Senior Data Scientist, Bioinformatics

About the position

With treatments for hundreds of diseases in our sights, we've built a data science team with domain expertise in computer science, bioinformatics, physics, biology, mathematics, applied statistics, and more. We work side-by-side with biologists, automation scientists, chemists, software engineers, and many others; together, we develop the tools and methods to turn our experimental data into treatments for pathologies that affect the lives of countless individuals. As a data scientist supporting the development of our scaled transcriptomics capabilities, you'll be designing, building, testing and deploying both development and production NGS analysis workflows.

Responsibilities

• Develop methods, metrics, benchmarks, models and workflows to help drive drug discovery in a standardized way
• Build scalable production bioinformatics workflows to support our NGS assays
• Create and analyze enormous sets of connected data for a variety of programs to learn how best to advance drug discovery in an industrialized way
• Collaborate with engineering teams to mature your models and analyses and put them into productionized flows
• Deliver quickly and iteratively, both supporting in-flight programs and building improvements for the long-term
• Learn to leverage new code packages and data science techniques as needed

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience building bioinformatics workflows for next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis, preferably in an industry setting
• Experience analyzing NGS data to develop, optimize, or support an NGS assay
• Experience building and maintaining scaled production analysis workflows, bioinformatics workflows a plus
• Experience with professional software development using best practices including version control (e.g. git) and code review
• High fluency in Python and data science libraries
• Experience creating effective visualizations in Python
• RNAseq bioinformatics experience a plus
