As a Senior Software Engineer you will wear several hats and be recognized as much for your leadership skills, team building as for your expertise in web technologies, distributed systems, and high-performance cloud computing platforms. Your top three priorities will be Infrastructure/Platform, Applications, and Leadership.

How you will spend your time:

  • Solving difficult problems related to processing large amounts of data.
  • Building the distributed infrastructure using public and private cloud platform to enable aggregation, storage and computation of petabytes of genomic data.
  • Working with bioinformaticians and biologists to create the most efficient and production-grade applications to build genomic analysis tools on top of the RSS platform.
  • Participating in product design and development, customer training and support activities as needed.
  • Synthesizing priorities - Work collaboratively with stakeholders to internalize business needs and drive priorities for the team.
  • Providing guidance during code reviews, with a balance of between idealistic and pragmatic feedback.
  • Identify problems and generally select methods and techniques for obtaining solutions/results.
  • Work independently and/or partners with manager on department wide plans.
  • Proactively exercise creativity, recommend alternative approaches or use new technology to achieve goals. Demonstrate ability to routinely learn and apply new technologies in an accelerated manner.
  • Work on complex problems of diverse scope where analysis of situation or data requires in depth evaluation of various factors which may be difficult to define.
  • Provide leadership in key technical decisions and in the design specification of products.
  • Lead the design effort for a system component, independently defining priorities and evaluating resources.
  • Negotiate complex issues with peers and partners, effectively promoting cohesive teamwork and sustaining focus on goals.

  • 5+ years of hands on experience in large scale production coding, agile, architecture, and people leadership.
  • Experience in web technologies, distributed systems, and high-performance cloud computing platforms.
  • Java is your language of choice; for developing reliable, scalable, secure, and high-performing services.
  • You are well versed in Java-based frameworks and run-time environments, skilled in all things integration and some of your best friends are technologies such as REST, SOAP, Thrift, etc..
  • You show relentless dedication to writing testable code.
  • You communicate clearly, and frequently. You believe in pride of ownership. You obsess over the details, without losing the big picture. Your solutions are as elegant even when the problem is intricate.
  • Passion for the opportunity to build superb software products for genome and cancer analysis.
  • Minimum required BS and 5+ years of directly related experience, or an equivalent combination of training and experience, e.g. Master’s degree plus 3 years experience or PhD + 2 years
