Requirements
- What do you bring to the table?
- Must have
- 12+ years in software engineering, including several years leading multi-team organizations through managers.
- Distributed-systems and platform architecture ownership at scale — multi-tenant isolation, service decomposition, and the judgment to reduce complexity.
- Domain depth in scientific or biomedical data platforms — genomics, bioinformatics, life sciences, or comparable data-intensive, workflow-driven scientific computing.
- Delivery inside a regulatory boundary such as FedRAMP, HIPAA, ISO 13485, or GxP.
- Reliability and modern delivery engineering: SLOs, error budgets, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD with policy-as-code and progressive rollout.
- Production AI/LLM capability shipped under a compliance regime, or AI-assisted engineering you landed, governed and measured — beyond pilots.
- A track record of setting technical vision for a platform and carrying an organization there.
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to have
- CWL/WDL/Nextflow, GA4GH standards (DRS/WES), FHIR or OMOP.
- Federated or cross-institutional data access at scale — bringing analysis to data held by someone else.
- Federal program delivery and artifact literacy — authorization packages, significant-change requests, and corrective-action plans.
- Architecture depth in inference topology: hosting trade-offs, retrieval that inherits per-tenant authorization, evaluation harnesses, and guardrails.
- Shipping reusable product capability out of grant- or program-funded work.
- Competences
- Vision
- The ability to step back from the daily routine, explore ideas for the future, and see the platform in a broader context and in the longer term.
- articulates where the platform must be in three years, and why
- combines scientific, regulatory, and technology trends into one coherent direction
- spots opportunities for the platform early and acts on them
- Technical Depth
- Personal command of the technology the platform is built on, enough to shape and challenge its biggest decisions.
- reads code, designs, and test results first-hand rather than relying on summaries
- changes a team’s technical direction with evidence rather than authority
- is treated as a peer by senior engineers in design review
- Managing
- The ability to lead and develop others so they perform at their best — setting direction, providing the means, and holding the bar.
- builds a management layer capable of running delivery without them, then holds it accountable
- makes hiring and performance decisions promptly and explains them plainly
- builds confidence and momentum and creates a thriving team environment
- Focus on Quality
- Setting high standards and treating quality, security, and compliance as design constraints rather than gates to be cleared.
- designs for auditability, traceability, and reproducibility from the outset
- converts recurring incidents into architectural and process change
- declines shortcuts that would trade a compliance position for a delivery date
- Decision Quality Under Ambiguity
- The ability to make timely, defensible decisions on incomplete information, and to revisit them when the evidence changes.
- commits to a sequence when the data is partial, and states what would change their mind
- separates reversible from irreversible decisions and spends attention accordingly
- records the reasoning as well as the outcome
