What you will do

The Bioinformatician – NGS (Data Standardization & Platform Integration) will support Large Molecule Discovery by standardizing, validating, and scaling NGS data workflows so sequencing outputs can be reliably reused across research programs and enterprise platforms. This role will focus on making NGS pipelines reproducible, efficient, and ready for integration into existing data systems and downstream analytics.

Working closely with bioinformatics principal scientists, data scientists, software engineers, and laboratory scientists, this individual will help ensure sequencing data is well structured, consistent, and suitable for broader use in analytics, machine learning, and platform-enabled research. The role combines workflow optimization, data standardization, and platform integration, and is well suited for someone who enjoys building robust computational systems that improve scale, consistency, and reuse.

In this role, your core responsibilities include:

• Standardize, validate, and optimize NGS workflows to support reproducible and scalable sequencing analysis across research programs and data analysis pipelines.

• Improve pipeline performance, including runtime, memory efficiency, operational reliability, and consistency of outputs.

• Support development of NGS data models, metadata standards, and structured output formats to ensure sequencing information is captured and stored appropriately for downstream use in the database/CDL and broader informatics ecosystem.
