AWS DevOps Engineer (Bioinformatics Sector)
Oxford (1 day per month in office).
£75-90k + Benefits.

  • This role cannot offer Visa Sponsorship.

  • To apply for this role you must have experience working in the Bioinformatics / Life Sciences / Genomics / BioTech sector.
Your new company
I am exclusively recruiting the 1st AWS DevOps Engineer for a fast-growing, clinical-stage life sciences organisation developing a first-in-class technology to tackle diseases, including cancer and autoimmune conditions.
The business is privately funded, entering a critical growth phase, and investing heavily into its data and cloud capability to support scientific discovery and clinical delivery. With active clinical programmes underway, technology is a core enabler rather than a support function.

You must be UK based and this role requires a minimum of 1 day per month in their offices in Oxfordshire.

Your new role
This role exists because science has moved faster than infrastructure. Your job is to build the platform that lets world-class scientists move even faster without breaking things. It's impact plus ownership at the point of scale.
You will join a small, highly collaborative IT and data function, working closely with bioinformaticians and scientists to design and build a scalable, secure and reproducible AWS platform.

This role sits at the intersection of DevOps, data engineering and scientific computing. You will own cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines and workflow automation, enabling complex data and bioinformatics pipelines to run reliably, repeatably and at scale.

You will play a key role in shaping data strategy, governance and reproducibility standards as the organisation grows from discovery into later-stage clinical development.

What you'll need to succeed
To apply for this role you must have experience working in the Bioinformatics / Life Sciences / Genomics / BioTech sector.

This is positioned as a mid-level or senior hire requiring 5+ years AWS DevOps Experience and a background supporting data-heavy or research-led environments,

You will have strong experience with AWS architecture and infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines and automation, Docker and containerised workflows and Linux system administration.

Experience building data pipelines and supporting analytics platforms will be beneficial, as will an appreciation for data governance and reproducibility/traceability.

What you'll get in return
You will be joining a well funded, mission driven organisation at a pivotal stage of growth, where technology is central to scientific delivery rather than a support function.

The company offers mainly UK remote working, 29 days annual leave plus bank holidays, private health insurance, good pension contributions and health and wellbeing allowance. There is a strong focus on trust, autonomy and sustainable working practices, with an environment that empowers engineers to make meaningful technical decisions early on.

What you need to do now
At Hays Technology, we are shaping the future of recruitment. The rapid adoption of cloud, which is making customer interfaces more engaging and creating a seamless engagement with businesses, means that from the foundation of your organisation up, software developers are critical to success. As the competition for talent grows, we're ready and waiting to help developers really make an impact on organisations, so talk to us today. We are Hays Technology.
