Senior Bioinformatics Scientist
Job Title: Senior Bioinformatics Scientist
Job Type: Permanent
Salary: $170,000–$190,000 USD per year + bonus
Role Location: San Francisco, CA (hybrid role)
Visa Requirements: No sponsorship provided.
The Company Our client is an emerging leader within biotechnology, headquartered in San Francisco, CA. Their mission is to empower scientists worldwide by accelerating biotech research through innovative DNA sequencing and analysis tools. Every day, thousands of innovators—from Nobel Prize winners to biotech startups—rely on their solutions to drive world‑changing discoveries in healthcare, sustainability, and beyond.
Role And Responsibilities
Design and optimize high‑performance bioinformatics pipelines for processing thousands of daily samples, leveraging tools like Snakemake and cloud deployments.
Innovate sequence analysis workflows for bulk/single‑cell RNAseq, differential gene expression, and large‑scale genomics, ensuring robust and scalable solutions.
Troubleshoot complex sequencing data challenges, from biological artifacts to platform‑specific issues, to ensure reliable outputs.
Develop intuitive web tools (e.g., Streamlit, R Shiny) and data visualizations to transform raw bioinformatics data into actionable insights.
Provide thought leadership and mentor junior team members, fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.
Stay ahead of industry trends, integrating emerging bioinformatics tools to enhance offerings for biopharma and research clients.
Job Requirements
PhD in Biological Sciences, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or related field, with 3+ years of experience developing production‑level bioinformatics pipelines.
Deep expertise in analyzing bulk/single‑cell RNAseq data and performing differential gene expression using state‑of‑the‑art tools.
Significant experience building production‑level Snakemake (or Nextflow) pipelines, with local and cloud‑based deployments.
Strong knowledge of sequence analysis (alignment, assembly) and molecular biology, with experience in Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing.
Proficiency in Python (numpy, pandas, Jupyter, Biopython) and package management (e.g., Conda).
Hands‑on experience with Docker, Apptainer, or Singularity for containerized workflows.
Expertise in Git/GitHub and Linux shell scripting for version control and automation.
Proficiency in developing intuitive web tools for bioinformatics reporting (e.g., R Shiny, Streamlit).
Familiarity with public genomic data repositories (e.g., NCBI, Ensembl) and large‑scale genomic data processing.
Strong communication skills and ability to write clean, maintainable, production‑ready code.
Preferred: Experience with compiled languages (C++, Rust); 1+ year of molecular biology wet‑lab experience; demonstrated ability to develop novel bioinformatics algorithms; strong interest in creating intuitive data visualizations for scientific insights.
Benefits
Competitive Compensation: Highly competitive remuneration.
Generous Time Off: 4 weeks paid time off + 10 paid holidays.
Comprehensive Health Coverage: Health, dental, and vision insurance, plus life insurance and mental health coverage.
Retirement and Wellness: 401(k) with matching, Health Advocate services, and gym membership.
Impactful Work: Contribute directly to accelerating biotech research, supporting novel therapies and sustainability.
Innovative Environment: Work with cutting‑edge tools (e.g., Snakemake, Streamlit, AWS) and collaborate with top‑tier researchers.
Supportive Culture: Join a passionate, inclusive team that values creativity, mentorship, and professional growth.
