Requirements
• 8+ years of software engineering experience from a leading tech/AI startup or scale up, with proven experience managing and leading an internationally distributed engineering team. • You’ve done it before: Proven ability to manage up, manage conflicting priorities, and drive alignment in complex, fast-moving environments with multiple stakeholders. • Track record of delivering individual technical results while simultaneously developing the people around them. • Driving software engineering productivity with AI tooling (e.g. Claude Code) as an individual contributor or manager. • Experience with either python or golang. • Management of cloud infrastructure as code (AWS, Azure or GCP), using terraform and Kubernetes. • Experience in architectural design of complex systems, especially for complex data at scale. • Demonstrated attention to quality and software engineering processes, including observability and security: we run what we build. • Full professional proficiency in English • Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with non-engineering stakeholders and translate complex technical trade-offs into clear communication. • Familiarity with scientific or biomedical use cases (research and application) • Experience in AI and agentic AI applications • Knowledge in healthcare or biomedical domains, or work experience from regulated environments
Responsibilities
• Technical leadership: • Design, implement, and maintain cloud-based infrastructure and services at the intersection of agentic AI and biomedical data. • Contribute to the design and evolution of our product architecture across a number of use cases of scalable scientific computing, data processing and AI engineering. • Collaborate with software engineers, data engineers, researchers and data scientists to understand their needs and implement solutions that enhance their productivity. • Support and improve our CI/CD pipelines, development workflows, and security practices. • Participate in incident response to ensure high availability and reliability. • Contribute to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, and our products. • Improve the modularity and the performance of our solution. • Improve the observability of the stack and increase its resiliency. • Contribute to and improve our development tooling and processes. • Cross-functional collaboration and organizational leadership: • Act as a primary point of contact for internal stakeholders (software and data engineers, researchers, data scientists, and product teams), translating their needs into actionable platform solutions that enhance their productivity. • Manage up effectively in the organization, ensuring leadership has the right context, visibility, and confidence in the team's direction and delivery. • Navigate and manage multiple conflicting priorities simultaneously, making clear trade-off decisions and driving alignment across teams and business units. • Identify bottlenecks in cross-team workflows and proactively design and implement solutions to resolve them. • Team Leadership • Build and lead a high-performing platform engineering team, setting a high bar for technical excellence, ownership, and accountability in the organization. • Thrive in delivering individual results (as an individual contributor) while ensuring the team consistently meets its commitments — leading from the front, not just from the top. • Coach, mentor, and develop team members through regular feedback, career development conversations, and hands-on technical guidance. • Impact on stakeholders: • Direct impact on K Pro users & Owkin products, and other Owkin customers through enhanced performance and feature delivery. • Bioinformaticians, data scientists and researchers: you will help create a user-friendly environment that accelerates their work through streamlined data access, efficient processing, and seamless project collaboration. • Owkin partners: you will strengthen Owkin's data network with academic partners by enabling them to share their data securely and easily. • Amplifying the productivity of Owkin developers as part of a platform services team working on transversal platform features.
