Job Description:
The Massachusetts General Hospital Department ofPathology is looking for an exceptional software engineer to join the Centerfor Integrated Diagnostics (CID). The CID is a leading clinical laboratoryperforming tumor genotyping for cancer patients, with the aim of identifyinggenetic mutations that can guide personalized treatment. Our results areroutinely used in cancer care at MGH, often being the last hope for people withStage III and Stage IV tumors. We innovate across multiple disciplines,including bioinformatics, laboratory science, data science and software engineering.We develop our own tools when off-the-shelf solutions are not available –including a Lab Information Management System (LIMS), large-scalebioinformatics analysis (CIDer), variant storage & reporting (VarVetter),among others. We are also one of the first clinical laboratories developing andusing Machine Learning models in everyday clinical practice. We are seeking a highly-motivated engineer tojoin our Clinical Informatics team, the engineering core of the Center forIntegrated Diagnostics. You will work closely with a cross-disciplinary team ofclinicians, pathologists, biostatisticians, bioinformaticians, data scientistsand software engineers to employ and develop software tools for our laboratoryoperations. You would be joining an agile team that combines the best ofindustry and academia: we use git, do code reviews for all production software,practice unit testing and continuous integration, and use the latestopen-source libraries and tools: python, scikit-learn, biopython, pandas,numpy, TensorFlow, keras, Apache Spark, Docker, Kubernetes,postgresql/GreenPlum, jupyter, Semantic Media Wiki, GATK, and MongoDB. As part of the Clinical Informatics team, youwill develop innovative software that directly impacts patient care at MGH,including the integration of novel Machine Learning and decision supportsystems into clinical workflows. If you are looking to build robust systemsthat make a real impact, we would love to have you with us. Primary Duties Include:
