Our Team: 
The DevTools group at Medidata works on the continual development of our existing deployment and infrastructure automation tools. The role will also require coming up with new cutting-edge tools and workflows to manage an ever-growing number of applications, services, and data which comprise our Medidata Clinical Cloud SaaS solution.

Who we’re looking for: 
The candidate should be comfortable in executing the following tasks:

  • Build and maintain deployment and infrastructure automation tools.
  • Research new developments and technologies that could help us get code into production more quickly, safely and efficiently.
  • Assist with the ongoing operations of our production systems.
  • Configure and build monitoring and logging tools to monitor our applications and servers.
  • Work with engineering teams to improve their use of our cloud resources.
  • Ensure that our applications and services are horizontally scalable, highly available and are deployable with our existing tools.
  • Act as the last line of support for difficult operational problems.

Requirements (Education & Experience): 

Education

  • Bachelor's or master’s degree in Computer Science (Preferred but not necessary)

Experience

  • Any major programming language: 7 + years (Preferred)
  • AWS: 5 + years (Preferred)
  • Experience with Ruby on Rails (preferred but not necessary, as we believe that if you are a good programmer, you can learn any language) - our current primary deployment tool is a Rails application
  • Our main deployment workflow is built on ECS, EKS, and Docker
  • JavaScript - for a better in-browser UX for developers, and on the server-side in some of our newer tools.
  • AWS - using and helping others to use a wide range of AWS services.
  • Improving our monitoring - as our services grow in number, we need help with instrumenting and monitoring them so that we can anticipate unhealthy conditions before they cause outages downstream.
  • Some ops - your primary focus will be on building tools but sometimes you’ll be directly involved in operations.
  • Knowledge of Unix/Linux systems
