• Cross-Functional Strategy: Partner with R&D and Computational Biology teams to translate scientific requirements into high-performance software.

• AI Leadership: Own the AI/ML initiative and strategy, partnering closely with the Computational Biology team to integrate machine learning solutions that automate data interpretation and enable the discovery of high-value biological insights.

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software development experience, including 3+ years managing and mentoring software engineering teams.

• Proven track record leading small, high-impact software teams, fostering a culture of high ownership and technical excellence.

• Expertise in designing, architecting, and operating highly scalable, secure, and data-intensive cloud platforms.

• Strong command of modern engineering practices, including CI/CD and DevOps principles.

• Ability to balance strategic high-level roadmapping with deep-diving into code and architecture with the team.

• Excellent cross-functional communication skills, particularly in translating scientific requirements into robust software solutions.

The ideal candidate will also tick one or more of the following boxes

• Familiarity with NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) data, spatial omics, or proteomics domain context.

• Experience in a startup or biotech environment.

• Proficiency in the core technical stack (e.g., Python backends and modern frontend development) sufficient to support and guide hands-on engineers.

• Previous experience working with AI/ML systems and/or applications.
