As a Software Engineer 2 our Data Engineering & Master Data Management group in our Rockville, Maryland facility, you will design, develop, and implement software applications to support the full range of genomics service offerings. These services broadly span the product biosafety and pharmacogenomics fields.
In this role, you will provide core computational/software development and technical (programming/pipeline development) functions supporting a range of genomics-based (e.g., next generation) testing services. In this role, you will consult closely with management and the bioinformatics and software engineering/IT teams and end users (including support staff) to understand needs and requirements to aid in software development. You will lead by example and work collaboratively to advance the application of bioinformatics in the field of biosafety testing.
In this role, you may experience minimal travel as well as overtime or flexible shifts.
