Quick Summary

Key Responsibilities

Designing, building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate builds, testing, and deployment across development and production environments.

Technical Tools

EngineeringDevops Engineer

Our bioinformatics pipelines, software systems, and diagnostic infrastructure are growing in complexity and scale. Development teams need fast, reliable, secure delivery workflows. Bioinformatics scientists need reproducible, well-governed compute environments. And as a regulated clinical diagnostics company, we need it to be auditable and compliant.

This is a greenfield opportunity to shape how software gets built and deployed at Foresight Dx - designing CI/CD architecture, driving automation across GCP and AWS, and becoming the infrastructure partner our engineering and science teams depend on.

Responsibilities

You’ll work primarily with GitHub Actions, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes across GCP and AWS environments - collaborating day-to-day with software engineers, bioinformatics scientists, and operations teams. In practice, this means:

→
Designing, building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate builds, testing, and deployment across development and production environments.
→
Implementing infrastructure-as-code solutions with Terraform to support repeatable, version-controlled, and auditable infrastructure deployments.
→
Automating deployment and configuration of applications, bioinformatics pipelines, and supporting services across both GCP and AWS.
→
Building and maintaining automation scripts in Python and Shell/Bash to reduce manual operations, improve deployment reliability, and increase developer velocity.
→
Managing containerized applications using Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Run, and AWS container services.
→
Configuring and maintaining monitoring, logging, and altering solutions to provide full visibility into application and pipeline health.
→
Implementing security controls across CI/CD pipelines - including secrets management, access controls, and vulnerability scanning - with a regulated-environment mindset.
→
Managing configuration management for application environments and bioinformatics workstations.
→
Creating clear, comprehensive documentation for deployment processes, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides that support regulatory compliance requirements.
→
Driving continuous improvement initiatives to reduce deployment friction, improve build times, and make developers more productive.
→
Mentoring and providing technical guidance to development teams on DevOps best practices, cloud-native patterns, and tooling.
