About The Role

Here at Insmed Cambridge, we are seeking a highly skilled DevSecOps Engineer to join us as we build a wet-lab and computational platform to develop therapies for patients with rare genetic diseases.

• Scripting and automation of common cloud tasks.
• Design procedures for system troubleshooting and maintenance.
• Work extensively together with our internal security team to resolve security and resource access matters.

Who You Are

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Bioinformatics or equivalent experience.
• Excellent communication skills to collaborate with our in-silico and greater cloud and IT teams.
• Deep understanding of cloud systems (especially GCP).
• Strong understanding of infrastructure-as-code using Terraform (alternatively CloudFormation, Ansible, etc.).
• Strong expertise in Kubernetes cluster setup, deployment and management.
• Experience with GitHub CoPilot or Jenkins.
• Experience with Docker and management / creation of Kubernetes clusters using GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine).
• Ability to write, test, and review high-quality programs and scripts in python
