About NOCD

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.

• 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.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience , with significant experience in SRE, platform engineering, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS and cloud architecture .
• Strong experience with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools .
• 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.
• Ability to own technical initiatives and work effectively across engineering teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional experience.

Nice to Have

• Experience in healthcare, fintech, or another regulated environment .
• Experience with HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST, or similar compliance frameworks .
• Experience with Datadog, CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, or similar tools .
• Experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD, or GitOps .
• Experience designing highly available or multi-region AWS architectures.
• Experience with DevSecOps, IAM, secrets management, and encryption .
• Experience building internal developer platforms or tooling.

What Success Looks Like

• Build more reliable, observable, and scalable infrastructure .
• Make it easier for engineers to ship quickly and safely.
• Strengthen our cloud, deployment, and security architecture.
