Bioinformatics Researcher II

We are looking for a highly motivated Bioinformatics Researcher II to join our team!

As a Bioinformatics Researcher, you will design and execute analyses on Ultima sequencing data. You will join our R&D team in Israel to develop computational methods and scalable pipelines that turn raw data into clear biological insights, working at the intersection of biology, computing, and AI. 

 How You’ll Contribute

• Build and run pipelines: Design and execute analysis pipelines on sequencing data in a cloud-based environment
• Work across teams: Collaborate with lab scientists, bioinformatic scientists, data scientists, and clinical partners to define requirements, provide analysis support, and influence the direction of our scientific platform
• Develop and adapt methods: Create new algorithms and apply state-of-the-art approaches to turn high-throughput data into biological insights
• Ensure rigor: Use quantitative and computational methods to validate results and strengthen the impact of our findings

 Qualifications, Skills, Knowledge & Abilities

• MS or PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or a related discipline
• 3+ years of relevant industry or academic experience in a hands-on bioinformatics role preferred
• Demonstrated experience analyzing and interpreting large-scale Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) datasets such as WGS, WES, and RNA-seq
• Expert proficiency in Python for complex data analysis and proficiency in UNIX
• A strong foundation in statistics and quantitative analyses
• Proficiency with software development best practices including  version control with Git, containerization with Docker, and unit testing
• Deep expertise in a specific area of genomics, such as somatic variant calling, structural variation, or single-cell analysis
• Hands-on experience deploying and managing bioinformatics workflows in a cloud environment (AWS/GCP) using tools such as  WDL, Nextflow or Snakemake
