Software Engineer – Bioinformatics Pipelines

OVERVIEW

OnTrac is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Software Engineer (Bioinformatics Pipelines) to join a contractor program supporting a critical customer engagement: the genomics unit of a healthcare customer, which requires a temporary software engineer on its pipeline teams for the next 12 to 18 months. The need is driven by a short-term increase in workload from an organization-wide transition of the Laboratory Information System (LIS) from Soft to Epic Beaker.

This role is ideal for a software engineer with a strong background in bioinformatics who can integrate into an established pipeline team quickly and begin contributing with limited ramp-up. It is not suited to a biologist with some programming skills; the work centers on the engineering of the pipelines (software quality, performance, automation, and operational support) rather than on scientific discovery. The successful candidate will work closely with the delivery team and customer stakeholders, including the customer's dedicated bioinformatics team, to ensure project success from initial definition through final delivery.
