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.
As a DevOps Engineer you join and strengthen our team during an exciting transition phase. With the core development of our new platform nearing completion, you will help implement and maintain the high-availability infrastructure needed for launch. You will play a hands-on role in deploying and scaling our systems, assisting with the day-to-day stability of our legacy environment while supporting the technical migration of our customers to the new architecture.
What You’ll Do
Maintain Production Operations: Own the day-to-day operations of our current production infrastructure (GCP), responding to incidents, performing system maintenance, and ensuring our platform remains stable and performant for our users.
Manage Kubernetes Environments: Deploy, monitor, and maintain our production Kubernetes clusters, ensuring security, reliability, and high availability.
Architect & Build: Help design and build our platform, choose tools and technologies that best suit our platform to the architectural needs of our customers.
Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with backend, frontend, and machine learning engineers to understand and support their infrastructure requirements.
Strengthen Infrastructure: Design and maintain core networking infrastructure, including VPCs, firewalls, and VPNs.
Release management: Assist the team with planning, preparing, and deploying releases.

Nice-to-Haves:
Who You Are
Quality-Minded Builder: You care about code quality and maintainability as much as speed. You write infrastructure that is clean, well-organized, and designed to be understood by future maintainers.
Strong Communicator: You can effectively discuss technical solutions with both internal teams and external stakeholders.
Proactive & Independent: You are a natural problem-solver who takes initiative and finds solutions.
Collaborative: You work effectively with cross-functional teams and contribute to technical decision-making.
Flexible & Open-Minded: You can change your mind when presented with new information and thrive in an environment of constructive technical debate.
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.
