Job Description:
The Ensembl Production Team is looking to appoint a skilled and highly motivated Software Developer to join the team at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), which is located on the Wellcome Trust Campus near Cambridge in the UK. The Software Developer will focus on developing software used for production of data releases for Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes, as part of the Ensembl Production Team.The team is responsible for: -Coordination of the production of new releases of Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes data. -Developing new automated pipelines for use in the production process. -Designing and implementing infrastructure for automated production processing. -Ensuring the quality and integrity of data for release. Specific day-to-day duties will include: -Design and implementation of software infrastructure components for automated processing using messaging queues and microservices. -Design and implementation of new production pipelines. -Participating in the planning and coordination of Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes releases, including collaboration with other members of the Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes teams. -Execution of production processes and pipelines. The candidate will report to Dan Staines (Ensembl Production Coordinator) in the team of Andy Yates (Genomics Technology Infrastructure Team Leader). Qualifications and Experience: You must hold a degree in computer science or bioinformatics or a degree in biological sciences and a post-graduate qualification in computer science or bioinformatics. You should have one of the following: a minimum of two years professional programming experience, a bioinformatics based PhD; or research experience with next generation sequencing data. It would be highly desirable if experience had been gained working in other areas of genomic biology or bioinformatics. Experience of data processing workflows either with traditional compute farms (e.g. LSF, SGE) or with distributed processing systems (e.g. Luigi) is necessary and you must be able to demonstrate understanding of these workflows. Evidence of working in a dynamic, team-based environment or contributing to a large, shared code-base is desirable. The post holder must be highly self-motivated and interested in biological science (although biological qualifications are not themselves essential) and be able to work independently. They must be open to working in a production team (willing to conform and contribute to standard working practices); and are expected to have good communication skills, written and verbal, both to facilitate effective communications with other team members and to communicate with external collaborators and users. You must have knowledge of Perl, though experience in a related scripting language (e.g. Python, Ruby) or compiled programming language (e.g. Java) would be applicable. Knowledge of MySQL, writing SQL statements and designing database schemas is essential. Experience of handling large data sets, and knowledge of other database technologies (NoSQL and traditional RDBMS) would be desirable. Experience of messaging queues (e.g. ActiveMQ and the STOMP protocol) and modern reporting frameworks (e.g. Kibana) would also be desirable.
