This position reports to the Senior Director, Data and AI Platform and is part of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) Office.
Requirements
- 5+ years of software, platform, or infrastructure engineering experience, including hands-on data and/or AI/ML infrastructure work; CS/Engineering degree or equivalent practical experience.
- Deep, hands-on expertise with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP), plus working familiarity with multi-cloud environments and their data and AI services.
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi), CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), and containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), with proficiency in at least one language (Python, Go, Bash) for automation and tooling.
- Solid security and networking fundamentals for provisioning secure cloud resources, and a track record operating production systems: monitoring, observability, incident response, and reliability practices.
- Proven ability to set technical direction at platform scale: driving cross-team architecture and design decisions, establishing standards, and mentoring engineers in ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces.
Nice To Haves
- Previous experience in life sciences, diagnostics, or biotechnology (e.g., partnering with R&D, quality, clinical, manufacturing, or commercial teams)
- Data and engineering practices in industries governed by regulatory standards (e.g., HIPAA, GxP), compliance frameworks (e.g., SOX), and rigorous data governance requirements.
- Working in a matrixed environment
Responsibilities
- Build, automate, and operate scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi) to deliver repeatable, governed, and auditable environments.
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines that provide fast, secure, and consistent paths from code to production for internal teams.
- Develop and enhance a self-service platform enabling data scientists and engineers to provision compute, data, and ML resources easily, reducing barriers to adopting emerging technologies.
- Embed security, data governance, quality, and compliance by design, while establishing the platform’s operational backbone (observability, monitoring, alerting, and support tiers).
- Evaluate and integrate new tools and services, collaborate with leadership and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into capabilities, and mentor engineers while driving technical standards, documentation, and a culture of rigor and continuous learning.
