Job Description:
The PositionThe Position As a Bioinformatics Software Engineer
within the Data Science and Statistical Computing group in the
Research Informatics and Software Engineering department of
Genentech Research, you will work with computational biologists and
software engineers to develop interfaces to our core genomic
cloud-based data infrastructure. You will lead the design,
execution, maintenance, and support of these interfaces with a
focus on sustainable software practices. You will work closely with
other software engineers and architects to understand the technical
details and limitations of existing solutions when applied to
various scientific use cases and contribute to improvements of our
architecture. Your technical, hands-on knowledge of software best
practices and scientific understanding will enable our scientists,
across a range of computational expertise, to discover drug targets
and biomarkers from high-throughput data and ultimately deliver
life saving therapies to our patients. You should be passionate
about sustainable software engineering practices, the
transformative potential of health-related data, and our mission to
improve the lives of patients. You should have a flexible and
learning mindset, be able to work in a fluid and dynamic
environment, be comfortable leading globally distributed
development teams and have a strong desire to pursue creative
solutions to challenging problems. Responsibilities Develop
R/Python clients for use by data scientists to access databases of
genomic and phenotypic data. Leverage your domain expertise to
collaborate with scientists and other engineers towards the
production and deployment of domain-specific data products. Lead
local and off-shore engineering teams to support your efforts.
Effectively communicate strategies, ideas, goals and progress to
departmental, cross-functional and senior management. Contribute to
the broader scientific and engineering community through
open-source software development. Successful applicants will meet
many of the following requirements: BS or higher in bioinformatics,
computer science or related fields. 5+ years experience (including
any graduate school) designing and implementing data science
tooling. Seniority of position will depend on experience and other
factors. Demonstrated adherence to best practices in software
engineering, particularly usability, version control, testing,
documentation, and release management. Fluent in one or more
scripting languages such as Python or R. Familiarity with common
AWS cloud services is a plus. Experience working in
scientific/Bioinformatics environments. In addition, You are
enthusiastic about working in a scientific environment, especially
one that is related to drug discovery and development. You have an
obsession for providing pragmatic tools to data scientists and
realize that users are like water; if your solution doesn't work,
they'll find one anyway, and then you have two problems instead of
one. You know that security has to be integrated in the early
stages of the development of a solution, in order to be efficient
and future-proof. You are a quick learner, are curious about new
areas and the opportunity to build expertise, and courageously and
creatively take initiative to see your ideas implemented. You are
able to perform at a high level in a fast changing and demanding
environment. You are pragmatic about the tradeoffs between
features, quality, timeliness, and cost. You are interested in the
bigger picture. #rise #gredinformatic Who We Are A member of the
