• Develop, promulgate, and teach good infrastructure‑as‑code practices and Dev Ops standards.
• Work in concert with infrastructure engineers to improve platform capabilities in the interests of research.
• Easily adapt to new scientific domains and new technologies, producing best practices as you go.

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience
• Six-plus years of GCP experience, especially with Big Query and Cloudrun, or 3+ years GCP and three-plus years of Azure or AWS experience, especially in automation.
• Six-plus years of Dev Ops experience, including containerization, CI/CD (Git Hub actions preferred, Azure Dev Ops nice to have).
