Software Engineer - Xavier Lab
Broad Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts, us, 02140
Description & Requirements
Job Description The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard is one of the world's leading biomedical research institutes. It seeks to discover the molecular basis of major human diseases, develop effective new approaches to diagnostics and therapeutics, and disseminate discoveries, tools, methods, and data openly to the entire scientific community. Founded in 2004, the Broad Institute includes faculty, professional staff, and students from throughout the MIT and Harvard biomedical research communities, with collaborations spanning the globe.Single-cell omics is revolutionizing our understanding of biology and disease. The Xavier Lab and Klarman Cell Observatory (KCO) seek a Senior Software Engineer to be a leader of engineering excellence, create and maintain analysis pipelines and infrastructure, productize key software developed by trainees in the KCO, participate in and contribute to novel methodological development, manage large data sets, and educate members of the community in computational skills. This position represents an exciting opportunity to work on the cutting-edge of computational biology and computer science as a member of a team building computational solutions that scale to ever-increasing dimensions.Scientific areas you'll contribute to:
Single-cell and spatial transcriptomicsUnderstanding biology of cells and tissues in health and diseaseImmunology, cancer, gut biology, microbiome
Job Responsibilities:
Work on high impact studies related to disease and human health.Development of a LIMS system.Create and maintain pipelines and computational infrastructure.Work with trainees to productionize software. This may be done in collaboration with Broad's Data Science Platform to assure best practices in productization.Identify key tertiary analysis algorithms essential to analysis and implement them in horizontally scalable environments to enable data sets of growing dimensions.Manage the Xavier Lab and KCO data footprint, creating computational solutions and data policies.Create and maintain automated data solutions, including archiving and hand-off to collaborators.Lead coding club; a club focused on teaching introductory programming and command line skills.Identify areas of coordination between the KCO, Human Cell Atlas, and Data Science Platform, and assure efforts are in sync with these groups.
