Job Description
RCH Solutions is seeking a Cloud Engineer to design, build, and operate cloud-native services on Google Cloud Platform in support of research and bioinformatics workloads. The right candidate will develop microservices and web applications that put scientific computing directly in the hands of researchers and will build and maintain the workflow orchestration that runs bioinformatics pipelines at scale. You will function as a team member integrating cloud services, scientific applications, and upstream and downstream data systems into a coherent platform. Our ideal candidate is an experienced and talented engineer who is equally comfortable writing production code and reasoning about infrastructure, and who will be instrumental in transforming how computing services are leveraged to support our client's science.
This role will involve driving architecture, roadmaps, and execution of projects that deliver GCP-based platform services to scientific end users. You will develop and implement engineering best practices for customers and RCH applications teams; engaging in the fast-moving realm of Life Sciences, prioritizing innovation. The cloud landscape and the bioinformatics tooling ecosystem are both continuously evolving, with new services and pipeline frameworks released constantly. You know how to distinguish hype from reality and are comfortable making recommendations that best suit our clients’ needs.
