    scientific applications, within a microservice architecture

  • Integration of complex bioinformatics data, implementation of
    specialised algorithms for search/data analysis and use of AI tools

  • Design and implementation of cloud-ready deployments using
    containerization and modern cloud technologies

  • Analysis, refactoring and adaptation of legacy code to conform to
    new architecture designs

  • Debugging, testing, troubleshooting

    Qualifications:
    
  • PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Biochemistry,
    Bioinformatics, or a related discipline, or a comparable combination
    of education and experience developing modern scientific data
    applications

  • Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills

  • Experience with Python, document databases (e.g., MongoDB), search
    and data access tools (e.g., ElasticSearch and GraphQL)

Scientific background in any of the following areas would be considered

and transformation, and the presentation and visualization of data using
complex interactive graphical user interfaces. An important aspect is to
provide users with the ability to search and explore the PDB data
archive. Solutions are implemented using a wide range of components
developed and maintained in-house, in addition to third-party tools,
libraries, frameworks and technologies. The candidate should be
comfortable working in a dynamic environment, and able to demonstrate an
ability to think creatively, generate new ideas, and implement
solutions. The candidate should also show an eagerness to learn new
skills and technologies.
