Bioinformatics Engineer
BCforward is currently seeking for a highly motivated Bioinformatics Engineer at Atlanta, GA 30326

Role: Bioinformatics Engineer
Location: Atlanta, GA 30326
Expected Duration: 6 Months

Development Sciences Informatics seeks a talented and highly motivated Bioinformatics Software Engineer with expert knowledge of modern genomic data processing workflows and their application to cutting-edge biological sciences.
The team you are joining supports gRED scientists with highly scalable and reproducible workflows for the analysis of pre-clinical and clinical sequencing data from transcriptomic, genomic, and (epi)-genetic assays at the bulk and single cell level.
The primary focus of this position is to maintain and extend an orchestration system for high throughput genomic workflows to scale with the ever growing data volume and diversity as biology becomes a quantitative science.
Your work will enable us to readily deploy our containerized workflows, with an emphasis on reproducibility and scalability, to public and private cloud environments so we can compute where the data resides. You are well informed about evolving and established data standards, workflow frameworks and relevant open source tools.
You can evaluate and incorporate these tools into our data platform and complement them with your own software as needed.
A successful candidate will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of Software Engineers, DevOps engineers and Computational Biology Scientists to deploy and execute genomic workflows on thousands of samples and hundreds of projects at any given time.
You are adapting our platform to new compute environments and continually make it more performant and robust.
You are guiding our workflow developers to optimize their workflows for throughput, reliability and cost.
Successful candidates will meet many of the following requirements
You have expert knowledge of a modern genomic framework system (ideally cromwell/WDL, alternatively CWL, nextflow, toil) and have not only written workflows but have looked behind the curtain and deployed or configured the framework in a cloud environment
You have expert knowledge of containerization in the context of genomic workflows, including automatic builds, CI/CD and container registries (e.g. dockstore, quai.io)
You have successfully planned and implemented multiple software projects throughout the whole development cycle (planning, implementation, testing, release, maintenance) following modern software development practices.
You are able to break down large problems into smaller software components and can develop them independently or as part of a large team.
You have strong experience in the use of a high-level, object oriented programming language such as Python, Java and a strong understanding of Linux/Unix.
You have knowledge of best practices for software engineering including but not limited to IaC, CI/CD, and software containerization.
You are comfortable working both independently and collaboratively, and with handling several concurrent, fast paced projects.
You are able to execute technical projects at global scale, across multiple teams and time zones. Strategic, analytical mindset and ability to innovate using technology to advance business goals.
You have strong communication skills and can untangle and discuss complex technical tasks. Prior experience in a life science or drug development environment is beneficial.
