Job Level
About the role
- Partner with ML research, data engineering, and application teams to translate requirements into reliable, secure, and cost-effective platform capabilities.
- Lead design reviews, RFCs, and proof-of-concepts; mentor team members on cloud, Kubernetes, and data best practices.
- Own incident response for platform components and drive continuous improvement through automation and standards.
- Design and implement secure, scalable, multi-cloud (GCP + AWS) configurations.
- Establish and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) standards with Terraform.
- Lead cloud-to-cloud data migration (e.g., GCS ↔ S3) including secure transfer planning, checksum/manifest validation, parallelization, and cutover strategy.
- Implement robust ingestion pipelines for medical images and metadata into structured data stores (e.g., BigQuery/Redshift/Postgres) with schema management, versioning, and data lineage.
- Create tools/services for dataset definition, preprocessing, curation, de-identification, and data quality checks.
- Architect and manage GPU/CPU clusters for distributed training and batch inference using managed services (e.g., SageMaker) and/or Kubernetes (EKS with autoscaling).
- Optimize storage tiers (S3/GCS, Glacier/Archive, Filestore/FSx, EBS/PersistentDisk) and caching strategies for high-throughput image workloads.
- Establish cost observability (per team/project/workload) with budgets, alerts, showback/chargeback, and automated idle resource cleanup.
- Own permissions and access management across clouds (AWS IAM, GCP IAM) with least privilege, role/attribute-based access, and service identities.
- Implement secrets management (e.g., AWS Secrets Manager, GCP Secret Manager, HashiCorp Vault) and key management (KMS).
Requirements
- 7+ years in DevOps/SRE/Platform roles, including multi-cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) experience.
- Deep proficiency with Terraform, CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab/CodeBuild/Cloud Build), and Kubernetes (EKS/GKE).
- Hands-on experience with GPU workloads for ML training/inference and object storage patterns for large image datasets.
- Proven track record in data migration (cloud-to-cloud), structured data ingestion (e.g., BigQuery/Redshift/Postgres), and schema/governance.
- Strong security mindset: IAM, secrets, KMS, network isolation, private endpoints, encryption, auditability.
- Demonstrated cost optimization (FinOps) across compute/storage/networking with measurable savings.
- Excellent cross-functional communication; ability to lead architectural direction and mentor engineers.
