Software Testing Analyst jobs in United Kingdom

Company Description

Cell therapies have been shown to cure devastating and previously untreatable diseases like cancer by re-programming the patient's own immune system. Giving more patients access to these life-saving therapies requires a revolution in manufacturing and process automation.

Cellular Origins, a TTP Company, is enabling scalable, cost-effective and efficient manufacture of cell and gene therapies. Our technology addresses the challenges associated with manufacturing at scale with an elegant robotic manufacturing automation solution that reduces cost and labour, eliminates human error, and increases efficiency.

In this role, you'll help to maintain and extend the existing factory architecture and core services. This includes on-prem hypervisors, IaaS/PaaS, to virtualised software containers. You'll be a subject matter expert in platform infrastructure, providing help, guidance and technical input into infrastructure architecture, design, implementation and development support.

This also includes providing design input and advice as DevOpsSec, for software platforms to be deployed to cell-therapy automation factory, as well as internal infrastructure for development and continuous integration.
