Job Description:
The increasing sophistication of biological analysis and representation requires increasingly complex yet intuitive user interface solutions which often demand novel technological approaches to implement them. Expression Atlas is a value added database servicing queries for gene expression patterns (e.g. genes over-expressed in a particular tissue or disease state) as well as broader exploratory searches for biologically interesting genes/samples.
The post-holder will be fully involved in developing, delivering into production environment and maintaining the Atlas software. You will also be required to evaluate and benchmark state-of-the-art candidate technologies, frameworks and patterns.
The post-holder will report to the Gene Expression Team Leader.
The EBI is part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and it is a world leading bioinformatics centre providing biological data to the scientific community with expertise in data storage, analysis and representation. EMBL-EBI provides freely available data from life science experiments, performs basic research in computational biology and offers an extensive user training programme, supporting researchers in academia and industry. We are part of EMBL, Europe's flagship laboratory for the life sciences. The successful candidate will possess a BSc or equivalent in computer science or a related subject (e.g. mathematics) and will have 3 or more years experience in web development with a proven track record in this area (applications should include references to contributed projects and open source repositories.
The ideal candidate must have experience with the following:
• Java software engineering and TDD skills: Core Java and open source extensions (Guava, Commons, etc)
• Object orientated code quality metrics
• xUnit, Hamcrest, Selenium WebDriver
• Dependency Injection: Spring
• Maven and Continuous Integration: JDBC/JPA/SQL
• Web UI/REST development: CSS, JSP
• UI Sketching, Mocking, Composition
• TDD JavaScript (Jasmine, Mocha or other equivalent technology)

In addition to the above, knowledge of the following would be a distinct advantage:
• Apache/Tomcat
• Soir/Lucene/NoSql
• Web application performance
• Monitoring
• Distributed data
• SQL/NoSQL
• Linux
Strong technical, interpersonal and communication skills are key to this position. The Expression Atlas team is interdisciplinary, consisting of user interface developers, scientists and bioinformaticians. The candidate will be expected to work closely with other Atlas team members, project stakeholders, collaborators, users and other teams within EMBL-EBI.
