Full Stack Software Engineer - Pathogen

At the Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT), we're on a mission to translate scientific discovery into real world impact. We bring together visionary scientists, technologists, policy makers, and entrepreneurs to tackle humanity's greatest challenges in four transformative areas:

• Health, Medical Science & Generative Biology
• Food Security & Sustainable Agriculture
• Climate Change & Managing CO₂
• Artificial Intelligence & Robotics
  
  

This is ambitious work - work that demands curiosity, courage, and a relentless drive to make a difference. At EIT, you'll join a community built on excellence, innovation, tenacity, trust, and collaboration, where bold ideas become real-world breakthroughs. Together, we push boundaries, embrace complexity, and create solutions to scale ideas from lab to society. Explore more at www.eit.org.

Welcome to the Pathogen Project:

Within this ecosystem, the Pathogen Project exemplifies EIT's dedication to ground-breaking science. It seeks to transform pathogen risk management, detection and response by leveraging Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)-based metagenomic and pathogen-specific analytical tools. The goal is to power metagenomic devices using long-read sequencing technologies by building a comprehensive database of pathogen information to inform response. Enabled by Oracle Inc.'s cloud-computing scale and security, the Pathogen Project is advancing toward certified diagnostic tools for deployment in laboratories, hospitals, and public health organisations worldwide.

Your Role:

At EIT we are seeking an experienced and detailed orientated Full Stack Software Engineer to help design, build, and maintain user facing components of our scalable, high-performance data platform supporting our bioinformaticians and science teams.

You'll collaborate closely as part of a cross functional team working with architects, platform and data engineers to deliver platform tools to help manage the full data lifecycle in the platform, monitor sequencing device telemetry and provide the tooling our science teams need to discover and use the data.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and support web applications deployed to support the data platform
• Own the full stack development for tools that support data management across the full lifecycle, including ingest monitoring, curation, managing releases, monitoring data quality, and user access control management
• Build and support components to help manage ingest from and monitor distributed next-generation sequencing devices, including device telemetry (Kafka, MQTT streaming from Oxford Nanopore NGS devices)
• Design, develop, and maintain platform tools to support our bioinformaticians and science teams in discovering, understanding, and accessing data (Pathogen data catalogue, Quality dashboards, Management information reporting)
