Senior DevOps Engineer

About The Role

The Senior DevOps Engineer will be responsible for enhancing and scaling the infrastructure powering Rhino’s Federated Computing Platform (Rhino FCP). This distributed infrastructure supports cutting-edge AI/ML research and development across highly regulated industries, including healthcare, finance, and life sciences, by enabling secure, privacy-preserving data collaboration around the world.

You will oversee a fleet of installations deployed behind the firewalls of partner organizations, alongside a centralized cloud orchestration layer and advanced CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and deployment tooling. You'll collaborate closely with backend engineers, as many infrastructure components are tightly integrated with the FCP’s core capabilities.

This role involves end-to-end ownership: from architecture and design to implementation and support. It’s ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves working with modern infrastructure, and is excited to drive innovation in secure, distributed AI platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Infrastructure Ownership: Take full ownership of infrastructure components - from initial ideation and architectural design through implementation and automated deployment, across diverse technologies and geographically distributed environments.
• Scalability and Enhancement: Continuously enhance and scale the platform’s underlying infrastructure by implementing updates, driving performance improvements, and integrating new platform capabilities to support product growth.
• Maximize Development Velocity: Design, improve, and maintain DevOps tooling and workflows (CI/CD pipelines, configuration management) to significantly boost development velocity and streamline the engineering process.
• Distributed Deployment Management: Oversee and manage all platform deployments, ensuring consistency and reliability across local installations at client sites and within the centralized cloud orchestration layer.
• Product Development: Collaborate closely with Backend and Frontend Engineering teams to co-develop platform features that have significant infrastructure dependencies, ensuring new capabilities are designed and implemented with built-in scalability and operational tooling.
• Establish Foundational Quality: Ensure observability, scalability, and security are deeply integrated and prioritized across the design, implementation, and operation of all infrastructure layers.
