Job Description:
You will join a team of bioinformaticians and software engineers whose mission is to develop robust, high-performance pipelines that can accurately and reliably analyze large volumes of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Our pipelines provide the foundation for a wide range of clinical and research applications, from genetic disease research, to cancer clinical diagnostics, to leading-edge developments in immuno-oncology. We are looking for someone who will focus on ensuring the highest possible accuracy of these pipelines, including designing and executing clinical-grade validation plans for our products.

Responsibilities:

 Participate in the development, deployment, and maintenance of our bioinformatics pipelines, focusing on improving robustness and accuracy.

 Lead the development and execution of our pipeline validation processes.

 Coordinate with QA engineers to design and execute test plans, and to help guide pipelines through QA and into Production.

 Work with the operations team to help rapidly resolve any issues encountered in the Production environment.

Education:

 Minimum BS in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or a related field. MS/PhD preferred.

 The ideal candidate will have 3+ years experience working in a bioinformatics role.

Qualifications:

 Bioinformatics

 Experience with high-throughput bioinformatics analyses of NGS data, including use of standard tools such as BWA, GATK, SAMTools, etc.

 Experience developing high-performance pipelines for sequence alignment, variant-calling, and variant annotation

 Ability to develop and execute clinical-grade validation of NGS pipelines, including deep understanding of the salient statistical metrics

 Familiarity with different assays and modes of sequencing (WGS vs. Exome, RNA-seq)

 Some background in molecular biology and genomics

 Software development

 Expertise in at least one common programming language (e.g., Python, C/C++, Java, R)

 Expertise with BASH scripting and Unix/Linux command line tools

 Experience with software development best practices, including: unit testing, continuous integration,issue tracking, software life cycle, and code sharing
