Job Description:
UST Corporation, a biotech company headquartered in greater Boston with a branch in San Diego, is looking for a bioinformatics software engineer to join the team in San Diego. This position is a unique opportunity to work on company’s novel technology for the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms that enables many previously unachievable applications. This person will lead the development and integration of genomic data analysis pipelines to solve challenge genomics problems, such as, haplotype phasing, de novo assembly, structure variation detection, and copy number variation. The ideal candidate will have experience on implementing and productizing NGS data analysis pipeline using techniques such as sequence alignment, text indexing and searching, genome assembly, graph algorithms, combinatorial optimization and probability theory. Experience and/or strong knowledge in cloud computing (AWS) a plus. In addition to strong programming skills, the candidate must have a keen interest in biology and working with real-world data. Strong interpersonal skills, a desire to understand genomics researcher needs and the ability to communicate results clearly are a must. This position will interact closely with colleagues in molecular biology and software. Key Responsibilities:
