Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard | Cambridge, MA | DevOps Engineer | Onsite
We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to join our tightly knit team of scientists, software engineers, computational biologists, physicians, and geneticists. You will contribute to several high-profile genetics resources that have been used by tens of thousands of researchers and physicians who aim to understand the molecular basis for disease. Projects falling under your portfolio will include gnomAD (<a href="), an unprecedented catalogue of human genetic variation at a massive scale; seqr (<a href="), genetic analysis software that has helped over one thousand families afflicted by debilitating rare genetic disorders receive a molecular diagnosis; ClinGen (<a href="), an expert curated public repository of clinical relevant genes and variants; and the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative (<a href="), a global collaborative of hundreds of investigators across over 40 countries with the goal of uncovering the genetic determinants behind susceptibility to COVID-19.
Responsibilities:
Work closely with other software engineers to develop robust architectural designs and continuous integration processes.
Handle identity access management, logging, alerts, and website traffic analytics. Analyze cloud compute costs, compile results, and propose cost-saving strategies. Develop and maintain automated workflows for processing large genetic datasets. Write build tools and scripts in Bash, Python, or JavaScript. Technologies relevant to this role: Docker, Kubernetes, Apache Kafka, Google Cloud Deployment Manager, Terraform, Apache Airflow, GCP Dataproc, and Hail (experience with all not required).
Key to our success is growing a strong team with a diverse membership who foster a culture of continual learning, and who support the growth and success of one another. Towards this end, we are committed to seeking applications from women and from underrepresented groups. We know that many excellent candidates choose not to apply despite their capabilities; please allow us to enthusiastically counter this tendency. If you are a DevOps engineer who is eager to grow professionally and to contribute to our team culture and to participate in high-impact, open science, then we encourage you to apply.
