Software Engineer, Infrastructure

About the Role 

The engineering team at Xaira works on critical systems throughout Xaira, and we are looking for a software engineer with cloud engineering experience to build our internal platform to support engineers, AI scientists, and a cutting edge AI-powered biotechnology company.

We are a small, pragmatic team and you will find yourself:

  • Collaborating with world experts in AI and Life sciences regularly.
  • Shipping code daily, with a culture of learning from mistakes and iterating quickly.
  • Being expected and empowered to work autonomously.
  • Coming onsite to our office (and lab!) - this is not a remote position.

About You

You’re a mission-driven engineer who wants to join a dynamic start-up that’s setting out to change how drugs are developed and save lives in the process.  The velocity and autonomy of an early stage start-up appeal to you, and you’re excited to be in an environment where you can ship code and stretch your technical skills.  You bring software infrastructure skills to the table, and are excited to build tools and systems that will directly impact the process of making new medicines.

What You'll Do and Learn

These are examples of areas that we’ll want you to take point on:

  • IaC and cloud resource deployment.
  • Improving the supporting tooling around core software asset types at Xaira (packages, services, etc.)
  • Improving our developer experience tooling, such as CICD.
  • Building out our HPC GPU cluster used for large scale model training.

We do expect our engineers to work across the company, and you should expect to have the opportunity to work on and learn about systems that touch the following areas of the company:

  • Scientific code and research engineering for accelerating scientific progress.
  • Large scale AI model inference and tooling.
  • Data warehousing and transport for large biological datasets.
  • Lab information management and supporting automation engineering.

Minimum Qualifications

  • B.S. in Computer Science or related field
  • 4+ years of experience as a software engineer
  • 2+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, SRE, or devops
  • Expertise in an IaC tool such as terraform
  • Familiarity with AWS compute, persistence, and networking technologies
  • Experience with python, git

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience with HPC/GPU cluster performance for AI workloads.
  • Deep understanding of AWS and compute deployment options.
  • Prior experience developing infrastructure for biotech/life sciences workloads.

Compensation

The specific compensation package for this role depends on experience, qualifications and level. We anticipate the compensation range to be $140,000 to $200,000 per year. 

Xaira Therapeutics is an equal opportunity employer. We thrive on diversity and collaboration, and we welcome candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
