Senior Cloud Data Engineer
AWS • Kubernetes • Data Platforms • Genomics • Oxford (Hybrid)
You are an experienced cloud engineer who loves building scalable infrastructure, solving complex technical challenges, and taking ownership of platforms that matter. You want to work somewhere where your decisions directly influence scientific discovery, not just another software product.
THE COMPANY
We are working with an innovative biotechnology company combining genomics, computational biology, machine learning, and drug discovery to identify entirely new therapeutic targets hidden within the non-coding genome. Working at the intersection of biology and technology, their computational platform underpins every stage of scientific decision-making. As their datasets continue to grow and their pipelines become increasingly sophisticated, they are now investing in a senior cloud engineering leader who can take ownership of the infrastructure that powers the business.
