About the role

About the Role

Join the platform engineering team at a data infrastructure company serving scientific and AI-driven workflows. You will lead the architecture and development of a foundational platform that turns diverse laboratory data into a reliable, queryable knowledge base.

What You'll Do

  • Own the architecture, delivery, security, and scaling of the platform's data and execution layers.
  • Build and operate ingestion pipelines, APIs, microservices, and storage systems that structure varied scientific data while preserving provenance.
  • Manage knowledge graph and vector search systems to support combined semantic and structured retrieval.
  • Develop high-concurrency services in Go and Python, including controls for agent access and isolated execution.
  • Establish security boundaries for authentication, tenant isolation, secrets, encryption, and zero-trust practices.
  • Own cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and observability, and define service objectives and developer workflows.
  • Set engineering standards through architecture guidance, code reviews, mentorship, and team building.
  • Partner with company leadership on team design, recruiting, and hiring.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 5 years of platform or infrastructure engineering experience, with a track record building and operating production backend infrastructure, data platforms, or distributed systems.
  • Deep proficiency with Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and modern CI/CD systems.
  • Experience designing ingestion for messy, multi-source data, including schema harmonization and entity resolution.
  • Strong Go and Python skills; familiarity with FastAPI, TypeDB or TypeQL, Qdrant, GitHub Actions, OpenTelemetry, and Prometheus is relevant.
  • Dedicated infrastructure engineering experience alongside software engineering, with the ability to guide architecture and mentor engineers.
  • Scientific data, computational biology, biotech, or compliance experience is beneficial.
