The Cloud Engineer is an integral part of the team, helping to translate customer requirements into technical reality. Part architect, technical lead and developer, the Cloud Engineer is exposed to all aspects of the system. Emphasis is placed on middle tier and backend development, but the Cloud Engineer is expected to know enough about frontend development to be able to make things work end to end. Cypher Genomics’ flagship product is named Mantis™ and has been built from the ground up to provide scalable cloud based interpretation of genomic data. The bulk of the system is implemented in Python with Java becoming a larger part of the solution thanks mainly to Hadoop MapReduce optimizations that are being made. The system is multi-tiered with the frontend being made up of a LAMP stack that talks to the Python/Java backend over RESTful interfaces. Mantis is delivered as cloud based SaaS and we are currently hosted within Rackspace, so knowledge of OpenStack is a big plus.
