● Assist with cloud-based workflow deployment using AWS services.
● Build and maintain containerized software environments (e.g., Docker) to ensure reproducibility of computational workflows.
Troubleshooting & Support
● Monitor and troubleshoot pipeline execution issues and system performance problems.
● Identify and resolve bottlenecks in data processing pipelines.
● Provide technical support to scientists and lab personnel using the software systems.
Collaboration
● Work closely with bioinformaticians, data scientists, software engineers, and laboratory staff to understand workflow requirements.
● Translate scientific and operational needs into scalable software solutions.
● Participate in cross-functional discussions to improve sequencing workflow efficiency.
Documentation & Best Practices
● Maintain clear documentation of pipelines, applications, and database structures.
● Use Git repositories and version control best practices to manage software development.
● Support testing, validation, and continuous improvement of systems.
Required Qualifications
● Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Software Engineering, or related field w/ MIN 3 years exp
