## Who We Are
**Celebrating 40+ years!**
Theradex Oncology is a full-service CRO specializing in oncology. The company manages global oncology trials and programs. The company was founded in 1982 working with the National Cancer Institute, which led to its expansion to working with industry sponsors developing cancer therapeutics. As a service-based company we support both domestic and international sponsors in the conduct of both early and late phase trials.
## What You'll Do

- Act as a primary technical communication bridge between application development and infrastructure teams, providing clear, timely updates and ensuring shared understanding including security and compliance throughout the delivery lifecycle.

- Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines for application builds, testing, and deployment.
- Automate application deployment workflows targeting AWS services, with an emphasis on reliability and repeatability.
- Deploy and manage containerized applications using AWS ECS Fargate.
- Provision, configure and maintain/monitor AWS resources.
- Write and maintain Terraform code to manage AWS infrastructure in a repeatable, version-controlled manner.
- Perform code reviews.
- Contribute to policies, standards, and guidelines for Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD practices.
- Apply security best practices across infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
- Assist with compliance-related tasks such as audit logging, vulnerability scanning and patch management.
- Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting using CloudWatch, Datadog, or similar tools.
- Develop and maintain platform and system documentation.
