The McPherson and Shah Labs are seeking a talented and self-driven Bioinformatics Software Engineer to develop and maintain software systems for large-scale genomic data analysis. You will join an interdisciplinary team of computational scientists, molecular biologists, and clinicians working to uncover the molecular foundations of cancer and translate genomic discoveries into improved treatments—particularly for rare and aggressive pediatric cancers.
This role is open to mid-level and senior candidates, including individuals with two or more years of professional experience post-undergraduate training, as well as more experienced engineers seeking high ownership and impact.
Role Overview:
In this role, you will design, build, and maintain software that enables researchers to analyze, visualize, and interpret genomic data at scale. You will work on infrastructure that directly supports large-scale research and translational efforts, including near–real-time analysis of patient tumor samples.
The position balances:
You will contribute across the full software lifecycle, from design and implementation to testing, documentation, and deployment, in a small, highly collaborative team.
