One Trajector. One Mission.

Trajector is where purpose meets progress. We specialize in medical evidence services that become the compass our clients rely on while navigating the intricate terrain of disability benefits. Our calling is clear: to make a real difference, infuse passion, and enhance the quality of life for the disabled community. As part of our global community, you'll join a team of over 1,800 dedicated individuals, each contributing their unique talents to streamline the path to benefits. Urgency propels us, data empowers us, and every step is tailored to ensure those with disabilities access their rightful compensation. Join us in shaping stories of transformation, one life at a time.

Trajector is seeking a highly talented Senior DevOps Engineer to help design and manage the infrastructure for the next generation of our products and services. We are looking for an individual that will bring  software engineering principles and practices to building performant, secure, well-tested DevOps infrastructure.

Observability and Security

We have the foundational pieces of our continuously delivered infrastructure defined via IaC with Terraform on various AWS services, including Kubernetes and Lambda. Next, we have prioritized our work to add components to give us the observability we needed to detect and fix issues before end users are impacted. We work with protected health and payment information, so we hope to leverage this observability approach to reduce our audit and compliance effort.
