Description du Poste
Biomemory
is a worldwide pioneer in
DNA Data Storage .
We are a well-funded
deeptech start-up
developing rackable IT servers for Data Centers that use
synthetic DNA as a data storage medium .
While this technology is still in its infancy, our DNA-based storage servers aim to handle
massive data volumes (Exabytes)
with
ultra-long retention (>100 years)
at an attractive
CAPEX and OPEX .
Headquartered in
Paris , Biomemory’s mission is to serve the fast-growing global
cold storage market .
About the Job
Reporting to the
Director of Software Engineering , you will join
Atlas Team as a Sysadmin Engineer , and you will be in charge of the
system and infrastructure operations .
Maintain system and network infrastructure in operational condition.
Update and monitor both internal and external systems.
Manage
access requests
and maintain proper control over user permissions.
Map and document the Information System , contributing to a cultural shift from “it works” to “it works and it’s documented.”
Install and administer
external compute resources
(e.g. OVH bare metal) in a controlled and reliable manner (using
SLURM ).
Conduct security assessment and propose or discuss remediation plans.
Contribute ideas for new installations, deployments, and automation.
Simplify and document procedures to improve efficiency and reliability.
Manage internal tickets (via GitLab) : triage, prioritization, follow-up, and metrics.
Provide
basic user support for workstations
(Linux, Windows, and macOS).
Manage user access (provisioning, revocation, monitoring, incident alerts).
Participate in
onboarding and offboarding
(hardware setup, account creation, SI overview).
Manage software licenses and hardware inventory.
Promote best practices and enhance information security culture.
Collaborate with
Sarah , our Office Manager, on
technical vendor relationships
(cloud and infrastructure providers).
R&D and Operations
While this position is
primarily focused on managing infrastructure and servers (≈90%) , the engineer will also
contribute around 10% of their time to R&D efforts .
This includes supporting the
definition of operational procedures
for successive versions of our DNA-based data storage system.
The role is
anchored in production infrastructure , but thanks to his/her experience, the person will
collaborate closely with the Software team —using their operational expertise to help design and validate our next-generation DNA storage device.
In short: a
full-time infrastructure engineer ,
structuring and maintaining the system , yet
deeply aligned with R&D DNA .
