- Define and promote best-practices for ONT's clinical analysis software
- Liaise with colleagues within R&D groups within ONT and OND to bring prototype workflows to a clinical product
- Advise on best practice clinical bioinformatics analysis in the areas of cancer, rare, and infectious disease
- Liaise with external partners to facilitate deployment of third part analysis solutions
- Maintain knowledge of external advances in the field of long-read data analysis and the requirements of end-users as determined by various ONT's customer facing staff
- Take ownership of newly identified workflows and work with others within the group to determine how best to present these to end users
- Consolidate disparate codebases into reusable unified components
- Maintain continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) of analysis tools and workflows, enlisting and leveraging the assistance of others

What we expect you to have...

An MSc (or equiv experience) involving programming in high-level language.

Multiple years experience in software development practices. Along with familiarity in long-read sequencing data analysis and experience building scientific data analysis pipelines
