Responsibilities

• Own the design and development of server‑side plugins, integrations and workflows on LIMS/ELN platforms (Sapio preferred) using Java and Python
• Architect and build AI/GenAI‑enabled solutions (LLM agents, RAG pipelines, prompt‑engineered workflows) to streamline R&D informatics processes
• Develop data pipelines and integrations between scientific instruments, LIMS/ELN systems and enterprise data platforms; own data modeling, transformation logic and data quality validation end‑to‑end
• Serve as technical lead on projects – defining technical approach, conducting code reviews and mentoring developers
• Partner with scientists, lab operations and product owners to translate scientific requirements into scalable technical solutions
• Evaluate and implement COTS platform capabilities (Sapio, Benchling, Dotmatics) to enhance out‑of‑the‑box functionality before custom development
• Design and develop REST APIs, webhooks and middleware to enable interoperability across R&D systems
• Apply a data‑first approach to problem‑solving – analyze scientific datasets, identify data quality issues, build dashboards and reporting solutions and translate data insights into actionable recommendations for scientific collaborators
• Contribute to platform modernization initiatives, including cloud migration and containerized deployments
• Ensure solutions meet GxP compliance requirements where applicable

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Life Sciences or related field
• 3+ years of software development experience supporting life sciences R&D or laboratory informatics
• Proficiency in Java (server‑side development, plugin architectures)
• Proficiency in Python (scripting, data pipelines, webhooks, automation)
• Experience with at least one LIMS or ELN platform – Sapio, Benchling or Dotmatics; experience with Sapio LIMS/ELN server‑side plugins, workflows, data model configuration is preferred
• Experience building LLM‑powered agents, prompt engineering, retrieval‑augmented generation or AI‑assisted workflow automation
• Experience with AI agent frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Claude/Anthropic APIs or OpenAI APIs preferred
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) is a plus
• Experience with instrument integrations (TetraScience or direct instrument interfaces) preferred
• Experience with data analytics and visualization tools (Spotfire, Tableau, Power BI, or Jupyter notebooks) to support data‑driven decision‑making is a plus
