At Ciitizen, we have a singular mission: to improve the lives of the 350 million+ people suffering from rare and complex conditions. Leveraging our AI-powered data platform, we empower patients with seamless access and control over their health data that they can share across our multi-sided ecosystem with caregivers, providers and researchers to illuminate better treatment and support options, while bringing therapies to patients faster. We support thousands of patients, work with a rapidly growing network of patient advocacy organizations, and innovate with leading biopharma organizations to accelerate therapies, always ensuring patients remain at the center.
We are a team of patients, caregivers, researchers and builders who have had first-hand experience across the spectrum of rare disease. Led by a seasoned founding team with a history of successful exits in healthcare and consumer startups, and supported by top-tier investors, we are a close-knit, mission-driven group seeking exceptional talents to join us.

The Senior DevOps Engineer will play a critical role in managing, optimizing and scaling our infrastructure in a rapidly growing company. You are someone who has hands-on experience managing infrastructure including familiarity with cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, deployment processes, auto-scaling approaches and best practices across security, monitoring and performance. You enjoy working in a fast-paced start-up environment where you will also help support MLOps needs in conjunction with our ML team and assist in administration of key IT systems. You like to roll up your sleeves to get stuff done with the opportunity to grow your scope and role over time as the company scales. Your work will be critical to the entire product and engineering team where you will build a strong backbone to scale our platform.
