[Hiring] Cloud Platform Architect, Tech Lead @TetraScience

Role Description

Own the cloud infrastructure, CI/CD systems, and deployment automation for TetraScience’s multi-tenant SaaS platform serving global biopharma customers. This is a hands-on technical lead role. You will lead through technical depth and influence across teams. Strong architecture and implementation skills are important for success in this role. You will evolve our cloud architecture, build substantial parts of it in Python, CloudFormation and Terraform. You will architect and build deployment pipelines to AWS and Databricks, and drive the engineering practices that determine how fast and safely we ship software.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Platform Engineering roles, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity
• Deep, daily-driver coding experience: programmatically managing infrastructure through Python, APIs and IaC tools is second nature to you. The web console is an afterthought.
• Strong production AWS experience: compute (EKS, ECS, EC2), networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, ALB/NLB, Route53), storage (S3, EBS, EFS), security (IAM, KMS, Security Hub, GuardDuty)
• Designed and built CI/CD pipeline infrastructure (not just consumed existing pipelines). GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins at scale.
• Container orchestration: ECS, Docker, Kubernetes (EKS preferred), service mesh concepts
• Scripting and automation: Python or Go. Bash only is not enough
• Git-based workflows, branch strategies, and pull-request-driven infrastructure changes
• Experience designing and operating resilient and scalable cloud solutions
• Experience operating in a regulated or compliance-sensitive environment (GxP, SOC2, HIPAA, FedRAMP, or similar)

Requirements

• Deep, hands-on AWS experience: Serverless Architecture, EKS/ECS, VPC/networking, IAM, KMS, CloudWatch, Lambda, S3, EC2, Kinesis, Athena, Glue, CloudTrail, CostExplorer.
• Understanding of Well-Architected Framework principles and application in daily work.
• Databricks experience is strongly preferred.
• Embed security into the product and pipelines: container image scanning, SAST/DAST integration, secrets management, least-privilege IAM, and compliance-as-code.
• Work in a GxP-regulated environment where auditability and traceability of deployments are non-negotiable.
• Production monitoring, alerting, log aggregation, and incident response infrastructure.
• Support for developer teams with a blameless postmortem culture.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation with equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Flexible remote-first work arrangements
• Company-paid Life Insurance, LTD/STD
• 401(k)
