About NOCD
\n
NOCD is the #1 telehealth provider for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Through our technology platform, we connect Members with licensed Therapists who specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD.
\n
\n
We're building technology that helps people reclaim their lives and we're growing quickly. Our platform supports Members, Therapists, and teams across a nationwide healthcare organization, creating unique engineering challenges around scale, reliability, security, real-time communication, and healthcare infrastructure.
\n
\n
The Opportunity
\n
Build the infrastructure behind a rapidly growing healthcare platform.
\n
NOCD is looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to help shape the infrastructure, reliability, and developer platform powering our next stage of growth.
\n
\n
This is not a traditional DevOps or infrastructure-maintenance role. You'll have meaningful ownership over how we build, deploy, monitor, secure, and scale our systems.
\n
\n
You'll work across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, observability, security, and software engineering, partnering closely with application engineers to make our systems more reliable while helping our teams ship faster.
\n
\n
What You'll Own
\n
- \n
- Design, build, and evolve AWS infrastructure supporting NOCD's production applications.
- Build scalable infrastructure using Terraform, Kubernetes, and Docker.
- Improve CI/CD, deployment automation, and developer tooling to help engineers ship faster and more safely.
- Own the reliability, availability, performance, and scalability of production systems.
- Build observability across infrastructure and applications, including monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting.
- Establish SLIs, SLOs, and operational metrics and lead incident response and root-cause analysis.
- Write production-quality software in Python, TypeScript, or similar languages.
- Build automation, APIs, microservices, and internal engineering tools.
- Partner with Engineering and Security on HIPAA, SOC 2, infrastructure security, and compliance.
- Own technical initiatives from architecture through production and help shape engineering standards and best practices.

- Strong experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or a similar programming language.
- Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, APIs, networking, databases, and cloud architecture.
- Experience with observability, production troubleshooting, and incident response.
- Strong understanding of reliability, scalability, availability, and performance.
