## About the role

This role sits at the intersection of cloud engineering and life sciences.

- Deep expertise in AWS (preferred) and/or Azure, including compute, storage, networking, IAM, and managed services for data and ML
- Demonstrated experience designing and operating infrastructure for scientific or biotech workloads — genomics pipelines, HPC, -omics data processing, or equivalent
- Strong proficiency in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation) and CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
- Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS/EKS)
- Familiarity with bioinformatics workflow frameworks (Nextflow, Snakemake, WDL) and scientific compute environments
