Job Description:
We are seeking a software engineer to support the development of world-class solutions to support our research & translational efforts in NIBR Oncology. Your work would directly accelerate research which brings new, life-saving products to the clinic. Prior experience developing scientific applications in a pharmaceutical or biotech environment is a plus. Responsibilities: In this role, you would be responsible for the integration, management & visualization of a range of different clinical, biomarker & genomics datasets. You would work with teams producing genomic data to leverage and integrate this data with other systems and services. You would collaborate on project teams with software engineers, scientists, clinicians, subject matter experts, and data curation experts. Your work would be challenging, impactful, and relevant to the core mission of NIBR Oncology. You would develop or deepen your understanding of bioinformatics, the drug discovery process, and the science behind it. Your first project would be the implementation of a data catalog for NIBR Oncology, including marshalling, transforming, and integrating internal and publically available data for bioinformaticians and scientists. You would have opportunities to build new systems for clarifying and visualizing Oncology’s data to facilitate the generation of new scientific hypotheses. These tools would leverage a wide range of existing services and require strong collaboration with other software teams to understand and improve these services. You would be expected to:
