Summary
Bioinformatics Research Lab (www.genboree.org/site/bioinformatics_research_laboratory) participates in the Clinical Genome Resource (Clingen) (clinicalgenome.org/) project, a NIH-funded consortium that is developing a central resource to define the clinical relevance of genes and variants for use in precision medicine and research. We are seeking a Programmer Analyst II to fill an important role in the project. The Programmer Analyst II will develop and extend the project data repository, the API services, and the associated web-based tools. To develop these resources, the Programmer Analyst II will evaluate requirements, implement improvements to automated data submission pipelines, use and extend a documented-oriented NoSQL database, and implement and test solutions while working closely with project team members to solicit user feedback. A goal for the software created by programmers will be their application to important biological and medical questions for publication in high impact journals.
Domain expertise in the biological sciences is not required but candidates must be proficient in Ruby and have employed it as part of their full-stack development experience, ideally in the form of Ruby-on-Rails applications. Proficiency in NodeJS will also be viewed favorably. Candidates must be able to design, implement, and test generic software solutions with an emphasis on reusability, as well as being able to extend an existing system. Successful applicants will present and discuss requirements, specifications, backend and UI designs, create necessary test data, test software, and prepare documentation.
