Senior DevOps Engineer

Sequencing.com is on a mission to make advanced whole genome sequencing accessible and actionable for everyone. We’re a startup at the intersection of SaaS, eCommerce, and health tech - offering DNA testing kits, secure DNA data storage, and a growing marketplace of reports and proprietary AI tools that help people understand their genetic data.

About the Role

We are seeking an innovative Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Engineering team. This role is crucial to the daily development, deployment, and improvement of Sequencing.com’s large-scale technical infrastructure. The ideal candidate is a self-sufficient operator comfortable handling multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced startup environment. We are especially interested in individuals who use AI tools to enhance DevOps workflows, increase reliability, and accelerate delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and optimize DevOps processes for Sequencing.com’s large-scale technical suite.

• Manage CI/CD pipelines related to Kubernetes deployments, ensuring high availability and reliability.

• Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters and complex microservices-based applications.

• Leverage AI-driven tools and techniques to accelerate diagnostics, anomaly detection, and infrastructure optimization.

• Implement robust security measures, focusing on compliance with healthcare (e.g., HIPAA) and e-commerce data protection standards.

• Architect and automate infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, ensuring secure and scalable environments.

• Identify vulnerabilities in CI/CD workflows and proactively develop automation to mitigate risks—potentially using AI for threat detection and log analysis.

• Administer Linux (primarily Ubuntu) and Windows systems, ensuring security best practices are enforced.

• Manage networking configurations, including VPNs, firewalls, and routing with a focus on secure access.

• Support 24/7 live site operations, maintaining system uptime, security, and performance.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to communicate technical solutions effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Maintain detailed, clear documentation for procedures, security protocols, and system configurations.

Qualifications

• 5+ years as a DevOps, Software, or Infrastructure Engineer, with at least 2 years in a senior role.

• 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.
