About Phylo
Phylo is an applied research lab building agentic intelligence to accelerate discovery for every biomedical scientist. We believe AI agents will fundamentally transform how biomedical research is done. Our fast-growing team brings together researchers and engineers across AI and biology, commercializing the Biomni platform.
Our growing team brings together world class researchers and engineers across AI and biology. Backed by a $13.5M seed round led by a16z, Menlo Ventures and Anthropic, and advised by Nobel Prize laureate and pioneering biologists, Phylo is building the next generation of AI systems for the life sciences.
About the Role
We’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to build, operate, and scale the deployment foundations for Phylo’s enterprise AI platform.
This role is focused on the systems that let Phylo run reliably in real-world customer environments: cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, secure single-tenant deployments, observability, networking, storage, and operational workflows. You’ll help bring Phylo’s agentic AI platform into enterprise pharma, biotech, and research environments where security, reliability, data isolation, and deployment discipline matter deeply.
You’ll work closely with engineering, ML, science, and customer-facing teams to make Phylo easy to deploy, monitor, support, and scale across cloud and customer-managed environments.
What you’ll do as a Member of Technical Staff - Infrastructure at Phylo:
Design, build, and operate infrastructure for Phylo’s enterprise deployments, including single-tenant and customer-hosted environments.
Build deployment systems for cloud-native and enterprise environments, own Kubernetes-based infrastructure for Phylo services, sandboxed agent execution, compute workloads, storage mounts, networking, and observability.
Support infrastructure for scientific and computational workloads, including HPC-adjacent workflows, bioinformatics tools, batch execution, GPU/CPU compute, and large-scale file/data movement.
Work with customer-facing teams to support enterprise deployment planning, debugging, reliability reviews, and production operations.
Help define the long-term architecture for deploying Phylo into pharma, biotech, academic, and research environments.
What We're Looking For:
2+ years of industry experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, cloud engineering, or a similar role.
Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production.
Experience deploying and operating systems on AWS, GCP or Azure.
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, CDK, or similar.
Strong understanding of networking, IAM, VPCs, load balancers, DNS, certificates, secrets management, and cloud security fundamentals.
Experience building CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, environment provisioning, and operational tooling.
Nice to Haves:
Experience deploying enterprise SaaS into single-tenant, customer-hosted, VPC-isolated, or regulated environments.
Experience building or maintaining R&D infrastructure in pharma, biotech, academic research, or life sciences organizations.
Experience with HPC, bioinformatics infrastructure, scientific computing, workflow engines, or batch schedulers.
Experience with tools or systems such as Nextflow, Snakemake, Cromwell, Slurm, AWS Batch, EKS, ECS, FSx, Lustre, S3, or distributed filesystems.
Experience with secure sandboxing or isolated execution environments such as gVisor, Kata Containers, Firecracker, or Kubernetes sandboxing.
Experience supporting GPU-enabled workloads, large-scale data processing, or scientific compute clusters.
Experience with enterprise identity, SSO, audit logging, compliance controls, customer networking, VPNs, private connectivity, or data residency requirements.
Experience working directly with enterprise customers during deployment, onboarding, debugging, or production support.
