Job Description

Responsibilities:

• Excellent employment opportunity for a Bioinformatics Software Engineer in the Foster City, CA area.
• Seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatics Software Engineer to contribute to the development of a next-generation computational platform for antibody-based therapeutic design and assessment.
• This contractor role will focus on building scalable infrastructure for molecular modeling, developability assessment, and interactive data visualization.
• The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in backend development, web interface design, database architecture, and pipeline automation.
• Design and implement a scalable, web-based interface for antibody and multispecific modeling workflows.
• Develop and optimize database schemas to manage molecular modeling data and associated metadata.
• Build and maintain FastAPI-based backend services to support computational pipelines.
• Integrate molecular modeling tools (e.g., MOE, Schrödinger) into automated workflows.
• Collaborate closely with scientists and data science team to translate research needs into robust software solutions.
• Ensure code quality through modular design, thorough documentation, and maintainability.
• Support platform deployment and testing in cloud-based environments

Experience:

• Master’s or PhD degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Physics, or a related field with 2-3 years of experience
• Strong front-end development skills (e.g., React, JavaScript, HTML/CSS).
