Cloud Engineering

Site Name: Cambridge 300 Technology Square, London The Stanley Building, USA - Pennsylvania - Philadelphia Posted Date: Apr 26 2024 At GSK, we want to supercharge our data capability to better understand our patients and accelerate our ability to discover vaccines and medicines. The Onyx Research Data Platform organization represents a major investment by GSK R&D and Digital & Tech, designed to deliver a step-change in our ability to leverage data, knowledge, and prediction to find new medicines.

We are a full-stack shop consisting of product and portfolio leadership, data engineering, infrastructure and DevOps, data / metadata / knowledge platforms, and AI/ML and analysis platforms, all geared toward:

Building a next-generation, metadata- and automation-driven data experience for GSK's scientists, engineers, and decision-makers, increasing productivity and reducing time spent on “data mechanics”

Providing best-in-class AI/ML and data analysis environments to accelerate our predictive capabilities and attract top-tier talent

Aggressively engineering our data at scale, as one unified asset, to unlock the value of our unique collection of data and predictions in real-time

Our Cloud Infrastructure team is dedicated to designing and maintaining a robust and scalable cloud platform that forms the backbone of our organization's digital ecosystem. This team is responsible for implementing and managing core cloud services, ensuring seamless integration with other systems, and maintaining the overall reliability and availability of the platform. Through collaboration with cross-functional teams, they drive the adoption of DevOps practices, automation, and continuous improvement initiatives to facilitate a smooth and agile development lifecycle.

A Cloud Engineer II is a technical contributor who can consistently take a business or technical problem, work it to a well-defined specifications, and execute on it at a high level. They have a strong focus on metrics, both for the impact of their work and for its inner workings/operations. They are a model for the team on best practices for software development in general (and their specialization in particular), including code quality, documentation, DevOps, and testing. They ensure robustness of our services and serve as an escalation point in the operation of existing services, pipelines, and modules.

A Cloud Engineer II should be familiar with the tools of their specialization and their customers and engaged with the open-source community surrounding them - potentially, even to the level of contributing pull requests.

Design, implement, and manage cloud infrastructure solutions based on best practices, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deploy and operate applications and platforms in a cloud native environment.

Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated infrastructure deployments.

Automate infrastructure provisioning and deployment processes using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.

Contribute to the creation and maintenance of documentation related to cloud architectures, configurations, and processes.

Stay aligned with industry best practice in cloud infrastructure, continuously improving our architecture and security posture.
