Senior DevOps Engineer / Data Architect

About the Position

We are building a browser-based data analytics platform with computational capabilities for biopharma. We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer / Data Architect to own infrastructure design, automate deployments, and optimize performance at scale. This is a DevOps-first role, but if you have experience with systems architecture, high-performance or scientific computing, data engineering, that’s a huge plus.

Key Responsibilities

DevOps & Infra Engineering (80% focus)

• Design, automate, and maintain scalable cloud & on-prem infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes)
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
• Enhance system observability and monitoring
• Ensure security, performance, and fault tolerance across all environments
• Simplify deployment and infrastructure management to keep maintenance minimal
• Help customers with deployments and troubleshoot issues
• Write infrastructure docs and runbooks

Performance Optimization & Systems Engineering (15% focus)

• Architect and prototype an OLAP solution that syncs with arbitrary external databases
• Architect the caching solution for scientific computations
• Optimize database performance and backend services
• Design and refine cloud-based data processing architectures for analytics pipelines
• Work with backend teams to ensure smooth integrations between applications & infrastructure

Data Infrastructure (5% bonus, not required)

• Integrate and optimize data warehouses (ClickHouse, Redshift, Snowflake)
• Optimize query performance and storage for large-scale analytics

Technologies

AWS (ECS, EKS), CloudFormation, Terraform, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, CloudWatch, Docker, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Python, Bash

Requirements
