Bioinformatics Developer

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 Bioinformatics Developer to join our Professional Services team and deliver impactful, data-driven solutions to life sciences clients. This hybrid role blends hands-on scientific development, bioinformatics expertise, and systems integration work — helping research teams organize, analyze, and operationalize their omics data using our platform.

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 :

• Scope and lead bioinformatics projects.
• Understand client needs and define project approaches, milestones, and outcomes across omics domains.
• Process, curate, and harmonize omics data.
• Design and implement integrations between our platform and external systems (cloud and on-prem storage, pipeline execution engines, and analytical platforms).
• Build and maintain bioinformatics connectors and pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and metadata normalization of structured and semi-structured data.
• Develop custom analytical and visualization tools using Python or R to support client-specific reporting and exploration.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, product managers, and customer success, to ensure seamless client delivery and continuous improvement.
• Translate technical insights into clear communication artifacts, including client documentation, training materials, and onboarding demos.
• Provide pre-sales and onboarding support, assisting with technical scoping, trial integrations, and early proof-of-value delivery.

We would like you to have :

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related scientific / technical field.
• Strong experience managing and delivering bioinformatics projects, ideally in a services or consulting environment.
• Proficiency in Python or R, with an emphasis on reproducible scientific code, APIs, and automation scripts.
• Working knowledge of data integration, including protocols (e.g., HTTPS, S3, REST APIs), file formats (e.g., JSON, YAML, TSV), and data validation.
• Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and pipelines (e.g., RNA-seq, variant calling, multi-omics integration).
• Experience with data visualization frameworks, including Dash, Shiny, Plotly, or matplotlib.
• Ability to manage multiple projects in parallel, balancing short-term delivery and long-term architectural thinking.
• Excellent communication skills in English, with experience presenting technical work to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

It would be nice for you to have :

• Experience building custom connectors, ETL pipelines, or integrations across client infrastructures and cloud systems.
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools like Nextflow, Airflow, etc.
• Hands-on experience with cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure), including secure access, bucket management, and environment provisioning.
• Exposure to Java, Kotlin, or other JVM-based languages for backend system integration.
• Domain experience in oncology, immunology, single-cell, microbiome, or other therapeutic areas and molecular data technologies.

We offer you :

• international team of professionals;
• fully paid sick leaves;
• onboarding and domain training for newcomers;
