About Biomodal
Join the multiomic revolution! Over the last 20 years, genomic technologies have enabled significant discoveries that bring the promise of personalised medicine closer than ever before. But after two decades of research, it's clear that genetic variation only tells part of the story – biology is dynamic and more complex than A, C, T, G. Already, the added information from a multiomic view of biology is yielding important insights into cancer, ageing, and neurological disease, and is poised to revolutionise how we understand health and disease beyond canonical variation in DNA.
biomodal is an omics-based life sciences technology and analytics company, delivering products that bring the dynamism of our ever-changing biology into focus. Our team is dedicated to developing the most advanced solutions to interrogate and understand the complex interplay of genomics and epigenomics.
We have launched our first products, the duet +modC and duet evoC solutions, with more in the pipeline, and are looking to grow and evolve our business accordingly. This is an incredible opportunity to step into an exciting, early-stage company at the cutting edge of science with exceptional growth and market impact potential.
Multiomics is the future – come and join the biomodal team!
The Team
Do you want a role that will allow you to be responsible for both the creation and delivery of your code to the cloud?
You'll be joining a dynamic Software and DevOps team dedicated to delivering high-performance omics analysis software. The team works closely with researchers and bioinformaticians to build scalable, secure, and user-friendly platforms that accelerate scientific discovery. Collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning are at the heart of how we work.
The Role
In this hybrid role, you'll lead the design and development of backend and middle-tier systems that support high-throughput scientific workflows. You'll work with cutting-edge cloud technologies, collaborate with wet-lab scientists, and build tools that make complex research intuitive and accessible. From automation pipelines to secure data environments, your work will directly impact how science gets done.
- Architect and implement scalable backend services and APIs for data-intensive applications.
- Build middleware that integrates cloud services with platforms like Benchling, BaseSpace, and Seqera.
- Write clean, efficient code in Go, Python, and Bash, and contribute to shared codebases.
- Manage cloud infrastructure across GCP, AWS, and Azure, including IAM and cloud-native services.
- Mentor junior engineers and foster best practices in software development and DevOps.
- Develop bespoke automation pipelines to streamline bioinformatics workflows and data handling.
- Collaborate with scientists and stakeholders to translate research needs into technical solutions.
- Maintain and optimize compute environments for performance and cost-efficiency.
- Ensure compliance with data protection standards such as HIPAA and GDPR.
The Person
The idea candidate will be an individual that enjoys both the creation and delivery of robust software and would like a role that allows them to do both in a highly agile environment. We are looking for an experienced individual that will not only take ownership of their own work but will also be able to engage laterally through a highly diverse biotechnology business to deliver multi-disciplinary projects.
Some key attributes would be:
- Strong experience in backend and middle-tier software development.
- Hands-on expertise with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS), CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
- Proficiency in Go, Python, and Bash; experience with RESTful APIs and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with monitoring tools, secrets management, and database technologies (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, BigQuery).
- Excellent problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset.
Some "nice to haves would" be:
- Security & Compliance - Understanding of HIPAA, GDPR, and secure cloud practices.
- Experience with high-performance computing environments (HPC).
- Experience mentoring junior engineers.
- Contributions to open-source projects.
- Background in biotech, life sciences or bioinformatics.
- Familiarity with bioinformatics platforms such as Benchling, BaseSpace, and Seqera.
- Experience with Nextflow and workflow orchestration
