Software Engineer, Data Integration (Imaging Institute)

The OpportunityTo accomplish our mission, we need to develop a dynamic, integrated view of biological systems in health and disease. As an extension of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative’s Imaging Program, the CZ Imaging Institute aims to push forward the development and application of new imaging technologies over the next 15 years to obtain deep insights into the architecture of complex biological systems at the molecular level.The CZ Imaging Institute will create breakthrough technologies — hardware, software, biological probes, data, and platforms — that will be made available to the scientific community and adopted worldwide through a combination of direct access to the institute, open sharing of advances, and commercial partnerships. Researchers will collaboratively develop breakthrough biological imaging systems centered around grand challenges that push the boundaries of what we can see and measure.The Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute is seeking an experienced Software Engineer, Data Integration to work under a technology team leader and collaborate in developing software that supports automation of the workflow for high-end microscopic instruments. The role will involve close collaboration with researchers, scientists, and engineers developing novel approaches in cryoEM.What You/'ll DoPerform core development of in-house software that tracks sample preparation, data acquisition, visualization, and analysis workflow across multiple imaging modalities.Develop a user interface to the workflow.Develop curation tools for the deposition of such data into the CryoET Data Portal for community use.Identify and implement steps of the workflow suitable for AI teract with software and data engineers from other CZ Science efforts in integrating data from different modalities.What You/'ll BringBS in Computer Science or a comparable/relevant degree1-5 years of software development experience.Strong background in database design and architecture.Familiarity with requirements for integrating web-based viewers for large scientific or medical images.Well developed analytical observation and software optimization skills.Deep understanding of software engineering principles and design patterns and how to apply them.Excellent problem solving skills.Nice to haveDevelopment and optimization in high-performance computing (HPC) environments.Knowledge of image formats and streaming methods (e.g., TIFF, Zarr pyramids) for efficient web delivery.Experience collaborating cross-functionally with scientists.An interest in science and learning about biological imaging.Experience in open source projects.Diverse experience working with both desktop and web applications and understanding how they can interface with each pensationThe Redwood City, CA base pay range for this role is Software Engineer I = $96,000.00 - $132,000.00 and Software Engineer II = $116,000.00 - $160,000.00. New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. Actual placement in range is based on job-related skills and experience, as evaluated throughout the interview process.What We ProvideResources to collaboratively develop breakthrough biological imaging systems that push the boundaries of what we can see and measureAn environment where bold and creative thinking are the norm, and a collaborative culture allows teams from multiple disciplines to accomplish more than any single person can achieve aloneAccess to collaborators and resources at partner organizations in the CZ Biohub Network and beyondCompetitive compensation and benefits commensurate with experienceThe CZ Biohub Network is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity of thought, ideas and perspectives.
