The platform ingests historical patient and prescription data, runs it through an ETL pipeline into a unified data model, and serves machine-learning models that produce drug and treatment recommendations. Today the process is manual — data prepared on a desktop, models deployed by hand, no CI/CD. The goal is a production SaaS platform with a first MVP at the end of 2026.\n\nThe infrastructure is AWS, with Docker and Kubernetes as the runtime, and a strong preference for open-source tooling over managed proprietary services. The availability target is 99.9%, 24×7. Current usage is proof-of-concept scale, so the design has to reach that target without over-building, and cost must be a design input from day one: an environment that meets the checklist but whose bill doubles in six months is not acceptable.\n\nThis is a full-time, remote engagement. Working hours are 06:00–14:00 US Eastern, and development happens on client-provided virtual desktops.\n\nKey Responsibilities\n\nDesign the AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure for the platform from the target architecture, and document it.\n\nBuild the environments — development, test and production — with clear separation and repeatable provisioning.\n\nSet up CI/CD from scratch for application code, data pipelines and model deployments.\n\nDefine infrastructure as code and keep every environment reproducible from it.\n\nDesign for 99.9% availability, 24×7: monitoring, alerting, backups, recovery and on-call practice.\n\nOwn cost: choose instance types, storage and scaling policies deliberately, and report on spend.\n\nPut security and access controls in place appropriate to sensitive healthcare data.\n\nWork with the data engineer to run pipelines and model services reliably on Kubernetes.\n\nReplace manual deployment steps with automated, auditable ones.\n\nPropose an approach and defend it rather than waiting for a fully formed requirement.\n\nWrite the runbooks and documentation the team needs to operate the platform without you in the room.\n\nRequired Qualifications\n\nDevOps or platform engineering experience, including ownership of a production environment.\n\nHands-on AWS experience.\n\nHands-on Docker and Kubernetes experience in production.\n\nExperience building CI/CD pipelines from scratch.\n\nInfrastructure as code with a tool such as Terraform, and the discipline to keep environments reproducible.\n\nExperience designing for and operating to a defined availability target, including monitoring, alerting and incident response.\n\nDemonstrated cost-conscious design and cost management in a cloud environment.\n\nReal C1 English, role requires direct client meetings without an intermediary.\n\nAvailability during 06:00–14:00 US Eastern.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\n\nExperience running data pipelines and machine-learning workloads on Kubernetes.\n\nExperience with an open-source observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki or similar).\n\nSecurity and compliance experience with healthcare or other regulated data.\n\nExperience with GitOps tooling such as Argo CD or Flux.\n\nExperience with Python or scripting for automation.\n\nExperience taking a proof-of-concept environment to production.\n\nYour First 90 Days\n\nFirst 30 days — You have reviewed the target architecture, produced the infrastructure design with a cost estimate, and agreed it with the CTO; a first environment is provisioned from code.\n\nBy 60 days — Development and test environments run from infrastructure as code, CI/CD deploys the data pipeline and model services without manual steps, and monitoring and alerting are live.\n\nBy 90 days — Production is running to the availability target with backups and recovery tested, spend is tracked against the estimate, and the runbooks exist for someone else to operate the platform.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3838,"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":[{"name":"Ukraine","iso":"UA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T12:21:41Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":76,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.801,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:9","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nucleus-labs-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nucleus-labs-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T00:19:14Z","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":446,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":4486065},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4486065"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnucleus-labs-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Fnucleus-labs-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Fnucleus-labs-infrastructure-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/nucleus-labs-infrastructure-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnucleus-labs-infrastructure-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3454281}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nucleusls.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3454281},"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);
