Your main responsibilities as a Python Developer will involve:

Developing and operating computational pipelines, working on complex projects and custom tasks that span a wide variety of analysis problems
Developing and applying state-of-the-art approaches to 100,000 whole genome sequencing in the areas of QA, WGS analysis in cancer and rare diseases, sequence alignment/variant calling
Assisting with deploying, maintaining and troubleshooting computational pipelines for WGS processing and analysis
Liaising with internal colleagues as needed to ensure provision and smooth running of computational pipelines for data processing and analysis

REQUIREMENTS

You will need to meet the following requirements:

Educated at degree level in computer science of software engineering
2-3 years' experience in a Python Software engineering environment (commercial) with designing and developing systems interconnected with APIs (REST, RPC)
Strong skills in Python and ideally Bash and Java
