Argonne National Laboratory

Are you passionate about making a difference in the world? Would you like to support scientists performing world-class biology research? Are you passionate about building cutting edge infrastructure using best practices? At Argonne, our DevOps group provides IT support for experimental computational projects, where we have the opportunity to leverage cutting edge software and practices. Our software products are collaboratively developed by world class product managers, scientists, designers and developers; along with many collaborations with research institutions across the globe. Our platform, KBase, aims to be the leading knowledge base for systems biology data and to be publicly accessible to researchers around the world. To meet the key challenges of computational biology, we provide resources to predict and design biological function through a platform that enables secure sharing of data, tools, methods, and conclusions in a unified system. KBase enables researchers to collaboratively generate, test, and share hypotheses about biological functions; perform large-scale analyses on scalable computing infrastructure; and combine multiple lines of evidence to accurately model plant and microbial physiology and community dynamics. You and the DevOps team will participate in the operation and development of the KBase, PlantSEED and ModelSEED platforms, and make a lasting impact in the field of computational biology. Most of what this role will work on is open source. The infrastructure you will be responsible for is hybrid on premise at distributed sites, as well as in the cloud. We use ansible and rancher for configuration management and orchestration. Our application stack is primarily python and javascript, but we also have components written in golang, and java.
