Job Description

RCH Solutions is seeking a DevOps Engineer with strong backend development skills who will be instrumental in the continued investment in discovery research. We are currently seeking an outstanding engineer with proven experience building secure, well-governed services and the cloud infrastructure that runs them. Using a broad range of backend engineering, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud security methods, the successful individual will continue to evolve growing initiatives for data access, platform reliability, and secure delivery to enable the scientific community.

The successful candidate will own both sides of the platform: the TypeScript/Node.js services that expose governed access to scientific and analytical data, and the GCP infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and security posture that support them. Expertise in access control design, relational data modeling, Terraform, and cloud observability is highly desired.

Build well-documented, typed APIs consumed by front-end and data science teams

Apply AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.) within established guardrails to accelerate delivery without compromising code quality

DevOps / Platform

Build and maintain GCP infrastructure: Cloud Run, Artifact Registry, Cloud SQL, IAM, and VPC Service Controls

Define and manage infrastructure as code using Terraform

Own CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions covering build, test, and deploy

Manage security posture: Dependabot triage, dependency and vulnerability remediation, and secrets management

Containerize services with Docker and maintain reproducible build and release processes

Ability to work independently in a distributed team on a UK or US East Coast schedule

Minimum Qualifications

BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience

2–7 years of professional software engineering or platform engineering experience

Strong JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals, including asynchronous patterns and typed API contracts
