Design and implement infrastructure as code solutions that improve reliability, security, and maintainability of our cloud infrastructure
Lead and execute major infrastructure initiatives including cluster upgrades, security improvements, and architectural changes
Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable teams to deploy safely and efficiently
Improve observability across our systems through enhanced monitoring, logging, and alerting
Participate in an on-call rotation and lead incident response efforts when issues arise
Collaborate with development teams to improve application reliability and performance
Maintain and enhance our security posture through infrastructure hardening and automation
Create and maintain documentation for infrastructure, deployment processes, and incident response procedures

What you will bring:

Strong experience with Kubernetes administration, including cluster management, security, and troubleshooting
Proven track record implementing infrastructure as code using Terraform or similar tools
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, particularly with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or ArgoCD
Solid understanding of container technologies and build processes, especially Docker
Strong cloud provider (e.g. AWS) knowledge including networking, security, and infrastructure services; experience with Azure is a plus
Experience with incident response and on-call responsibilities in a production environment
Deep experience with Linux systems administration and debugging; familiarity with Windows Server environments is a plus
Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, Typescript etc.)
Understanding of security and networking concepts including OAuth2/OIDC, DNS, TLS, TCP/UDP, etc
Approximate experience: Bachelor's degree + 5-8 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or other similar professional experience.

The base salary range for this role is $170,000 – $190,000. Salary ranges are determined using current market compensation data for this role and adjusted based on experience, skills, and location.

What We Do

Brain monitoring is not easily accessible, interpretable or actionable. We're going to fix this, and we'd like you to help. With improved access to brain data and the right tools to act on it, clinicians could intervene in real-time, match life-altering therapies to the patients they benefit most, and treat previously untreatable neurological and psychiatric diseases. Beacon is building an interdisciplinary and uniquely talented team to implement this future.

Why Work With Us

We value curiosity and innovation. We approach problems like research - problems are an opportunity to learn something new and improve upon an outcome.
