DevOps Engineer

Foresight Diagnostics, now part of Natera, is a molecular diagnostics company focused on non-invasive cancer detection through innovative technologies. They are seeking a DevOps Engineer to build and maintain delivery systems that support the development of their cancer detection platform, ensuring reliable and compliant infrastructure in a regulated clinical environment.

Responsibilities:

• Designing, building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate builds, testing, and deployment across development and production environments
• Implementing infrastructure-as-code solutions with Terraform to support repeatable, version-controlled, and auditable infrastructure deployments
• Automating deployment and configuration of applications, bioinformatics pipelines, and supporting services across both GCP and AWS
• Building and maintaining automation scripts in Python and Shell/Bash to reduce manual operations, improve deployment reliability, and increase developer velocity
• Managing containerized applications using Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Run, and AWS container services
• Configuring and maintaining monitoring, logging, and altering solutions to provide full visibility into application and pipeline health
• Implementing security controls across CI/CD pipelines - including secrets management, access controls, and vulnerability scanning - with a regulated-environment mindset
• Managing configuration management for application environments and bioinformatics workstations
• Creating clear, comprehensive documentation for deployment processes, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides that support regulatory compliance requirements
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives to reduce deployment friction, improve build times, and make developers more productive
• Mentoring and providing technical guidance to development teams on DevOps best practices, cloud-native patterns, and tooling

Requirements:

• 5-10 years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or software engineering with a strong automation focus
• Proven expertise building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines - GitHub Actions experience strongly preferred; GitLab CI or Jenkins also relevant
• Strong hands-on experience with GCP and AWS, including deploying and managing production workloads in both environments
• Proficiency with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code automation and provisioning

• Solid understanding of software development lifecycle, Git Version control workflows, and branching strategies
• Experience implementing security best practices in CI/CD pipelines and cloud environments
• Strong written communication skills and a track record of producing clear, useful process documentation
• A pragmatic, learner's mindset - you balance quick wins with thoughtful long-term architecture decisions
• Experienced in regulatory industry - FDA, clinical diagnostics, healthcare - with exposure to validation and compliance documentation requirements
• Background in software development or engineering with understanding of application architecture
• Familiarity with bioinformatics workflows, NGS pipelines, or computational biology environments
• Experience with observability platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or New Relic
• Knowledge of GitOps practices and declarative deployment patterns
• Cloud FinOps experience or cost optimization work in multi-cloud environments
• Contributions to open-source DevOps tools or automation projects
