Job description

At Genestack we are tackling the underlying computational and scientific challenges of bioinformatics in order to provide researchers with software tools that will streamline the discovery process and drive forward precision medicine, drug development, and bioinformatics research.

We’re looking for a Senior Bioinformatics Developer to lead delivery of robust omics data solutions across client projects and internal initiatives. This hybrid role spans pipeline development, scientific application delivery, and platform integration — with full ownership from scoping to deployment.

You’ll work closely with clients, product managers, and engineers to understand complex requirements and translate them into scalable, interoperable workflows. If you enjoy solving biological data challenges through a mix of analysis, automation, and architecture — this is your chance to make a difference in real-world R&D environments.

In this role, you will:

• Lead end-to-end delivery of client and internal bioinformatics projects.
  
• Design pipelines for omics data ingestion, harmonization, and QC.
  
• Build and deploy scientific applications (e.g., dashboards, APIs, reports).
  
• Develop reusable tools for data wrangling, integration, and visualization.
  
• Integrate cloud/on-prem systems (e.g., S3, Nextflow, REST APIs).
  
• Support pre-sales, onboarding, and trial delivery when needed.
• Collaborate across product, engineering, and customer-facing teams.

We would like you to have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related scientific/technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in delivering bioinformatics solutions in services or platform settings.
  
• Strong knowledge of Python or R; experience with reproducible workflows and APIs.
  
• Application development experience (e.g., Dash, Flask, Shiny).
  
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, workflow tools (Nextflow), and data protocols.
  
• Excellent communication skills in English and ability to operate across domains.
• Ability to balance delivery work with internal tooling contributions.

It would be nice for you to have:

• prior experience as a Team Lead on bioinformatic projects;
• experience wit cloud deployment (AWS, GCP, Azure);
  
• JVM-based integration experience (e.g., Java, Kotlin).

We offer you:

• international team of professionals;
• extended sick leave;
• onboarding and domain training for newcomers;
• flexible work schedule.
