    About this role

    Senior Scientist - NGS Bioinformatics (Data Standardization & Platform Integration) What you will do
    The Bioinformatician NGS (Data Standardization & Platform Integration) will support Large Molecule Discovery by standardizing, validating, and scaling NGS data workflows so sequencing outputs can be reliably reused across research programs and enterprise platforms. This role will focus on making NGS pipelines reproducible, efficient, and ready for integration into existing data systems and downstream analytics.
    Working closely with bioinformatics principal scientists, data scientists, software engineers, and laboratory scientists, this individual will help ensure sequencing data is well structured, consistent, and suitable for broader use in analytics, machine learning, and platform-enabled research. The role combines workflow optimization, data standardization, and platform integration, and is well suited for someone who enjoys building robust computational systems that improve scale, consistency, and reuse.
    In this role, your core responsibilities include:
    • Standardize, validate, and optimize NGS workflows to support reproducible and scalable sequencing analysis across research programs and data analysis pipelines.
    • Improve pipeline performance, including runtime, memory efficiency, operational reliability, and consistency of outputs.
    • Support development of NGS data models, metadata standards, and structured output formats to ensure sequencing information is captured and stored appropriately for downstream use in the database/CDL and broader informatics ecosystem.
    • Collaborate closely with bioinformatics scientists, data scientists, software engineers, and laboratory scientists to align workflow requirements and integration sequencing data into enterprise platforms for analytics, reporting, and downstream reuse.
    • Support validation, testing, and reproducibility practices that help ensure sequencing workflows are reliable, traceable, and suitable for long-term operational use.
    Win What we expect of you
    We are all different, yet we all use our unique contributions to serve patients. The dynamic professional we seek is a subject matter expert with these qualifications.
    Basic Qualifications:

    • Masters degree with 8+ years of directly related experience
    • Bachelors degree and 10+ years of directly related experience
    Preferred Qualifications:
    • PhD with 5+ years of experience standardizing, validating, and scaling NGS workflows for reproducible use across research programs or enterprise environments.
    • Strong background in workflow performance optimization, including runtime, memory efficiency, and operational stability.
    • Familiarity with workflow management and orchestration tools such as Nextflow or Snakemake.
    • Experience with structured NGS data capture in LIMS for downstream analytics and platform use.
    • Experience integrating bioinformatics outputs into enterprise data platforms and structured repositories with an emphasis on supporting data governance, traceability, lineage, and reproducibility for scientific datasets.
    • Experience working closely with data scientists to ensure scientific data is modeled, saved, and organized correctly for downstream use.
    • Familiarity with containerization and cloud- or HPC-based execution environments.
