Flomics is a fast-growing biotech company founded in 2018 in Barcelona. We are developing a revolutionary liquid biopsy test for the early detection of cancer, based on the analysis of cell-free RNA in blood. By combining cutting-edge genomics with advanced bioinformatics and machine learning, we’re identifying novel biomarker signatures that can transform diagnostics. Our goal: make cancer detection simple, scalable – and possible from just a single blood sample.
Beyond scientific innovation, we are an international and multidisciplinary team driven by collaboration, continuous learning, and the ambition to improve the lives of millions of people worldwide.
We are looking for a versatile Cloud & Information Technology Manager based in Portugal who can bridge technical expertise with management responsibilities in a fast-growing biotech startup. Reporting directly to C-level, you will shape our cloud infrastructure strategy, drive hands-on system administration, and empower developers to work efficiently and securely. This is a high-impact role at the core of our growth: you will scale our technology maturity and lead compliance initiatives such as ISO 27001 certification, ensuring our innovations are built on a secure and reliable foundation.
Your responsibilities
- Cloud & Infrastructure: Design, manage, and optimize AWS infrastructure for performance, cost efficiency, and security. Implement monitoring, backups, and disaster recovery plans.
- Developer enablement: Guide the development team with tools, automation, and best practices for CI/CD, deployments, and cloud-native solutions.
- Governance & Compliance: Drive information security processes, enforce IT policies, and lead the implementation of information security processes and contribute to ISO 27001 certification readiness. Ensure compliance, documentation, and continuous improvement.
- Strategy & Leadership: Collaborate with leadership to align technology with business goals. Define the technical roadmap, coordinate with vendors, and mentor team members to strengthen capabilities.
What we are looking for
- 5+ years in the technology sector, with 2+ years hands-on in AWS architecture and administration.
- Solid experience in Linux system administration.
- Development background in modern frontend and backend frameworks.
- Strong understanding of cloud security principles and regulatory compliance (ISO 27001, SOC2, GDPR a plus).
- Experience with DevOps practices.
- Ability to balance hands-on problem solving with strategic thinking and cross-functional collaboration.
- Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
- Proactive attitude with mentoring capabilities.
- Availability to travel occasionally to Barcelona for team meetings or company events.
Nice to have
- Startup or scale-up experience.
- Multi-cloud or hybrid environment knowledge.
- Familiarity with risk management frameworks and IT governance.
- Experience in scientific or bioinformatics projects.
- Knowledge of bioinformatics stacks, e.g., workflow management systems like Nextflow.
What we offer
- Opportunity to shape the infrastructure and security foundation of a growing biotech company.
- High-impact role with direct influence on technology strategy.
- A collaborative, international team culture where your contributions drive immediate results.
- Fully remote position from Portugal with flexible hours and occasional in-person meetings.
- Permanent contract with a competitive compensation package (base salary + variable).
- 23 days of vacation + 3 company-defined days.
