Sr. Bioinformatics Engineer

Team Summary

Our platform manages over 125 petabytes of data processes 50 billion records and handles 3 billion API calls monthly. With thousands of users depending on us there is a clear imperative to leverage powerful frontier LLM models and execute on DNAnexus Agentic Platform. The platform enables agent-based systems to provide clinical and molecular data workflows in a highly scalable and regulated (PHI) environment. The goal is to enable more intelligent automated and reliable execution of complex scientific data processes in the cloud.

Were Looking For

• A strong background in bioinformatics computational biology or a related scientific field. Candidates who can help us nurture this knowledge within the team.
• Extensive experience with large-scale data processing and analysis pipelines (e.g. WES WGS RNA-Seq).
• Experience developing and integrating with LLMs RAG systems or other agentic frameworks for scientific data workflows is highly desirable.
• Proficiency with relevant bioinformatics tools and databases we will integrate this to Agentic pipelines

Responsibilities

• Design develop and deploy core components of the DNAnexus Agentic Platform focusing on robust scalable and secure systems for genomic and multi-omic data analysis.
• Integrate advanced LLM capabilities and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems to create intelligent automated and auditable scientific workflows.
• Collaborate with bioinformatics scientists and product managers to translate complex biological research needs into high-quality software solutions.
• Share bioinformatics knowledge within the team of engineers
• Stay current with the latest advancements in AI LLMs and bioinformatics technology to drive platform innovation.

Qualifications :

• 5 years of professional experience in software development (preferably in Python) preferably in a bioinformatics or life science context.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams (scientists product managers engineers).
• Prior experience or strong interest in AI/ML particularly integrating LLMs RAG or other agentic systems into production workflows is a significant advantage.
