But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process. We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world.\nWe are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward. This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today.\nOur automated lab is powered by a deep software + hardware stack: lab instruments worth millions of USD reverse-engineered into API-controllable hardware, dozens of devices orchestrated through complex workflows, full observability on everything that happens in the lab, processing pipelines for messy physical-world data, and AI systems that troubleshoot production results and accelerate assay development.\nWe’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation.\nAbout the Role\nOur lab is scaling fast, and every system behind the platform takes more load each month. Customers and AI labs build automated workflows on our API, so it has to stay fast and up.\nYou own platform reliability and performance: observability, compute performance and cost, CI and developer tooling, and the infrastructure underneath.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn observability. Alerts and traces the team relies on, so we see a problem before a customer does.\n\nDrive performance and cost. Profile and optimize our compute jobs and APIs, so throughput grows faster than cost and latency.\n\nMake developers fast. Fast, reliable CI, builds, deploys and local setup.\n\nSet reliability targets. SLOs, incident response, postmortems, and an on-call that people can live with.\n\nKeep the platform secure and current. Dependencies, secrets, supply chain and infra migrations, handled before they become fires.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nProduction reliability experience. You have run systems where uptime and latency mattered, and you think in failure modes and SLOs.\n\nPerformance depth. You have profiled real systems and made them measurably faster or cheaper.\n\nDeveloper-experience mindset. You treat your teammates as users.\n\nStrong software fundamentals. Production Python or TypeScript, plus the tests and tooling that make the work repeatable.\n\nAutonomous and pragmatic. You find what needs doing without a spec, and you know when to harden and when to ship.\n\nTechnical fit. SRE, platform or backend experience. Hands-on with observability tooling, CI/CD and infrastructure as code.\n\nLocation: London.\n\nApplication deadline\nWe are reviewing applicants on a rolling basis.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2872,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Synthetic Biology","Drug Discovery","CRO & CDMO Services","Drug Discovery AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T04:20:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":101,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/adaptyv-bio-platform-reliability-performance-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/adaptyv-bio-platform-reliability-performance-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T17:32:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20349,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":37898},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=37898"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fadaptyv-bio-platform-reliability-performance-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fadaptyv-bio-platform-reliability-performance-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fadaptyv-bio-platform-reliability-performance-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/adaptyv-bio-platform-reliability-performance-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fadaptyv-bio-platform-reliability-performance-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4220030}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"adaptyvbio.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4220030},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
