Edison Scientific builds and deploys AI scientist agents to accelerate science and the development of new medicines. As a Software Engineer on the Cloud team, you will help build and scale the technology behind its autonomous scientific discovery platform. The role focuses on making the platform deployable within enterprise clients’ cloud infrastructure, where compliance and security requirements limit first-party access to client data.

- Deep familiarity with cloud products, including AWS or GCP, security, and deployment operations.
- Strong understanding of application network architecture, including VPCs, DNS, secrets, and proxies.
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane, and GitOps workflows.
- Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with enterprise clients.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Kubernetes, multi-tenant architectures, or deploying software into customer-controlled environments.
- Experience with AI applications or scientific computing solutions.
- Prior experience in startups or small teams with significant architectural ownership and ambiguity.
- Experience scaling systems or platforms through periods of rapid growth.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate systems that make the platform deployable within client cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP.
- Develop operators, infrastructure tooling, and automation to streamline the bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) deployment process.
- Support client deployments and onboarding hands-on, working directly with enterprise clients’ engineering and security teams.
- Partner with the forward deployed engineering team to scope requirements and deliver on in-flight engagements.
- Diagnose and resolve bottlenecks in the BYOC process to streamline operations and expand engagement capacity.
- Contribute to technical decision-making and architecture for the BYOC product.
