Responsibilities:
  • Analyze data and present findings to drive decision-making in R&D, manufacturing pipeline improvement, and product development.
  • Critically evaluate statistical learning, AI, and bioinformatics tools for their appropriate application to experimental and production data.
  • Design, develop, and deploy scalable and robust bioinformatics pipelines.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and rapidly implement solutions from prototype/concept to production deployment.
  • Ensure data integrity, traceability, accuracy, and security.
  • Use software engineering best practices, including distributed version control, participation in team code review, and automation for building, testing, and deploying production code.

Qualifications:
  • Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biophysics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field. Candidates with equivalent industry experience and demonstrated quantitative skill set will be considered.
  • Proven track record in analyzing, interpreting, and modeling biological data, including high-throughput sequencing data, using Python for data manipulation, analysis, and visualization.
  • Proficient in using a wide range of bioinformatics tools and resources for DNA sequence analysis, including experience using statistical, machine learning, and AI methods in molecular biology and genomics.
  • Demonstrated experience shipping production code in an industry setting using software engineering best practices.
  • Experience deploying automated analysis pipelines using cloud computing resources.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Desire to deliver high-quality results in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary and equity.
  • Generous benefits package including health, dental, and vision.
