Job Description:
The Translational Genomics Scientific Programming Group within EA Genomics works alongside bioinformaticists to develop software for DNA and RNA workflows. New members are expected to have an immediate impact on current activities and help to define the direction we take as we grow. DIRECTIVES Flexibility. You will be one of a handful of software engineers in an organization that prides itself with its ability to quickly adapt and adjust to the needs of our clients. You will need to communicate with people who do not have software engineering backgrounds. You will be asked to perform tasks that are outside of your comfort zone. Pragmatism. We believe that greenfield software development exists, but that it is rare. There will almost always be something you can use that someone else developed. You will often need to interface with legacy systems. You will have to balance risk and reward to fit your solution into a scheduled deadline that was set without your input. Curiosity. We hire software engineers and teach them bioinformatics. You may learn things about molecular biology, DNA and RNA sequencing, and statistical analysis every week. You may need to become our expert on a popular data format, or learn a statistical scripting language to support your next project. You will get to know the needs of our customers, the research performed by your coworkers, and bioinformatic details about every project you work on.
