How do remote biology data scientists typically collaborate with laboratory or field research teams?

Remote biology data scientists often collaborate with laboratory or field research teams through regular virtual meetings, shared cloud-based data repositories, and project management tools. They play a key role in analyzing experimental data, developing models, and providing feedback to guide ongoing experiments. Clear communication and proactive engagement are essential, as remote scientists must bridge the gap between data analysis and hands-on research. Building strong relationships with team members and staying aligned on project goals help ensure smooth workflows and successful outcomes.

What is remote biology data science?

Remote biology data science is a specialized field where professionals apply data analysis, statistical methods, and computational tools to biological data, such as genomic sequences, ecological surveys, or clinical trial results, all while working outside of a traditional office setting. These roles often involve using programming languages like Python or R, collaborating virtually with research teams, and interpreting complex datasets to advance biological research or healthcare outcomes. Remote biology data scientists may work for academic institutions, biotech companies, healthcare organizations, or research labs, handling tasks such as data cleaning, modeling, and visualization from any location with internet access.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote biology data scientist?

To thrive as a Remote Biology Data Scientist, you need a strong background in biology, statistics, and computer science, often supported by an advanced degree in a relevant field. Proficiency with data analysis tools such as Python, R, bioinformatics platforms, and cloud-based data management systems is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication are valuable soft skills for collaborating remotely and interpreting complex biological data. These skills ensure accurate data-driven insights and effective teamwork in a virtual, interdisciplinary environment.

About the Role
We are seeking an exceptional Staff Computational Biologist to drive the next generation of software and data products supporting Target Identification and Prioritization across our research organization. This hybrid role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of biology, computation, product strategy, and engineering execution.
As a senior member of the Translational Platform Engineering team, you will act as a product owner, technical strategist, and rapid prototyper, responsible for shaping the roadmap and delivering tools that power discovery teams. Your day to day includes working with biology data scientists to harden their notebooks and workflows, pushing new releases to production (on a predictable schedule), and sitting with biologists and chemists as they use the UIs to advance our translational biology efforts. The Staff Computational Biologist is the key to translating use cases into technical specifications for engineering teams.
This is a highly visible and impactful role where you will contribute to a human-biology-first approach to drug discovery programs by leading the end-to-end lifecycle of platform capabilities used daily by our Target ID scientists.
What You'll Do...
  • Own the product roadmap for Target ID software.
  • Gather and prioritize scientific requirements from internal users.
  • Translate use cases into technical specifications for engineering teams.
  • Rapidly prototype computational solutions using Python.
  • Develop and maintain internal packages, reproducible workflows, and APIs.
  • Establish documentation, onboarding materials, and best practices for internal platform usage.
  • Lead cross-functional project execution (data engineering, software engineering).
  • Follow good engineering practices (i.e. CI/CD, predictable demo cadence, etc.)

What You Bring...
  • Bachelor's/ Master's degree in relevant field (computational biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, computer science) or equivalent relevant education and experience
  • 6+ years industry experience in computational biology or data-driven discovery; minimum 1 years' experience in software engineering and data engineering teams
  • Proficiency working with programming languages Python, and R, modern development frameworks and developing internal packages
  • Experience with omics/translational data analysis, scalable ETL pipelines, data modeling, and associated QC
  • 1+ years' experience leading complex projects as product owner
  • Experience supporting target identification, prioritization, or multi-modal analysis.

Nice to have...
  • Experience with dashboard development (e.g. Shiny, Dash, Streamlit, React, Veu.js).
  • Understanding of cloud-native tools and modern data platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
  • Familiarity with the drug discovery and development process is a plus
