Senior Engineer in Data Infrastructure team leading AWS platform engineering, scientific data systems and AI/ML workloads for genomics-first drug discovery platform.

Обязанности

Lead the architecture and evolution of our AWS-based infrastructure across cloud services, scientific data platforms and AI/ML workloads, balancing delivery speed, reliability, security and cost.
Design and implement reusable infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD and environment-management patterns that make production systems easier to build, test, deploy and operate.
Own cross-cutting engineering decisions for observability, identity and access management, networking, resilience, capacity, data movement and lifecycle management.
Partner with Cloud Engineers and Data Engineers to deliver integrated solutions, providing practical mentoring through technical design, code review, incident response and operational improvement.
Work with AI scientists, computational biologists and scientific teams to translate model development, training, evaluation, inference and data requirements into secure, reproducible platform capabilities.
Diagnose and resolve complex failures spanning infrastructure, data pipelines, applications and AI workloads; lead incident reviews and ensure corrective actions improve the wider system.
Establish and reinforce engineering standards for testing, documentation, release management, operational readiness, security and cost visibility across the Data Infrastructure team.
Evaluate new technologies and shape the infrastructure roadmap with the Head of Data Infrastructure, making pragmatic build-versus-buy and sequencing decisions for an early-stage biotech.

Требования

Essential
Substantial experience designing, building and operating production cloud or data infrastructure, typically gained through seven or more years of relevant work or equivalent demonstrated capability.
Advanced hands-on experience with AWS and ownership of multiple interdependent production systems, including the ability to troubleshoot failures across service boundaries.
Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, containerised workloads, cloud networking, identity and access management, and production observability.
Strong software engineering skills in Python and Linux, including automated testing, version control, code review and maintainable automation or platform tooling.
Experience supporting data-intensive life-science systems or workflows, with enough domain understanding to reason about large scientific datasets, reproducibility, provenance and scientific user needs.
Experience enabling AI/ML workloads in cloud environments, such as data preparation, model training, evaluation, inference, orchestration or production deployment.
A track record of leading complex technical initiatives under ambiguity, making explicit trade-offs and remaining accountable for reliable operational outcomes.
Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and communicate architecture, risk and delivery choices clearly to both technical and scientific stakeholders.
Desirable Experience
Genomics, digital pathology, structural biology or other high-volume scientific data modalities and formats.
AWS CDK, Batch, ECS, EKS, S3, RDS or Postgres, Athena, SageMaker, Bedrock, or equivalent services.
Scientific workflow and data orchestration frameworks such as Nextflow, Dagster, Airflow or similar.
Platform security, privacy or governance controls for sensitive biomedical or clinical data.
Identity platforms and federation technologies such as Entra ID, SSO or role-based access patterns.
Working in an early-stage biotech, research-intensive startup or another fast-changing environment with a small engineering team.
