Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, equivalent technical experience
10+ years of DevOps experience
3+ years of team leadership experience
Deep experience architecting solutions in AWS (certifications are a plus)
Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
Deep experience with container orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS-specific experience a plus)
Deep experience with GitOps and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
Experience deploying applications in k8s using Helm, Kustomize, and ArgoCD
Strong understanding of cloud-based networking: VPC, transit gateways, security groups
Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog and Prometheus
Proficiency in Python and shell scripting for system orchestration
High-quality testing: Our laboratory is CLIA certified and CAP accredited and most of our tests are also New York State approved
Advanced detection: By interrogating genes for complex variants, we can identify the underlying causes of conditions that may otherwise be missed
Thorough analysis: We classify variants according to our custom adaptation of the most recent guidelines. We then leverage our rich internal database for additional interpretation evidence
Customized care: Our experts review all test results and write reports in a clear, concise, and personalized way. We also include information for research studies in specific clinical situations
Impactful discovery: Our researchers continue working to find answers even after testing is complete. Through both internal research efforts and global collaborations, we have identified and published hundreds of new disease-gene relationships and developed novel tools for genomic data analysis. These efforts ultimately deliver more diagnostic findings to individuals
