Oxford Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Oxford Nanopore Technologies Full time

Oxford Nanopore Technologies is headquartered at the Oxford Science Park outside Oxford, UK, with satellite offices and a commercial presence in many global locations across the US, APAC and Europe.

Oxford Nanopore employs from multiple subject areas including nanopore science, molecular biology and applications, informatics, engineering, electronics, manufacturing and commercialisation. The management team, led by CEO Dr Gordon Sanghera, has a track record of delivering disruptive technologies to the market.

Oxford Nanopore's sequencing platform is the only technology that offers real-time analysis, in fully scalable formats from pocket to population scale, that can analyse native DNA or RNA and sequence any length of fragment to achieve short to ultra-long read lengths. Our goal is to enable the analysis of any living thing, by anyone, anywhere

Along with 3 other software engineers in the Manufacturing Tracking (MT) team, you will optimise ONT's systems for driving manufacturing processes and for collecting device telemetry data for analysis. Please note that this role is mostly working from home, but we meet in the office to plan the upcoming sprint on the Monday at the start of each sprint.

The Details…

About the Manufacturing Tracking team

Our mission is to optimise manufacturing efficiency and reliable capture of device telemetry across ONT .

Our team has four experienced software engineers (including this position), and sits within the Operational Systems Engineering department in Global IT. We also collaborate with data engineers and software engineers from across the business.

We build several systems to fulfil our mission, most importantly:

  • Sawtooth suite : Three Django/Flask/React applications for manufacturing operators to track their manufacturing sessions
  • Orca : A highly-available Flask API for receiving telemetry data from all our genetic sequencing devices across the world
  • Equipment Management Registry : A Django application for tracking the maintenance of equipment
  • End to End Data Transfer : A batch processing system for receiving and importing data from third party suppliers

What We're Looking For…

At a minimum, this role requires significant experience of server-side programming and fluency with collaborating on code in a Git-based hosting platform .

Beyond that, we are generally looking for candidates who are well suited to carry out the following key responsibilities of this role:

  • Efficiently develop & deliver improvements to our systems to support business needs:
    • Develop our Python- and React-based webapps and API services through GitLab merge requests
    • Maintain and improve the MySQL database data, schemas and structures
    • Evolve the GitLab deployment pipelines, Kubernetes manifests and AWS resources
    • Provide second-line support for our systems, working directly with our internal user base
    • Design careful and targeted solutions to important business problems
    • Suggest and drive efficiency improvements by writing tests, optimising repository settings and introducing metrics & dashboards
  • Improve our team's spirit, sense of purpose and efficiency:
    • Uphold and enhance our team values, standards and practices
    • Define, estimate, prioritise and track work in prioritisation meetings and beyond
    • Create and manage clear, informative Jira tickets to track agreed work
    • Improve our team documentation, working practices and code standards
    • Engage in team retrospectives to drive further improvements
    • Collaboratively enhance code quality through code reviews
  • Engage with diverse stakeholders from across the organisation to define targeted improvements to meetONT's strategic goals:
    • Drive requirements-gathering meetings and important discussions in Slack and Jira
    • Lead initiatives from kick-off to delivery

Technologies we use

We make use of the following technologies and services:

Managing work: Jira; Confluence; Slack

Languages: Python; JavaScript; Typescript

Frameworks: Django; Flask; React

Databases: MySQL; MongoDB Atlas

Pipeline tools: Gitlab repositories, merge requests & CI pipelines; Kubernetes manifests, Kustomize & kubectl

AWS infrastructure: Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances; Lambdas; Elastic Kuberneres Service (EKS); Elastic Container Registry (ECR); Simple Storage Services (S3); Elastic File System (EFS); Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking and security groups

While experience in these technologies is helpful, they are not all required for the role. We care more about your ability to perform the role's responsibilities than your expertise in specific technologies.

What we offer…..

We offer outstanding benefits to include an attractive bonus, generous pension contributions, private healthcare and an excellent starting salary. Based within beautiful, landscaped surroundings with tree-lined walks, water features and a lake, all of which make for a wonderful working environment.
