Job Description:
DESCRIPTION
The CI Developer will create and maintain elements of the CI. You will need to work flexibly across multiple technologies, both front-end, back-end, and database, and will need to rapidly acquire skills in new programming languages and environments, packages, and databases. The project uses an aggressive array of technologies to deliver high-performance access to the stored networks and biological analytics, and to implement front-end integration with web-based interfaces and visualization. The developer will interact with scientists using the CI in bioinformatic and biological research.
Other tasks will include: System administration of public and internal servers; Software deployment and distribution; Database management, backup, migration, and recovery.
The CI Developer will interface with colleagues from project sponsors, and with collaborators in the UCSD community and worldwide.
The CI Developer can be either a computing professional that knows a little biology and is ready to learn a lot more biology, or a biology professional that has demonstrating programming ability and is ready to learn a lot more about computing. Computational biologists are especially welcome.
Requirements
QUALIFICATIONS
• Undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science or related area, plus 5 or more years of work or research experience in software development, OR undergraduate or graduate degree in biology or related area, plus 2 years or more programming experience.
• For computing professionals: demonstrated work experience and proficiency with software engineering techniques, disciplines, and methodologies, including requirements gathering, analysis and maintenance; system architecture and design. Experience with testing and test strategies; experience creating and using code and test libraries.
• Proven ability to work independently. Take ownership of work performance and follow through on assignments. Anticipate, identify and analyze problems and resolve or recommend course of action for resolution as appropriate. Adaptable and collaborative, able to work in a diverse development community.
