Troubleshoot and resolve issues across the stack, from cloud services to local environments
Develop, promulgate, and teach good infrastructure-as-code practices and DevOps standards
Work in concert with infrastructure engineers to improve platform capabilities in the interests of research
Easily adapt to new scientific domains and new technologies, producing best practices as you go
Essential Qualifications:
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience
Six-plus years of GCP experience, especially with BigQuery and Cloudrun, or 3+ years GCP and three-plus years of Azure or AWS experience, especially in automation
Six-plus years of DevOps experience, including containerization, CI/CD (GitHub actions preferred, Azure DevOps nice to have)
Six-plus years of Python and shell scripting experience. Strong Java experience highly desired
Strong full-stack development experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems, including React, Next.js, and FastAPI (Python), with the ability to build, deploy, and maintain both frontend and backend services in a DevOps environment
Three-plus years of Terraform experience
Preferred Qualifications:
Prior experience working in the Life Sciences industry
Experience using automation tools and configuration management
Nextflow pipeline development and deployment experience
Experience with scientific software tools and programming languages commonly used in Life Sciences and Clinical Computing environments
Experience with POSIT products (Package Manager, Connect, Workbench) either in an end-user or administrator capacity
Additional Information
Great talent should benefit from a great work environment. If you join our team, you’ll have access to:
A competitive salary and bonus package based on experience
Comprehensive health and wellness benefits, including Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
Company-provided Life and Long-Term Disability Insurance
