About The Position

We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to build, automate, and optimize the software delivery pipelines and infrastructure that support our industry-leading diagnostic test development and production environments. You'll focus on implementing CI/CD best practices, automating deployment workflows, and bridging the gap between development teams and infrastructure. Working primarily with GitHub Actions, Terraform, and cloud-native tools, you'll enable development and bioinformatics teams to ship software quickly, reliably, and securely across both GCP and AWS environments. This position is flexible for fully remote (US-based), onsite in Boulder, CO, or hybrid.

Requirements

• 5-10 years of experience in DevOps, software engineering, or related roles with strong automation focus.
• Proven expertise building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, particularly with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar tools.
• Strong hands-on experience with public cloud providers, specifically GCP and AWS.
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools, particularly Terraform, for automating infrastructure provisioning.
• Solid experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong scripting and programming skills in Python and Shell/Bash.
• Experience with configuration management tools such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet.
• Understanding of software development lifecycle, version control workflows (Git), and branching strategies.
• Experience implementing security best practices in CI/CD pipelines and cloud environments.
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work effectively with software engineers, bioinformatics scientists, and operations teams.
• Proven ability to balance quick wins with long-term architectural improvements.
• Strong written communication skills with demonstrated ability to create clear process documentation.
• Learner's mindset with a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to problem-solving.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in regulated industries (FDA, healthcare, clinical diagnostics) with understanding of validation and compliance requirements.
• Background in software development or engineering with understanding of application architecture.
• Experience with bioinformatics workflows, computational biology pipelines, or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) tools.
• Familiarity with observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic).
• Experience with testing frameworks and test automation in CI/CD contexts.
• Knowledge of GitOps practices and declarative deployment patterns.
• Cloud FinOps experience or cost optimization initiatives.
• Contributions to open-source DevOps tools or automation projects.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate software builds, testing, and deployment processes.
• Implement infrastructure-as-code solutions using Terraform to support repeatable, version-controlled infrastructure deployments.
• Automate deployment and configuration of applications, bioinformatics pipelines, and supporting services across GCP and AWS.
• Create and maintain automation scripts in Python and Shell to streamline operations, reduce manual work, and improve deployment reliability.
• Implement and manage containerized applications using Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Run, and AWS container services.
• Collaborate closely with software engineering and bioinformatics teams to understand requirements and optimize deployment workflows.
• Configure and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to ensure visibility into application and pipeline health.
• Implement security controls for CI/CD pipelines including secrets management, access controls, and vulnerability scanning.
• Manage configuration management solutions for application environments and bioinformatics workstations.
• Create comprehensive documentation for deployment processes, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides to support regulatory compliance.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce deployment friction, improve build times, and increase developer productivity.
• Provide technical support and mentorship to development teams on DevOps best practices, tooling, and cloud-native patterns.

Benefits

• Foresight offers benefits including paid vacation, sick time, and parental leave (if applicable), alongside medical, dental, vision, life, disability coverage, flexible spending accounts, and a 401k with company match.
