Job Level
About the role
- Lead the hands-on technical development of Genomenon’s clinical genetics software, including commercial applications (UI, APIs, and data deliverables) and internal tools supporting genetic curation
- Act as a senior individual contributor and technical lead, spending a significant portion of time writing, reviewing, and shipping production code
- Serve as the technical lead partner to Product, collaborating on strategic vision, functional requirements, roadmap definition, and sprint planning
- Manage and mentor a small, high-impact engineering team (approximately 3 developers), with a focus on technical growth, code quality, and delivery rather than people administration
- Design, implement, and review performant, maintainable user interfaces with a strong emphasis on modern UI engineering using React
- Build and maintain backend services and APIs using Python and GO, supporting both user-facing applications and downstream data workflows
- Develop and maintain CLI scripts, internal tools, and lightweight automation workflows to support engineering, data, and clinical operations
- Contribute to system architecture and design decisions as platforms evolve to incorporate AI-derived data, new APIs, and scalable backend services
- Establish and reinforce best practices around code quality, testing, documentation, and operational reliability across frontend and backend systems
- Balance near-term delivery with long-term technical strategy, proactively identifying opportunities to reduce technical debt and improve scalability
- Collaborate closely with data science, clinical curation, DevOps, and product stakeholders to ensure solutions are robust, practical, and well understood
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field; advanced degrees are a plus
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with recent, hands-on development as a core part of your role
- Demonstrated experience as a full stack engineer, with strong depth in frontend development and solid backend expertise
- Strong UI engineering foundation, including extensive experience building modern web applications with React and related frontend technologies
- Proficiency in Python and GO for API development, business logic, and data integration
- Experience writing CLI tools, scripts, and basic automation workflows to improve developer productivity and operational efficiency
- Experience building and supporting API-driven systems that serve UI applications and downstream data consumers
- Solid understanding of data modeling, schema design, and complex domain-driven systems
- Prior experience mentoring engineers or acting as a tech lead, with limited but meaningful people management responsibilities
- Strong system design skills, with experience evolving or modernizing existing software platforms
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with comfort working closely with Product and cross-functional stakeholders
- Commitment to writing high-quality, well-tested, maintainable software.
Benefits
- Our work has real, measurable impact.
- Genomenon’s platforms and services are used by hundreds of clinical laboratories, healthcare organizations, and life sciences teams and pharma companies to support diagnostic interpretation, variant curation, and evidence-based decision-making and drug development.
