Senior Sapio LIMS Developer

Greetings from Buxton Consulting!!

Please go through the requirements below with our client and let me know your availability to apply for the job. Thanks in advance

Job Title: Senior Sapio LIMS Developer
Company: Buxton Consulting
Location: Remote - US

Role Overview

·       We are seeking a Senior Sapio Developer to help us evolve our Sapio platform in support of company growth and the consequential increase in laboratory throughput. This role is not about starting from scratch; it is about building on and optimizing an existing ecosystem. You will inherit a development backlog and partner with IT and the business to prioritize enhancements, troubleshoot Velox rules, and ensure digital infrastructure keeps pace with clinical innovation.

Key Responsibilities

·       Backlog Execution: Transform a prioritized backlog of business requirements into production-ready features within the Sapio Velox framework.

·       System Optimization: Conduct deep-dive audits of existing Java plugins and Python scripts to improve system latency and user experience.

·       Workflow Refinement: Partner with Lab Operations to optimize existing diagnostic workflows and reduce manual data entry.

·       Integration Maintenance: Manage and expand integrations between Sapio and diagnostic instruments, EMRs, and other downstream systems.

·       Release Management: Own the CI/CD pipeline for the LIMS, ensuring that updates are validated and deployed with the goal of zero disruption to clinical testing.

·       Technical Documentation: Reverse-engineer and document undocumented "Day 1" configurations to ensure long-term system maintainability.

Technical Qualifications

·       Platform Expertise: 2+ years of direct experience configuring Sapio Sciences (Velox). Must be comfortable with Form Designer, Workflow Architect, and Rule Logic.

·       Software Engineering: Strong proficiency in Java (for plugin development) and Python/SQL.

·       API Mastery: Proven experience working with RESTful APIs to connect LIMS with external diagnostic ecosystems.

·       Diagnostics Background: Experience in a regulated lab environment (CLIA, CAP, HIPAA, or GxP). You understand why validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) is non-negotiable.

·       Agile Mindset: Experience working in a sprint-based environment where you can estimate effort accurately and hit deadlines.

Great to Have:

·       Experience with Mirth and the HL7 framework and standards.

Why this role: 

·       Our client is a midcap diagnostic company.  Fresh off recent funding, they’re investing not cutting.  You’ll have the opportunity to be a key technical player in supporting their accelerated growth, giving you both an opportunity to work hands-on with the Lab and the Sapio system but also contribute strategically in terms of how to optimize, standardize and accelerate the launch of new products and partnerships and customers.
