Software Developer

Berkeley Lab - California - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab ( )'s has an opening for a Software Developer to join the team. In this exciting role the Software Developer will help build applications and frameworks supporting a variety of high-profile bioinformatics projects. The Software Developer will contribute to a variety of critical NIH and DOE projects, including the Gene Ontology (GO), the Monarch Initiative, the National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC), and the Center for Cancer Data Harmonization (CCDH). As a Software Developer in our group, you will develop and maintain robust software for the creation, management, and utilization of ontologies and knowledge graphs for applications in systems biology, human health, and environmental microbiology. Working as part of a distributed team, you will develop systems for interacting with databases (primarily graph/RDF databases), supporting curation interfaces, and workflow systems for integrating data from a variety of heterogeneous sources. This position involves interacting with users (including a range of biomedical scientists and biocurators). This position will be hired at a level 2 or 3 contingent upon level of experience, skills, knowledge, and abilities of the successful candidate. What You Will Do: Develop and maintain software for integrating biological data using ontologies. Maintain and extend extract, transformation, and load pipelines. Develop and maintain Python codebase for ontology-based data access. In addition to the above, Specific Responsibilities for a Level 3: Perform requirements analysis and work with product owners on software specifications. Provide technical assistance and training to collaborators at other sites. Serve as a key contributor to troubleshoot and solve highly technical, complex problems and provide direction for the project. What is Required for a Level 2: Bachelor's Degree and/or equivalent experience in computer science, bioinformatics, or related field and a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience, or Master's Degree and a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience Experience with one or more forms of database management system (relational, graph, document). Experience with the Python programming language. Experience with modern devops workflows and implementations. Experience with the maintenance and tuning of common software stacks. Excellent software engineering skills. Ability to work effectively both independently and in a diverse team environment. In addition to the above, Required Qualifications for Level 3: Minimum of 8 years of relevant experience with a Bachelor's Degree or 6 years with a Master's. Experience with one or more data modeling frameworks (e.g. UML, JSON-Schema, Biolinkml) Experience with full stack development. Desired Qualifications for both levels: Knowledge of ontology and knowledge engineering frameworks, APIs, languages, and techniques (e.g., OWLAPI, Jena, SPARQL). Experience modeling and working with complex data (ideally biological). Expertise with graph or RDF databases. Experience with systems architecture, operations, deployment, and security. Understanding of and experience with open source software and open science. Notes: This is a full-time 2 year, term appointment with the possibility of extension or conversion to Career appointment based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs.
