The Role: An exciting opportunity to join Hlx Life Science as a DevOps Engineer, contributing to the secure design, development, and automation of our cloud-based infrastructure and products. Working closely with the Product Engineering, Data Engineering and Product teams to implement scalable, secure, and reliable features. In this role, you’ll leverage your experience, especially in OCI, to enhance the security and performance of our cloud environments. Flexibility, a security-first mindset, and a proactive approach will be key to succeeding in this role, as the team operates within a start-up environment. You will be involved in building and maintaining the infrastructure, designing secure automation pipelines, managing cloud environments, and ensuring the security and compliance of our systems. You will play a critical role in delivering end-to-end solutions that integrate seamlessly, run efficiently, and uphold the highest security standards. Primary Responsibilities: Design, implement, and maintain secure cloud infrastructure using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Develop and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions using tools such as Terraform, ensuring secure and repeatable cloud deployments. Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines with a focus on automated security testing, deployment, and monitoring. Collaborate with the engineering teams to ensure security is integrated from feature development to deployment. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and mitigate risks across systems and environments. Work closely with internal and external R&D teams to integrate security best practices into new and existing features. Ensure compliance with security standards and regulations (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC2). Implement monitoring solutions to detect and respond to security incidents in real-time. Perform root cause analysis and troubleshoot infrastructure and security-related issues in production. Mentor junior engineers in security best practices and DevOps methodologies. Collaborate with Technical leads to continuously improve security processes and internal workflows. Required qualifications: Strong hands-on experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), including provisioning, configuration, and management of OCI services. Proficiency in Terraform or similar infrastructure automation tools. Experience implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Github Actions) with a focus on automated security testing. In-depth knowledge of containerisation technologies (e.g., Docker) and orchestration tools like Kubernetes. Solid understanding of cloud security best practices, including identity and access management (IAM), network security, and encryption. Experience with monitoring and alerting tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack). Familiarity with Git or other version control systems.
