About this Role
This is a new role on our newly created DevOps team
You will own the reliability, security, and standardisation of Deciphex’s cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes environments, and CI/CD pipelines.
Working closely with our Principal Engineer, you will drive the DevOps stream that underpins product delivery, SRE maturity, and security posture.
This is a hands‑on senior role with meaningful influence over platform standards and engineering experience.
What you'll help us achieve
Cloud & Platform Engineering
Maintain and improve AWS environments, including Control Tower and multi‑account governance.
Implement and maintain Terraform modules for standardised infrastructure deployment.
Support GPU infrastructure across on‑prem and cloud environments.
Kubernetes & GitOps
Operate and optimise Kubernetes clusters, ingress, service mesh, logging, and metrics pipelines.
Maintain and improve GitOps tooling (ArgoCD/Flux).
Build and maintain Helm templates and infrastructure charts.
Manage cluster lifecycle and upgrade strategy.
CI/CD & Reliability
Maintain Linux runners and hardened CI/CD workflows.
Improve deployment reliability, rollback safety, and release flow.
Enhance observability through metrics, dashboards, and alerts.
Security‑by‑Default
Implement secure identity, access, and secrets patterns in infrastructure and pipelines.
Partner with Cybersecurity Engineering to embed guardrails and secure defaults.
Awareness & Best Practices
Promote secure, reliable DevOps practices across engineering teams.
Maintain shared templates and standards (Helm, GitOps, IaC, pipelines).
Share practical knowledge through documentation and short internal sessions.
What You’ll Need to Be Successful in the Role
Required
5/6+ years DevOps / Cloud
AWS environment (mandatory)
Deep expertise in Kubernetes, GitOps (ArgoCD or Flux), Helm, Terraform.
Strong CI/CD experience (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or similar).
Solid understanding of cloud identity, RBAC, and least‑privilege models.
Experience with logging/monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, OpenTelemetry).
Bonus Points
Experience supporting GPU infrastructure.
SRE experience with on‑prem and cloud environments.
Familiarity with Zero‑Trust patterns and secure DevOps principles.
Experience working in regulated environments (healthcare, pharma, ISO 27001, SOC2).
Success Indicators
Platform reliability improves and deployment failures decrease.
Infrastructure changes are predictable and well understood.
Engineering teams adopt shared standards with minimal friction.
What This Is Not
Not an infrastructure ticket‑queue role.
Not a siloed engineering position.
Not a one‑off project role.
Benefits
✨ Meaningful work that improves patient outcomes.
