* Production Support: Collaborate with wet-lab operations to troubleshoot processing issues and manage incident response for production environments
* Process Engineering: Drive best practices in CI/CD, workflow orchestration, and system health monitoring to ensure "always-on" availability
* Compliance & Data Integrity: Maintain robust documentation for regulatory audits and ensure secure, compliant archival of sensitive genomic data
* Strategic Alignment: Partner with peer managers to standardize operational frameworks and support the rollout of new diagnostic products
* Professional Development: Implement training modules and competency assessments to upskill the technical team
REQUIREMENTS:
* Experience: 7+ years in bioinformatics, computational biology, or software engineering within a production environment
* Technical Stack: Proficiency in Python, R, Shell scripting, SQL, and cloud architecture (AWS preferred)
* Domain Expertise: Hands-on experience with secondary analysis tools (aligners, variant callers) and clinical interpretation workflows
* Leadership: Proven track record of managing technical teams and delivering "clinical-grade" software solutions
* Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with high-complexity laboratory environments (e.g., CAP/CLIA or similar quality frameworks)
* Communication: Ability to translate complex technical challenges into actionable strategy for non-technical stakeholders
Preferred Experience:
* Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in a relevant computational field
* Experience integrating with LIMS or third-party variant interpretation platforms
* Familiarity with Agile methodologies and managing distributed or international teams
