Position title: Senior Software Engineer

Employer: Centre for Population Genomics

Closing date: Until filled

Brief position description: The Centre for Population Genomics is looking for a Senior Software Engineer. You will be responsible for leading the production workflows group within the software team, focussing on designing and implementing large scale genomic analysis methods (using and extending frameworks like Hail) that feed into web-based tools (like the gnomAD browser or seqr) for providing intuitive access to complex scientific datasets.

This role will be a part of a small, high-energy software engineering team that will work in close collaboration with the Centre’s genomic analysis teams. You will lead the group that develops the workflow framework and infrastructure that’s used continuously by the Centre’s core pipelines used for large cohort and rare disease analysis, iterating with the computational biologists and population geneticists in the analysis teams on the productionization of their analysis methods.

All software developed by the Centre will be open-source and designed using best practices to ensure widespread use by the wider scientific community, and rapid translation into impact on human biology and medicine. You will work in an environment that combines the intellectual freedom and collaboration of academia with rigorous, open software development practices. To make sure our solutions prove useful for the wider genomics community, we’ll be working closely with partners like the Broad Institute.

The role comes with a competitive base salary, salary packaging benefits, and full flexibility to work remotely. This is a four-year full-time role with high possibility to extend.
