  • Build an Intuitive Frontend: Create a modern, responsive, and state-of-the-art user interface for all applications, focusing on UI/UX best practices to make complex data and workflows understandable and easy to manage.
  • Engineer Data-Intensive Applications: Design the Phenotype Builder to interact with large-scale aggregate data, providing researchers with near-real-time feedback while maintaining strict privacy controls.
  • Manage the Full SDLC: Drive development using Agile sprint cycles, implement comprehensive automated testing, manage deployments through CI/CD pipelines across all environments, and own all four pillars of production maintenance (corrective, adaptive, perfective, and preventative).
  • Integrate and Collaborate: Work with platform vendors to define and test requirements for core “Dynamic Workspace” infrastructure, and manage core application databases for master lists of agreements, IRBs, and sites.

 

What You’ll Bring (Required Qualifications):

  • A passion for building high-quality, user-facing applications that solve complex, meaningful problems.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, with 8+ years of professional full-stack development experience.
  • Expert-level proficiency with a modern backend framework (e.g., Python-based like FastAPI or Node.js-based like NestJS).
  • Expert-level proficiency with a modern, component-based frontend framework (e.g., Angular, React, Vue, or Svelte).
  • Demonstrable experience building, scaling, and maintaining complex, secure web applications, especially those handling user authentication/authorization, multi-tenancy, and complex workflows.
  • Strong experience with SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and designing data models for application state and logging.
  • Deep knowledge of the full SDLC, including CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and Git.

 

What Sets You Apart (Preferred Qualifications):

  • Experience in the healthcare, life sciences, or clinical research domain.
  • Direct experience with OHDSI tools (especially Atlas) or building other cohort exploration or phenotype-building applications.
  • Familiarity with health data standards (e.g., OMOP, FHIR) and interoperability challenges.
  • Experience designing and building applications for a multi-tenant, cloud-native environment (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • A strong understanding of UI/UX design principles and a portfolio of intuitive applications.
