DevOps Engineer
Synthego is transforming scientists into designers with the first fully automated molecular biology lab. Lab automation is no cakewalk, though. Any given order moves through dozens of instruments, and our factory can manage throughput in the thousands. All of our instruments, databases, and analysis servers need to live on robust infrastructures that can scale with rapidly growing company.
Synthego is looking for a DevOps engineer to join our core software team to help us bring our infrastructure to the next level.
