We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated Site Reliability Engineer to work at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) located on the Wellcome Genome Campus near Cambridge in the UK.
The successful candidate will join the Software Development and Operations team (SDO) at EMBL-EBI which is responsible for bringing new technology into the EBI to improve the service provided to internal and external users and projects.
The SDO team is defining, building and delivering new services that will benefit both our internal users and the external scientific community. This role will be part of a team of DevOps engineers, who are responsible for building environments for:
- Support of file transfer services including GridFTP, Aspera, Globus, FTP, HTTP and rsync.
- A Continuous Integration and Deployment environment for our public web services to provide cloud portable applications.
- Deploying, integrating and operating a scalable and resilient web service hosting environment for our public services in collaboration with other teams within TSC.
- Maintenance and operation of internally and externally developed software as required.
The Senior Site Reliability Engineer position will contribute directly to one or more of these projects and will help us move to more automation of the production environment. The Senior SRE will help guide other members of the team and help with day to day prioritisation.
Qualifications and Experience
You will have a Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science or a related discipline, or have equivalent experience. The role would be suitable for a Unix/Linux systems administrator with some software engineering background.
