Help us change lives
At Exact Sciences, we’re helping change how the world prevents, detects and guides treatment for cancer. We give patients and clinicians the clarity needed to make confident decisions when they matter most. Join our team to find a purpose-driven career, an inclusive culture, and robust benefits to support your life while you’re working to help others.
Position Overview
The Staff Bioinformatics Engineer is largely self-driven, working in collaboration with others on one or more projects which are extremely complex in scope. This role is responsible for successfully leading the planning and execution of projects. Working in a team setting, this role will contribute to the design and implementation of new software solutions to process and interpret Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data for the purpose of cancer diagnostics. This position will be involved in producing software to orchestrate and execute analysis workflows as well as building new bioinformatics tools that operate directly on scientific data. Leveraging the latest data platforms and technologies together we will build cloud-based solutions ready for a production environment.
We are seeking candidates with a strong focus on quality throughout their work and who place high value on peer review, software testing and documentation. The successful candidate will join a geographically distributed team of highly motivated bioinformaticians and developers at the forefront of cancer diagnostics and be required to collaborate closely with scientists, IT and others create solutions to meet the underlying need. During recruitment we prioritise talent over experience with specific technologies and will provide opportunities to learn and experiment with any technology that is new to the successful candidate. The Staff Bioinformatics Engineer helps develop the timeline and plan for new assignments/projects. As a technical expert with deep knowledge and thorough understanding of the bioinformatics engineering, this role provides technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers in the Bioinformatics group.
This position is hybrid and based in our Oxford office (OX4 2JY).
