Why Join Us?

Be a hero for our rare disease patients

At Ultragenyx, we fundamentally believe that taking real impactful action to care for the needs of patients and our people is always the right thing to do. To achieve this goal, our vision is to lead the future of rare disease medicine. For us, this means going where other biopharma companies won’t go – challenging the status quo and creating a new model that advances our field so more patients and caregivers can benefit from life-changing treatments. We do this by following the science, applying a novel rapid development approach, making innovative medicines at fair and reasonable prices, and creating a collaborative ecosystem to reach patients in ways that are most meaningful for them.

Our commitment and care for patients extends to our people, so culture is an essential cornerstone for Ultragenyx. We remain continuously focused on creating a supportive and inclusive environment of profound learning and growth – so employees can thrive in all areas of their lives, in and outside of work. Ultimately, we want to be an organization where we would be proud for our family, friends and children to work.

If you want to have a meaningful impact, do the best work of your career, and grow a lot, both professionally and personally, come join our team.

Position Summary:

We are seeking a seasoned Senior Network Systems Architect to lead the evolution of our global hybrid network and systems infrastructure. This role requires a strong foundation in Cisco Meraki, Azure Cloud networking, and Cisco ASA. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on expertise in designing, scaling, and supporting both on-premises and cloud environments, while contributing to a secure, reliable, and high-performing enterprise network.

Familiarity with automation tools such as Python, Terraform, and Ansible is preferred, but not mandatory for success. Experience working with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and global telecom carriers to negotiate contracts and provision circuits is essential. This position combines architecture with day-to-day operational support, requiring a balance of strategic planning and practical execution.
