DevOps Engineer for Healthcare SaaS
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
Project Overview
We are building a HIPAA-compliant SaaS platform that uses AI voice agents (Retell AI) to capture and process inbound phone calls from MedSpa and healthcare clients. We are seeking an experienced DevOps or full-stack engineer to fully deploy our backend infrastructure using Aptible, n8n, and PostgreSQL. This infrastructure must be fully HIPAA-compliant, secure, and scalable.
You will be responsible for end-to-end setup and configuration of our infrastructure, including hosting, database encryption, data workflows, and optionally a dashboard for client access.
Stack Overview
The platform uses the following tools:
Retell AI (webhook source for call summaries and transcripts)
n8n (workflow automation engine)
Aptible (HIPAA-compliant PaaS hosting)
PostgreSQL (encrypted data storage)
Retool or Glide (dashboard for clients to access their own data)
Scope of Work
Aptible App and Database Setup
Deploy n8n as a Docker container on Aptible
Set up a PostgreSQL database within Aptible with encryption enabled
Configure all necessary Aptible environment variables, including secure keys
Webhook Integration with Retell
Create an HTTPS webhook endpoint in n8n to receive call data from Retell
Process incoming data including name, phone number, call summary, transcript, and member ID
Encrypt and store sensitive data using PostgreSQL's pgp_sym_encrypt or similar method
Database Schema Configuration
Create a call_logs table with proper fields and secure storage for transcripts and PHI
Ensure data is encrypted at rest and structured for easy query/filtering
Optional Client Dashboard
Build a secure dashboard in Retool or Glide
Configure login access per client and apply row-level security to ensure clients only see their own data
Include filters by date, search capability for transcripts, and basic analytics
HIPAA Compliance and Security
Ensure full HIPAA compliance for all services in use
Enable HTTPS, access logging, and appropriate firewall/security group rules
Ensure PHI is not stored in logs or exposed in application errors
Deliverables
Deployed n8n instance running on Aptible
Fully configured Aptible PostgreSQL database
Working call ingestion workflow (Retell → n8n → database)
Encrypted call_logs table with sample data
Documentation covering architecture, configuration, and manual operations
Optional: Retool or Glide dashboard connected to Aptible database with user-specific views
Ideal Candidate Qualifications
Proven experience deploying on Aptible or similar HIPAA-compliant PaaS
Familiarity with Docker, n8n, PostgreSQL, and Retool or Glide
Strong understanding of HIPAA compliance and encryption best practices
Experience integrating APIs and building automated data pipelines
Timeline and Budget
Start date: Immediate
Deadline: Within 7–10 business days
Budget: Open to hourly or fixed-price proposals depending on scope and experience
How to Apply
Please include:
A short summary of your relevant experience (especially with Aptible, n8n, or HIPAA projects)
Examples of similar work or links to past deployments
Your estimated timeline and proposed rate
Any clarifying questions you need answered
