DESCRIPTION

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build the UI and back-end of high-complexity yet responsive web applications to both internally and public facing networks
• Develop web-based visualization tools and UI design that identify patterns emerging from data analyses that combine information from sequence, expression, genome variation, disease mutations, and 3D structural information
• Work with Blue Sky database engineer and members of Babu Group to integrate and manage currently existing and new datasets in the Babu Group into a platform that can easily be accessed, analyzed and visualized by Blue Sky Kinase Project members
• Work with data scientists and experimentalists to understand interesting domain-specific datasets and build new high-performance tools to extract new insights from those data; teach other members how to use these tools

REQUIREMENTS

• Exceptionally strong background and skills in the development of web sites and applications
• Expertise working with biological data (structural data, sequences, expression, network, genomic data, etc.) or a strong willingness to acquire the required knowledge
• Proven expertise in successfully deploying web applications to internal or public-facing networks
• A strong understanding and ability to work with SQL datasets, and familiarity with next-gen ORMs that abstract these data types (e.g., SQLAlchemy, GraphQL, Prisma, Apollo, etc.)
• Strong proficiency with the different cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) as well as hybrid cloud technologies
• Strong adherence to using version control software, functionality testing, reviewing and debugging code
• Drive and enthusiasm to stay current with technological advances in the field, apply them to the Team's workflows, and teach other team members
• Ability to contribute new ideas to automate or improve existing analysis methods. Independently implement improvements or help others to do so. Participate in manuscript preparation
• Ability to work in a computational biology-oriented lab, collaborate with other members (experimental and computational) of the groups, supervise others, analyze areas of weakness, and schedule training sessions accordingly
• Periodically organize meetings and update all relevant team members of progress
• Our preference is for candidates who have demonstrated proficiency working with large biological datasets. However, we will be happy to other consider candidates if they can demonstrate experience working with large datasets from multiple fields outside of biology

• Bachelor's degree is required
• Master's or PhD is preferred

• Demonstrated expertise in designing, building, and securely deploying powerful web-based interactive applications that interface with internally or cloud-hosted data
• Demonstrated proficiency in both front-end and back-end development
• Ability to work with large, complex, and diverse data sets in a very fast-paced, intellectually curious environment
• Expert in at least one modern web-framework: React, Angular, Vue, or Django
• Expert in at least one modern visualization application such as D3.js, Three.js
• Expertise building, curating, and managing databases using state-of-the-art frameworks and a strong willingness to integrate currently existing and continually created data within the group
• Our preference is for candidates who have demonstrated proficiency working with large biological datasets, but we will be happy to consider other candidates who have diverse experience working with large datasets from multiple fields outside of biology
• A minimum of five (5) years of relevant experience as a web developer is required

• Thirteen (13) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required
• Eleven (11) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required with a Master's degree
• Eight (8) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required with a PhD

• Ten (10) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required
