Platform/Data Engineer Intern
About Us
Isospec Analytics SA seeks an intern to develop cutting-edge embedding techniques for glycomics data. We aim to leverage our proprietary CIRIS technology to create powerful new representations of small molecules structures and their associated data.
Your Impact
Develop and optimize our hybrid cloud-edge infrastructure to support advanced glycomics research. Your mission will be to enhance our data pipeline, improve system reliability, and implement scalable solutions for processing and analyzing large volumes of glycomics data.
What You Will Do
1. Design and implement data pipelines using AWS services (e.g., AWS Glue, AWS Data Pipeline) to process and analyze molecular data
2. Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code using AWS CDK, CloudFormation or Terraform
3. Implement real-time data streaming from on-premise lab equipment to AWS using services like AWS Kinesis or Apache Kafka
4. Optimize data storage and retrieval using AWS S3, DynamoDB
Implement and manage containerized applications using Docker and AWS ECS or EKSAdditionally.
If time allows, the following avenues are also envisioned:
5. Implement data quality checks and automated testing for the data pipeline
6. Explore and implement serverless architectures using AWS Lambda for specific data processing tasks
