of a fleet of over 7,000 healthcare endpoints (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android)
- Build reusable automation and tooling that scales fleet operations: device provisioning, patching, compliance enforcement, and configuration management
- Serve as an excellent diagnostician: interpret logs, understand dependencies, and root-cause failures across endpoint, identity, and network systems
- Provide tier 3 support for production healthcare endpoint infrastructure, resolving complex escalations from field teams
- Integrate device management platforms (MDM), identity providers (Active Directory, SAML/SSO), and operational tooling through scripting and APIs
- Identify and remediate operational and security risks across the fleet; participate in security compliance reviews and vulnerability management
- Build monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and metrics reporting for device health, patch compliance, login latency, and fleet-wide anomalies
- Support specialized device fleet infrastructure including image tuning, patching, and monitoring
- Drive operational excellence initiatives that demonstrate measurable improvements in reliability, compliance, or support burden
- Create and review SOPs, runbooks, and operational documentation; drive engineering and operational best practices
- Participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation for critical infrastructure services
