There is ample opportunity to explore the contemporary computing environment available at the Sanger Institute, including a Linux compute farm, flexible compute system (hosted by internal cloud infrastructure) providing interested developers with Dev Ops experience. We use advanced GPU devices as well as the usual desktop systems and open source developer tools.

We work in a team-oriented manner taking the best from Agile practices as we deliver and maintain software in short iterations while maintaining frequent conversations with users. We aren’t afraid of rapid change in our tools to keep up with fast-paced evolution of research protocols.

You should expect your essential programming skills to be tested during the interview process. The interview will focus to some extent on discussion of your coding tests.

Essential Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in computer related sciences or equivalent experience
  • Evidence of competence in a modern scripting language based on C-style syntax using a relational database
  • Ability to design and run database queries in SQL
  • Full stack Web development

  • Ability to prioritise tasks to ensure the right things can be done at the right time
  • Highly developed problem-solving skills

Ideal Skills

  • Programming in Modern Perl
  • Some experience with JavaScript programming
  • Experience and understanding of bioinformatics and familiarity with genome data
  • Evidence of having successfully created interfaces that link with and enable extraction/reporting/display of data from large, complex databases into a web environment
