Job Description:
Identifies trends and problems through complex big data analysis. Interprets results from multiple sources using a variety of techniques, ranging from simple data aggregation via statistical analysis to complex data mining independently. Responsibilities: As a member of the HCI Research Informatics team, this Software Design Engineer Sr/Data Wrangler position requires a strong data, analysis, database, programming, and data management background. The successful candidate will support high-throughput experimental methodologies, large genomic datasets, and their computational analysis. Prior laboratory experience generating genomic datasets and/or bioinformatics analysis experience is desired. Familiarity with disease, pathology, and phenotype ontologies (including SNOMED and Human Phenotype Ontology) and public databases (including ClinVar and dbSNP) a plus. Experience working with relational and noSQL databases, cloud data storage ecosystems, working in software development environments, using modern version control systems, and interacting with REST APIs are preferred. Advanced education or experience in biology or bioinformatics is highly desired to facilitate the assessment of experimental details and to successfully evaluate quality control of novel experimental data. This individual will be responsible for working with bioinformatics staff in the specification, design, engineering, and implementation of tools that upload/download, integrate, search, and display these high-throughput data. The candidate will create and maintain software and tools that manage and audit large datasets. The Data Wrangler will be responsible for developing software that maintains data integrity and accuracy. The successful candidate will also collaborate with scientists and software engineers to implement new data models. The selected candidate will provide database server life cycle support including database design, development, implementation and support in the development and production environments. The candidate will also assist in providing recommendations and solutions on database and application architecture, database integrity, security and availability to the HCI community. The successful candidate will preferably come from a software development background including development experience in Java and Hibernate.
