The Centre for Population Genomics (CPG) Rare Disease Program is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our high-energy team of computational biologists and researchers. This role suits a versatile, AI-fluent engineer who will orchestrate AI agents across the stack and apply the engineering judgement needed to verify what they produce. Working closely with senior AI and genomics leads, you’ll also be part of an active collaboration with Anthropic, working alongside their team to develop a rare disease diagnosis platform built on frontier AI models.

What you’ll do  

• Partner directly with bioinformaticians and researchers to understand data bottlenecks and rapidly iterate on technical solutions
• Proactively use and experiment with AI coding assistants and agents to accelerate development cycles across the entire stack
• Review and refine AI-generated code, and write the tests and checks that make it trustworthy
• Develop high-quality open-source software packages designed for bioinformaticians, researchers and clinicians
• Deploy and run services within CPG’s existing Google Cloud Platform architecture to support large-scale genomic analysis
