Department: | Immunology IT and Software Development |
Software Engineer I – IT and Software Development - Immunology
The mission of the Allen Institute is to unlock the complexities of bioscience and advance our knowledge to improve human health. Using an open science, multi-scale, team-oriented approach, the Allen Institute focuses on accelerating foundational research, developing standards and models, and cultivating new ideas to make a broad, transformational impact on science.
The mission of the Allen Institute for Immunology is to advance the fundamental understanding of human immunology through the study of immune health and diseases where excessive or impaired immune responses drive pathological processes. The Institute will employ a multi-disciplinary team approach in collaboration with academic centers of human immunology to generate novel mechanistic insights into the immune synapse in health and in diseases such as autoimmunity or oncology. The Institute will simultaneously provide a foundational data set and tools for future immunological research as well as a novel collaboration portal for the broader scientific community.
We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic Software Engineer to join the Allen Institute for Immunology’s software engineering team. You will be involved in all areas of development from design to development to testing. You will be working with other engineers to develop cloud-based solutions involving front-end and back-end components. You will be jointly responsible for defining requirements, creating prototypes, implementing great solutions, testing your code, and working with scientists and computational biologists to incorporate user feedback as part of the iterative development cycle. This is a customer facing position providing an exceptional experience to our collaborators for a cloud-based research platform used by scientists and computational biologists to gather, analyze, interpret, and share findings. The Software Engineer is curious about immunology and life sciences research and enjoys learning new scientific analysis techniques.
The Allen Institute believes that team science significantly benefits from the participation of diverse voices, experiences and backgrounds. High-quality science can only be produced when it includes different perspectives. We are committed to increasing diversity across every team and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this role.
