Job Description:
Berkeley Lab’s Environmental Genomics & Systems Biology Division has an opening for a Bioinformatics Software Developer. We are looking for full stack software engineers to help us create innovative solutions to functionally annotate and interpret the genomes for humans and other organisms, to help diagnose and elucidate diseases, and to further our understanding of the biological mechanisms underpinning these diseases. Our group provides infrastructure, APIs, data integration and ontologies for multiple major projects including the Gene Ontology, the Monarch Initiative, the Open Biological Ontologies, and the NCATS Translator projects. We use a variety of languages (JavaScript, Python, Java, Scala) and database systems (graph databases, triplestores, and document stores). This role will be a software developer with experience developing web-based applications and a keen sense of software and API design. You should have a strong interest in biology or biomedicine, a willingness to learn, and to work with top domain experts to develop the best applications for encoding biological knowledge and interpreting complex biological datasets is highly desirable. What You Will Do:
