[Hiring] Scientific Programmer IV @ECS Tech Inc

YDay - ECS Tech Inc is hiring a remote Scientific Programmer IV. 💸 Salary: usd 80,000 - 120,000 per year 📍Location: USA

Role Description

ECS is seeking a highly experienced Scientific Programmer (DevOps) to work remotely. The Scientific Programmer is technical and can communicate with science teams and leadership. This is a senior and self-managed person who has a high attention to detail and ownership of his/her tasks through closure. The ideal candidate will have experience with:

  • GitLab
  • Python
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • AWS
  • Terraform or AWS CDK
  • Jira
  • Confluence
  • Bitbucket

Supervisory Responsibilities:

Non-Supervisory Role

Duties/Responsibilities:

  • Strong communication skills: Ability to communicate clearly, respectfully, and calmly—both verbally and in writing—with a wide range of stakeholders (e.g., PhDs, scientists, developers, managers, and business stakeholders).
  • Documentation mindset: Demonstrated willingness to document actions, decisions, assumptions, and open questions in tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and similar platforms. Able to be clear, concise, and explicit about uncertainties.
  • Critical thinking and constructive challenge: Confidence to ask questions, incorporate feedback, and respectfully push back on ideas that appear incorrect, with a focus on reaching the best possible solution.
  • Software and cloud development knowledge: Working knowledge of software development and cloud concepts. Deep expertise is not required, but the candidate must be willing to learn from guidance, self-teach as gaps are identified, and continuously improve.
  • Experience with non-serverless architectures: Familiarity with non-serverless infrastructure such as EC2, containerized workloads, and related compute models.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) exposure: Some hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK, Azure Bicep, or equivalents), even if limited.
  • Architecture comprehension and feedback: Ability to review AWS architecture diagrams, ask clarifying questions, mentally model the system, and provide constructive, co-architectural feedback to ensure solutions are fit for purpose.
  • Diagramming and visual communication: Experience creating architecture diagrams (AWS-focused preferred) to clearly communicate ideas and designs beyond written explanations.
  • Strong sense of ownership (absolute requirement): Takes responsibility for their work end-to-end. Proactively monitors and fixes issues without being asked, seeks improvement independently, and treats failures as learning opportunities. Ownership is defined by accountability and growth—not perfection.

Salary Range: $80,000 - $120,000

Qualifications

  • BS/BA in Computer Science, a Technical Field, or other related disciplines.
  • Excellent communication and ability to communicate clearly, respectfully, and calmly—both verbally and in writing—with a wide range of stakeholders (e.g., PhDs, scientists, developers, managers, and business stakeholders).
  • Demonstrated experience migrating scientific applications from on-premise systems to a Cloud environment.
  • Demonstrated experience programming in Python and experience with Docker containers and Kubernetes using CI/CD pipelines.
  • Demonstrated experience working in an agile/scrum team.
  • Experience building and leveraging GitLab runners.
