- 3+ Years of experience post M.S., preferably in Computer Science, exposure to biology preferable
- Hands-on programming, effective orchestration of AI coding agents, or both, with the ability to specify architecture and constraints, validate what is built, and take responsibility for the result
- Data modelling skills, including relational models and ORMs, sample and experiment identity, and how modelling choices affect later queries (current stack: PostgreSQL on AWS RDS, SQLAlchemy, and Alembic)
- Python data engineering experience (Pandas, NumPy, and PyArrow are useful)
- Integration and automation experience (current stack: FastAPI, Benchling, REST, and MCP)
- Working knowledge of AWS (S3, RDS, EC2, Secrets Manager, and Bedrock), including credentials and permissions
- Strong judgement on data integrity. Demonstrated delivery matters more than any particular tool, or than having written every component by hand
- Biological knowledge strongly preferred (genes and proteins, cell types, antibody assays, transcriptomics, proteomics, controls, and replicates), and comfort collaborating with experimental scientists
Helpful, but not required
- Laboratory automation: connecting instruments or control systems to software and AWS. The role may later extend from data handling into experimental automation.
- LLM applications: structured extraction, evidence checks, evaluation, and cost control with Bedrock, Anthropic, or OpenAI.
- Interfaces: React/TypeScript, Vite, and Plotly.
- Familiarity with relational databases
