About
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.
Responsibilities
•Designs, builds, and operates tools, services, workflows, etc that deliver high value through the solution to key business problems
•Responsible for development of key components of a hybrid on-prem/cloud compute platform for both interactive and scalable batch computing and establishing of processes and workflows to transition existing HPC users and teams to this platform
•Responsible for code-driven environment, applications, and container/image builds as well as CI/CD driven application deployments
•Consult science users on application scalability to PBs of data by having a deep understanding of software engineering, algorithms, and underlying hardware infrastructure and their impact on performance
•Confidently optimizes design and execution of complex solutions within large-scale distributed computing environments
•Produces well-engineered software, including appropriate automated test suites, technical documentation, and operational strategy
•Ensure consistent application of platform abstractions to ensure quality and consistency with respect to logging and lineage
•Fully versed in coding best practices and ways of working, and participates in code reviews and partnering to improve the team's standards
•Adhere to QMS framework and CI/CD best practices and helps to guide improvements to them that improve ways of working
Requirements
•Bachelor's degree in Data Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering
•Experience with Python
•Experience with Cloud
•Experience with High Performance Compute (HPC)
Nice to have
•Knowledge and use of at least one common programming language: e.g., Python, Go, C++, Scala, Java, including toolchains for documentation, testing, and operations / observability
•Expertise in modern software development tools / ways of working (e.g. git/GitHub, devops tools, metrics / monitoring, …)
•Cloud expertise (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure), including infrastructure-as-code tools and scalable compute technologies, such as Google Batch and Vertex
•Experience with CI/CD implementations using git and a common CI/CD stack (e.g., Azure DevOps, CloudBuild, Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab)
•Expertise with Docker, Kubernetes, and the larger CNCF ecosystem including experience with application deployment tools such as Helm
•Experience with low level application builds tools (make, CMake) as well as automated build systems such as spack or easybuild
•Application experience of CI/CD implementations using git and a common CI/CD stack (e.g., Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab, Azure DevOps)
•Experience in workflow orchestration with tools such as Argo Workflow, Airflow, and scientific workflow tools such as Nextflow, Snakemake, VisTrails, or Cromwell
•Experience with application performance tuning and optimization, including in parallel and distributed computing paradigms and communication libraries such as MPI, OpenMP, Gloo, including deep understanding of the underlying systems (hardware, networks, storage) and their impact on application performance
•Demonstrated excellence with agile software development environments using tools like Jira and Confluence
•Familiarity with the tools, techniques, optimizations in high-performance applications space, including engagement with the opensource community (and potentially making contributions to such tools)
