Company mission
To help replace traditional farms and factories with a more sustainable world.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of industry experience in setting up, maintaining and troubleshooting Kubernetes systems
- Native Terraform speaker
- Excellent coding skills, preferably in Python
- Solid understanding of networking in cloud environments
Desirable
- Familiarity with GCP (specifically IAM, GKE, GCE, GCS)
- Experience in database administration (preferably PostgreSQL)
- Interest in IT security and SecOps
- Experience in ML-ops or infrastructure for data processing pipelines
What the job involves
- We’re looking to add a full-time DevOps/Cloud expert with an interest in security to our team
- Together with our existing DevOps engineer and the rest of the engineering team, you will build and maintain our GitOps cloud infrastructure, perform troubleshooting tasks and help the engineering team with their decisions regarding our infrastructure setup. You will also act as a go-to person to consult engineers on best practices regarding CI/CD, security, observability and operations
- You will not shy away from jumping into an ML/Ops Python codebase and help the ML team with their orchestration workflows
- Improving CI/CD automation of our Kubernetes based deployments using Terraform and ArgoCD
- Improving Cradle’s multi-tenant Terraform configuration and harden our Kubernetes cluster - setting up RBAC and access policies, configuring pod security standards
- Help unify monitoring and alerting for our production deployment and infrastructure
- Setting up a security information and events management system to collect logs and monitor events from production and corporate networks
- Help the ML Ops team improve workflow orchestration
Our take
Designing proteins for a specific use or target is a complex task, with the functionality and structure of these macromolecules being difficult to model. Hence, protein design - essentially the "custom building" of proteins - is a relatively undeveloped part of molecular biology.
Cradle is hoping to help change this, by delivering a platform that designs custom proteins from a prompt. The idea is to apply the same large language models that are tackling language translation, chatbots, and web search, to biology - treating the code of DNA as it would any language.
The company's prospect is certainly an exciting one, with the range of applications for custom proteins spanning therapeutics, catalysis, cosmetics and many more. The tech is in its early days for now, and Cradle faces challenges such as determining when a suggested sequence is just incorrect, but as it develops further it will certainly be a company to keep an eye on.
