Your mission
Why We Need You
We started with a lean, stroke-focused product built entirely for GCP. Now we're expanding beyond stroke and beyond Google Cloud with an ambitious migration to a new cloud-agnostic, scalable platform. This involved rewriting our core systems using cutting-edge technologies that run on Kubernetes across any cloud provider. As we expand into new areas of healthcare, we've focused on creating an extensible platform that can easily adapt to new features and requirements.
We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead the infrastructure strategy as we enter the final stage of our platform transition. With core development nearing completion, your primary objective is to architect and enforce the resilient, high-availability infrastructure required for launch and scaling. You will take full ownership of our deployment pipelines and scaling capabilities, ensuring the stability while orchestrating a seamless migration of our customers to the new architecture.
What You’ll Do
Own Kubernetes: Take ownership of the entire lifecycle of our production Kubernetes environments, ensuring they are secure, monitored, and highly available.
Own AWS: Though our platform is entirely cloud agnostic and will run in multiple cloud providers, the large majority of our production instances will be hosted in AWS, and as such, you will take ownership of managing our infrastructure in AWS.
Architect & Build: Help design and build our platform, choose tools and technologies that best suit our platform to the architectural needs of our customers.
Mentoring: Mentoring and educating two other DevOps engineers who will work alongside you.
Collaborate with Customers: Support the Customer Success team by helping hospital IT departments with their most technical questions.
Strengthen Infrastructure: Design and maintain core networking infrastructure, including VPCs, firewalls, and VPNs.
Enable Engineering: Collaborate closely with backend, frontend, and machine learning engineers to support their infrastructure needs and empower them to work efficiently.

About us
Nicolab was founded in 2015 following the acclaimed MR CLEAN trial, the first Randomised Clinical Trial proving the benefit of Endovascular Treatment. The trial led to a global paradigm shift in acute stroke care and triaging, resulting in the hospital Hub and Spoke model.
Leading MR CLEAN researchers and our co-founders, Dr. Merel Boers and Dr. Renan Sales Barros, recognized the need for an AI solution to revolutionize stroke care. With exclusive access to the heterogeneous MR CLEAN dataset, Nicolab developed StrokeViewer. StrokeViewer provides the most accurate AI algorithms to diagnose stroke patients worldwide.
Our background is steeped in leading clinical research, which is why we continue to invest and contribute significantly to research, ensuring that Nicolab remains at the forefront of driving innovative change and improving outcomes for stroke patients.
While Nicolab continues to run its operations with Headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, we are proudly an Australian-based publicly unlisted company with an expanding global presence.
