Role Overview
We are seeking a Principal Data Engineer to lead the architecture and evolution of the data platform underpinning our human genetics, multi-omics, and high-content imaging programs.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role with broad technical authority. As the architectural lead for data engineering, you will set the direction for our AWS environment and the pipelines, catalog, and access layers built on it, defining the technical roadmap and the standards others build against. The scope spans core cloud data engineering (orchestration, warehousing, infrastructure as code, cost governance) and the distinctive challenges of scientific data: connecting each microscopy image to its cell line, donor, and study of origin, and enabling scientists to answer genotype questions directly, without specialist intervention.
You will join a focused, high-impact team supporting a research organization whose data generation and analytical ambitions are expanding r
