About the role:

As a Backend Software Engineer in the Data Infrastructure team at Owkin, you will be at the heart of our mission to accelerate data-driven biomedical discoveries at scale. You will contribute to building and maintaining scalable data management and processing systems on AWS that handle complex datasets throughout their lifecycle, while maintaining the highest standards of privacy, security and compliance.

In particular, you will:

  • Design, implement, and maintain cloud-based infrastructure and services on AWS at the intersection of data engineering and AI tools
  • Contribute to the design and evolution of our data architecture to support large-scale data processing while ensuring granular data access controls and security compliance
  • Collaborate with data engineers, researchers and data scientists to understand their needs and implement solutions that enhance their productivity
  • Support and improve our CI/CD pipelines, development workflows, and security practices
  • Participate in incident response to ensure high availability and reliability
  • Contribute to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data

Impact on stakeholders:

  • Data Engineers: Working in the same engineering group, you will collaborate closely with them to provide powerful data services and tools, for example Airflow deployment and cloud data management optimizations
  • Bioinformaticians, data scientists and researchers: you will help create a user-friendly environment that accelerates their work through streamlined data access, efficient processing, and seamless project collaboration
  • Owkin partners: you will strengthen Owkin's data network with academic partners by enabling them to share their data securely and easily

This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of cloud computing, data engineering and software engineering.

 

Position is based in our Paris or Nantes offices or remotely in France.

  • Owkin is a great place to work. As a coveted workplace we are, unfortunately, vulnerable to recruitment phishing scams. We urge all job seekers and candidates to be wary of potential scams. Most of these have individuals posing as representatives of prominent companies, including Owkin, with the aim of obtaining personal, sensitive, or financial information from applicants. These scams prey upon an individual’s desire to obtain a job and can sometimes “feel” like a genuine recruitment process. Some red flags are identified below.

  • Legitimate Owkin recruitment processes include communication with candidates through recognized professional networks, such as LinkedIn. 
  • Communication is always through an official Owkin email address (from the @owkin.com domain), over the phone or through our applicant tracking system (Greenhouse).
  • The Owkin talent team do use platforms such as LinkedIn and Job Teaser, however if you have any concern or doubt about this contact, please ask for them to send an email from @Owkin.com.
  • The Owkin talent team will not solicit personal data from candidates during the application phase including, but not limited to, date of birth, social security numbers, or bank account information;
  • Legitimate Owkin interviews may be conducted over the phone, in person, or via an approved enterprise videoconferencing service (Google Meets). They will not occur via Signal, Telegram or Messenger
  • Owkin offers of employment are based on merit and only extended once a candidate has interviewed with members of the talent and hiring team. Offers will be extended both verbally and in written format.

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
