Who We Are

At VPL we modernize clinical supply chains to support healthier patients. Our technology-driven solutions and consultative customer experience empower health systems and outpatient pharmacies to build smarter, more resilient supply chains. With over 700 hospitals and a 97 percent customer retention rate, we’re trusted to deliver transparency, cost savings, and peace of mind.

What We’re Looking For

VPL is looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to help operate and improve our Azure cloud environments and container-based application platform. This is a growth role for someone with strong technical fundamentals, curiosity, and a desire to develop deeper skills in cloud operations, automation, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code.

What You’ll Do

• Help operate and maintain VPL’s production and non-production Azure environments.

• Monitor platform health, availability, performance, capacity, security, and cloud consumption.

• Support application builds, releases, and deployments using Azure DevOps and GitOps workflows.

• Perform routine administration and troubleshooting across Azure services, containers, Kubernetes, networking, storage, identity, and platform dependencies.

• Make controlled infrastructure and configuration changes using infrastructure-as-code and version-controlled processes.

• Perform scheduled maintenance, patching, upgrades, certificate rotation, vulnerability remediation, and resource lifecycle activities.

• Partner with Development, QA, Architecture, and SRE to resolve environment issues and improve operational reliability.

• Maintain runbooks and operational documentation and participate in the on-call rotation after completing onboarding.

What You’ll Bring

• Approximately 1–3 years of experience in DevOps, cloud operations, systems administration, application support, software engineering, or a related technical role.

• Foundational knowledge of Microsoft Azure, including compute, networking, storage, identity, monitoring, or security.

• Experience with Git and exposure to automated build or deployment pipelines.

• Basic understanding of containers, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code concepts.

• Experience scripting or automating tasks with PowerShell, Bash, Python, or a similar language.

• Linux and Windows troubleshooting skills and an understanding of networking and security fundamentals.

• Strong learning agility, attention to detail, communication skills, and a disciplined approach to production changes.

• Exposure to Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Terraform, relational databases, messaging platforms, or SaaS production environments is helpful but not required.

How You’ll Grow

• Learn VPL’s existing Azure environment and the operational practices required to support it reliably.

• Develop hands-on proficiency with Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, observability, cloud networking, and modern platform operations.

• Progress from performing documented operational tasks to independently resolving common issues and improving automation.

• Build a career path toward advanced DevOps, platform engineering, cloud engineering, or site reliability engineering responsibilities.
