Software Developer, Data Infrastructure (Cloud Ops focus) - m/f/d, full-time

Ribbon Bio, a growth stage synthetic biology company that specializes in the synthesis of long and highly complex DNA molecules. As we scale, we’re building the next generation of internal and external data infrastructure—robust, secure, cloud-native systems that empower scientists, engineers, and partners worldwide.

We are seeking a versatile Data Infrastructure Software Developer with strong experience in secure cloud deployment and operational reliability to join the growing Data Operations team. You will play an important role in designing, deploying, and maintaining the cloud-based systems that power our data pipelines, scientific workflows, and internal/external applications.

You’ll collaborate across software, operations, and scientific teams to ensure our platform is robust, secure, scalable, and compliant with industry best practices. If you enjoy owning infrastructure end-to-end and thrive in an environment where you can influence architecture from the ground up, you’ll fit right in.

• Architect, deploy, and manage cloud-native infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP) supporting data pipelines, services, and scientific applications.
• Develop infrastructure to maintain reproducible and auditable environments.
• Help build and operate CI/CD pipelines for application and infrastructure deployments.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize system performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Implement logging, metrics, and alerting across services and environments.
• Contribute to infrastructure security (identity/permissions, network segmentation, secrets management).
• Collaborate with developers, data engineers, and scientists to translate operational requirements into scalable solutions.
• Support cybersecurity initiatives—vulnerability management, compliance, and secure-by-design practices.

• 2–5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS/GCP/Azure services including compute, networking, storage, and others.
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Solid understanding of CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Argo, Jenkins, etc.).
• Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch, etc.).
• Working knowledge of cybersecurity best practices (IAM, secrets management, encryption, hardening) is a plus.
• Experience in regulated environments or biotech/life sciences is helpful but not required.
• Ability to thrive in an agile, fast-paced startup environment where ownership is expected and impact is immediate.
• Ability to analyze complex problems and develop recommendations / solutions.

• Opportunity to crucially contribute to growth of the company within a young, agile, and motivated team.
• Home office possibilities and flextime working arrangements.
• Participation in the bonus program and a clear path of your career.
• A dynamic international work environment with a team representing over 25 nationalities.
• Professional development training opportunities.
• Ticket for public transport (yearly ticket “Wiener Linien”).
• The opportunity to grow with the company.
• Coffee, tea, fruits and snacks in the office.
• Lunch offers from Schrankerl partially subsidized by the company.
• Relocation support, if necessary

We offer annual gross salary starting from EUR 50.000,- depending on qualification and experience.
