Job Description:
We’re looking for a well-rounded software engineer to help us imagine, build, and deploy beautiful, robust websites and mobile applications that connect patients directly with researchers to dramatically accelerate our search for cures to a wide variety of diseases. OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY
Additional Info:
The life sciences are in the midst of a data revolution. Cheap and accurate genome sequencing is a reality, high-resolution imaging is becoming routine, and clinical data is increasingly stored in machine-readable formats. These breakthroughs have brought us to the threshold of a new era in biomedicine, one where the data sciences hold the potential to propel our understanding and treatment of human disease. The Broad Institute’s Data Sciences Platform sits at the center of this transformation. Our team is charged with building a suite of sophisticated software products to serve both the Institute and the world. We play a pivotal role in flagship scientific efforts such as the All of Us Cohort Program and the Human Cell Atlas, and we collaborate with world leading technology corporations, philanthropic organizations, and pharmaceutical companies. Together, these activities make us a leading organization at the intersection of the life sciences and data sciences. Our team is interdisciplinary and multifaceted, and our engineering is supported by a terrific TechOps/DevOps group. We strive for diversity, openness, respect, freedom and responsibility, great code, and the ability to convert the sometimes fuzzy hopes and dreams of our research-driven stakeholders into valuable, working code. We’re agile and test-driven—but not dogmatically so—and we aim to strike a balance between time-to-market and sustainability. We are all constantly learning, integrating, and teaching one another across many domains: user experience, engineering, genomics, wet-lab operations, research, and security to name a few. We encourage the growth of deep technical knowledge across our stack, ranging from cloud-based virtualized backends all the way through to frontend javascript and mobile apps, but we also embrace technical specialization. We have a full stack mindset, but we each gravitate towards different aspects of the stack over time. Together, we cover all the bases. Overall, what gets us up in the morning is knowing that what we do makes a real difference in the lives of those who are impacted by complex disease. We’d love to talk to you about our open positions! EOE / Minorities / Females / Protected Veterans / Disabilities [Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
