- You’ll work primarily with GitHub Actions, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes across GCP and AWS environments - collaborating day-to-day with software engineers, bioinformatics scientists, and operations teams.
- Designing, building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate builds, testing, and deployment across development and production environments. •
- Automating deployment and configuration of applications, bioinformatics pipelines, and supporting services across both GCP and AWS. •
- Managing containerized applications using Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Run, and AWS container services. •
- Qualifications Required • 5-10 years of
- experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or software engineering with a strong automation focus. •
- Proven expertise building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines - GitHub Actions
- experience with GCP and AWS, including deploying and managing production workloads in both environments. •
- Proficiency with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code automation and provisioning. • Solid
- experience with containerization and orchestration - Docker and Kubernetes are core to this role. •
- Strong scripting skills in Python and Shell/Bash; you’re comfortable writing automation from scratch, not just adapting templates. •
- Experience with configuration management tools such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet. •
