The Institute is built around fellows and Oxford-GSK project teams located
across different departments within the Medical Sciences Division of the

nervous system, specifically Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis but it is anticipated the range of activities
will expand into other research areas in future.





You will be leading the design, planning, provisioning, ongoing maintenance
and development of the IMCM Data Platform, and creating and updating
documentation for the IMCM-specific aspects of the Data Platform. You will
identify potential tools that can enhance the observability capabilities of

capacity planning and help spot potential problems before they affect
researchers. You will be tasked with ensuring the security of the Platform is
in line with the security guidelines provided by the University infosec teams
and also from GSK. This includes developing and applying security policies
(policy-as-code), applying updates and configuration checks, arranging
penetration tests if needed.





It is essential that you are educated to degree level, with relevant
experience. You will have extensive experience of deploying workloads across
virtualisation platforms at scale, and experience of cloud platform
engineering for production services. GCP experience is essential; experience
with an additional provider preferred (Azure). You will have hands-on
experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Ansible,
Pulumi, and experience of CI/CD pipelines like github actions, jenkins etc.





Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required
