• Extensive hands-on experience with AWS, including advanced networking, security configurations, and cost optimization.
• Expert-level proficiency in Kubernetes setup, management, and securing containerized applications in production environments.
• Strong background in implementing infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform or similar tools.
• Deep understanding of security best practices, particularly in healthcare (HIPAA compliance) and e-commerce environments (PCI-DSS compliance).
• Proven ability to build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Bitbucket, Helm, and container technologies (Docker, etc.).
• Proficient in scripting languages like Bash, Python, and YAML for automation and system management.
• Solid knowledge of Linux system internals, package management, and networking tools.
• Experience with management of OCI is preferred.
• Experience using AI-based monitoring, automation, or incident response tools (e.g., for log parsing, anomaly detection, or predictive scaling) is a strong plus.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Fluency in English, both written and verbal.

About Sequencing

Sequencing is powering the future of personalized health. We are the platform that transforms a person's genome into a lifelong source of straightforward, actionable insights - for individuals, families, and healthcare professionals. By providing the application layer to your DNA, we turn complex genetic data into recurring value throughout every stage of life.

Our unique, clinical-grade Whole Genome Sequencing unlocks the most complete view of your DNA, screening for almost all known health conditions, traits, and medication responses - and translating that information into clear, actionable steps for managing health risks, optimizing wellness, and extending longevity . As whole genome sequencing becomes a standard part of life,

Sequencing is already the trusted platform where people safely store their DNA data - and will become the lifelong home for every genome on Earth. We're a fully remote, global team of innovators, scientists, and builders, united by a mission to make genomics accessible, actionable, and life-changing for everyone. Proudly named GenomeWeb's Best Place to Work in 2024, Sequencing is venture-backed and scaling rapidly to meet surging demand in the fast-growing personal genomics market.

If you're excited to help redefine how the world thinks about health, join us in building the platform that brings every genome to life.
