About the Role

Join a data infrastructure and analytics team as its senior engineering anchor. You will shape and scale a foundational platform that brings complex scientific data together for use by scientists and AI agents.

What You'll Do

  • Own the platform architecture, delivery, security posture, and scaling strategy.
  • Build and operate ingestion pipelines, APIs, microservices, and storage systems that normalize scientific data while preserving provenance.
  • Manage knowledge graphs and vector search to support hybrid symbolic and semantic retrieval.
  • Develop high-concurrency services in Go and Python, including controlled agent write boundaries and isolated execution environments.
  • Design security controls for service authentication, tenant isolation, secrets, encryption, and zero-trust access.
  • Own cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and observability, and establish SLOs and developer workflows.
  • Set engineering standards through architecture guidance, code reviews, and mentorship, while helping grow the platform team.
  • Partner with company leaders on engineering team design and recruiting.

What We're Looking For

  • Three to seven years of platform or infrastructure engineering experience, with a track record building production backend infrastructure, data platforms, or distributed systems.
  • Dedicated infrastructure engineering experience in addition to software engineering.
  • Strong proficiency with Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and modern CI/CD systems.
  • Experience designing ETL or ELT pipelines for complex, unstructured enterprise or scientific data.
  • Experience with Go, Python, FastAPI, TypeDB/TypeQL, Qdrant, GitHub Actions, OpenTelemetry, and Prometheus.
  • Experience with computational biology, biotech data systems, or compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 is a plus.
