Inato is a Tech for Good company striving to bring clinical research to each and every patient, regardless of who they are or where they live. To do this, we are building the world's first clinical trial platform to create greater visibility, access, and engagement across a more diverse population of doctors and their patients.
Drug development is a challenging, intellectually complex, and rewarding endeavor: we enable global pharmaceutical companies to confidently partner with community-based researchers to increase patient access to the latest medical innovations. Our AI-powered platform currently offers clinical trials from leading companies to over 5,500 sites across the globe and we are well poised for growth in 2026.
We are a growing team of passionate pharmaceutical experts, software and AI engineers, professional services members, and many more—all bringing their unique perspectives to solve the challenges facing clinical research.
Inato is the recent recipient of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024, Fierce Healthcare’s Fierce 15, and Built In's Best Places to Work 2025.
The RoleAs our Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will own the maintainability and scalability of the infrastructure that powers Inato's platform. Reporting to Bastien, our CTO, you will split your time between projects that strengthen our infrastructure and run work that keeps it healthy.
Until now, infrastructure work has been a shared responsibility between all members of the tech department. Now that we have multiples teams, more complex services, and a rapidly growing volume of patient data and system integrations, we believe it's time for a dedicated position. This is a high-ownership, senior individual-contributor role: you will inherit a functioning system, and be responsible for bringing it to the next level.
Your success will be measured by the impact of your projects on product delivery, and your ability to prevent and solve production issues.

Redesign our IAM model. Move us from ad-hoc, hand-managed permissions to a clean least-privilege structure managed as code, making access auditable, consistent, and easy to reason about as we scale.
Centralize our logging. Re-architect how we handle logs so everything flows into a single dedicated sink project, giving the team one reliable place to observe and debug across environments.
Bring our cloud costs under control. Build cost visibility and guardrails into our GCP footprint, surfacing waste, setting budgets and alerting, and making cost a first-class signal in how we run infrastructure.
