• A minimum of 7+ years of industry experience in ontology development and management, particularly in biotechnology or life sciences.
• Proficiency in ontology languages (e.g., Protégé), ontology query language (SPARQL, cypher, SQL, GQL), and some familiarity with relevant programming languages (e.g., Python).
• Familiarity with ontology reasoning tools, particularly in the biology domain (e.g., li>)
• Experience with applying these tools for tasks like classification and consistency checking in biomedical ontologies.

The estimated salary for this role is $120,000 - $160,000 per year, depending on experience. In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a robust vacation policy, comprehensive health and dental benefits, and a generous parental leave package.
