Overview
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 is 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.
Team and Role
We are a full-stack shop consisting of product and portfolio leadership, data engineering, infrastructure and DevOps, data / metadata / knowledge platforms, and AI/ML and analysis platforms, all geared toward building a next-generation, metadata- and automation-driven data experience for GSK's scientists, engineers, and decision makers, providing best-in-class AI/ML, aggressively engineering our data at scale.
The Compute Platform Engineering team is building a first-in-class platform of toolchains and workflows that accelerate application development, scale up computational experiments, and integrate all computation with project metadata, logs, experiment configuration and performance tracking over abstractions that encompass Cloud and High-Performance Computing. This metadata-forward, CI/CD-driven platform represents and enables the entire application and analysis lifecycle including interactive development, large-scale batch processing, observability and production application deployments.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, build and operate tools, services, workflows that deliver high value solving key business problems
* Develop key components of a hybrid on‑prem/cloud compute platform for interactive and scalable batch computing and establish processes and workflows to transition existing HPC users and teams to this platform
* Develop code‑driven environments, applications, and container/image builds as well as CI/CD‑driven application deployments
* Consult science users on application scalability to petabytes of data, having deep understanding of software engineering, algorithms and infrastructure impact on performance
* Optimize design and execution of complex solutions within large‑scale distributed computing environments
* Produce well‑engineered software, including automated test suites, documentation and operational strategy
* Ensure consistent application of platform abstractions for logging and lineage quality and consistency
* Apply coding best practices, participate in code reviews and improve team standards
* Adhere to QMS framework and CI/CD best practices, guiding improvements to them and ways of working
* Provide leadership to team members helping others complete tasks properly
Basic Qualifications
* Bachelor's degree in data engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering or related discipline
* 6+ years of professional experience
* Experience with Python
* Experience with Cloud
* Experience with High Performance Compute (HPC)
Preferred Qualifications
* Deep knowledge of at least one common programming language (Python, C++, Java) including documentation, testing, and operations tools
* Expertise in modern software development tools and workflows (Git, GitHub, DevOps tools, metrics, monitoring)
* Deep cloud expertise (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) including infrastructure-as-code and scalable compute technologies (Google Batch, Vertex, etc.)
* Experience with CI/CD implementations using Git and a common CI/CD stack (Azure DevOps, CloudBuild, Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab)
* Expertise with Docker, Kubernetes and the CNCF ecosystem, including Helm
* Experience with low level application build tools (make, CMake) and automated build systems (Spack, EasyBuild)
* Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Argo, Airflow, Nextflow, Snakemake, VisTrails, Cromwell)
* Experience with application performance tuning and optimization in parallel and distributed computing, MPI, OpenMP, Gloo and underlying systems
* Demonstrated excellence in agile environments using Jira and Confluence
* Deep familiarity with optimizations in high‑performance application space and open‑source community engagement
