Senior Software Engineer

Brisbane, California

About this opportunity:

Our infrastructure team is a small but critical group where you will help set the culture and build the systems that allow us to move fast without breaking things. This is an opportunity to do meaningful engineering work that will directly save lives.

We value:

  • Rapid iteration and tight feedback loops
  • Continual improvement rather than disruption
  • Technical simplicity and elegance
  • A focus on the larger goals
  • Mutual respect and blameless postmortems
  • A culture of diversity and inclusion

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help design, build, and maintain secure and scalable infrastructure across our cloud environments. You’ll contribute to projects that support our clinical lab systems, scientific computing pipelines, and regulated production workloads — while growing your technical leadership and deepening your infrastructure expertise.

This role is ideal for an engineer who is experienced with cloud platforms and Kubernetes, comfortable working independently, and ready to take ownership of well-scoped systems or infrastructure components.  Additionally, this role is Hybrid and will entail managing our onsite Nvidia infrastructure.

As an engineering-forward biotech company, we apply modern engineering practices to build reliable, maintainable, scalable, and secure production systems for our clinical lab and Computational and Molecular Research Scientists. 

The role reports to the Director, Cloud Infrastructure.

What you’ll do:

Execution:

  • Design and implement cloud infrastructure components using Pulumi (Python)
  • Manage and maintain Kubernetes clusters (AKS, GKE), including node pools, ILBs, and autoscaling configurations
  • Define observability patterns and implement metrics, dashboards, and alerts in support of production reliability
  • Contribute to our CI/CD platforms, including build pipeline improvements, deployment strategies, and release automation
  • Participate in incident response and postmortem analysis for infrastructure-related outages or events

Communication and Collaboration:

  • Partner with team members, TPMs, and security stakeholders to deliver infrastructure that meets compliance and reliability requirements
  • Lead technical implementation of projects or initiatives within your scope
  • Perform thorough, constructive code reviews and help level up peers through pairing and design discussions
  • Communicate clearly with cross-functional teams and represent infrastructure in collaborative settings

Culture:

  • Model Freenome’s values and principles in your work and interactions
  • Promote a collaborative, respectful engineering culture with clear communication and inclusive practices
  • Actively contribute to documentation, playbooks, and engineering standards within the team
  • Help foster a strong team culture of accountability, learning, and psychological safety

Technical Leadership:

  • Independently lead the delivery of projects or well-bounded infrastructure systems
  • Provide mentorship to junior engineers and review designs within your domain
  • Know when to make architectural tradeoffs with guidance and justify design decisions based on long-term impact
  • Help evolve our infrastructure practices and participate in team strategy discussions

Must haves:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience
  • Experience with NVIDIA DGX systems and NVIDIA software tech stack
  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering roles (Python preferred), with at least 2 years focused on cloud infrastructure
  • Production experience with Kubernetes in cloud environments (e.g., AKS, GKE, or EKS)
  • Proficiency with Terraform, Pulumi, or similar IaC tools
  • Experience with CI/CD, including deployment automation and release strategies
  • Familiarity with cloud IAM, networking, and security best practices
  • Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills in distributed systems
  • Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and own technical outcomes

Nice to haves:

  • Experience supporting infrastructure in regulated environments (e.g., healthcare, biotech, financial)
  • Background in observability platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
  • Exposure to cost optimization, audit logging, or compliance automation in cloud platforms
  • Experience working with scientists, data engineers, or platform users in cross-functional settings
  • Interest in mentorship, system design, and infrastructure patterns at scale
  • Experience with Microsoft Azure

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
