Entry Level Software Engineer Remote Jobs in Rochester, MN

Mayo Clinic's Genomics and Emerging Systems Unit is seeking a Software Engineer to design, develop, and maintain .NET-based applications and services that support genomics and clinical workflows.  These systems run in on-premises and cloud environments, including Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and integrate with other enterprise systems through secure APIs and web services. The Software Engineer will build and optimize services that handle complex laboratory workflows, clinical datasets, and high-volume genomic data processing. This includes ensuring services meet performance, reliability, data integrity, and quality requirements as data volumes grow.

The role collaborates closely with cross-functional teams to translate business, clinical, and technical requirements into maintainable software solutions that meet federal regulatory guidelines. Software Engineer responsibilities include designing and implementing services aligned to enterprise architecture, including cloud-ready APIs, data integration pipelines, and secure interoperability layers for systems that primarily support genomic data and laboratory workflows.

The engineer participates in Agile and DevOps practices using tools such as GitHub, Azure DevOps, Azure Pipelines, and CI/CD frameworks. Work may include deployment automation and configuration management for both on-premises and cloud-hosted applications. Development efforts leverage modern .NET technologies, cloud-native patterns, API-first design, and secure coding practices. Responsibilities also include maintaining comprehensive technical documentation, contributing to code reviews, and participating in advanced troubleshooting through log analysis, root cause evaluation, and data/system investigation.

This position requires effective communication with peers, leaders, and clinical partners across the organization. The engineer will develop working knowledge of laboratory genomics workflows, organizational processes, and customer needs while performing technical assignments with moderate guidance and increasing autonomy.
