Job description

At Caris, we understand that cancer is an ugly word-a word no one wants to hear, but one that connects us all. That's why we're not just transforming cancer care-we're changing lives.
We introduced precision medicine to the world and built an industry around the idea that every patient deserves answers as unique as their DNA. Backed by cutting-edge molecular science and AI, we ask ourselves every day: "What would I do if this patient were my mom?" That question drives everything we do.
But our mission doesn't stop with cancer. We're pushing the frontiers of medicine and leading a revolution in healthcare-driven by innovation, compassion, and purpose.
Join us in our mission to improve the human condition across multiple diseases. If you're passionate about meaningful work and want to be part of something bigger than yourself, Caris is where your impact begins.

  • Ensure the timely delivery of high-quality bioinformatics results by implementing rigorous quality control and validation procedures.
  • Establish and maintain databases, data repositories, and analytical platforms to facilitate data integration, sharing, and access for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with IT and software development teams to optimize computational infrastructure, cloud computing, and database systems to support bioinformatics data storage, analysis, and visualization.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant data protection regulations and ethics guidelines, promoting best practices for data management, privacy, and security.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders, external partners, and customers to provide technical expertise, foster collaborations, and contribute to the development of joint research projects.

Required Qualifications
