Cytoscape Cyberinfrastructure Developer at UC San Diego Health (San Diego, CA)

The Cytoscape Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Developer is an exciting, senior position in computational and systems biology where you will build software tools and infrastructure to help scientists use networks in biological research. Our publicly distributed, open-source software is used by researchers around the world in both academia and industry, both in basic research and in the translation of research to the clinic. In our own lab, we closely collaborate with world class researchers, supporting their work and helping them bring their software to a wider audience.


We work with a broad range of software in multiple projects, so we are looking for an experienced and versatile software engineer who can bring many skills to our team and then learn more. We support the widely used Cytoscape desktop application (cytoscape.org), the NDEx (Network Data Exchange) site, and a new generation of web applications and containerized services. We work in Java, JavaScript, Angular, React, Python, R, Docker, Apache, PostgreSQL, and whatever else gets the job done. The CI developer must be able to contribute to (and sometimes drive) projects from requirements gathering, to design, to implementation, and to testing and release.


This is a chance to work in an academic setting where your work will be freely distributed to a broad community of users while working closely with the members of our lab and with our collaborators. The CI developer is first and foremost a highly capable software professional, but experience in a research setting, biology, statistics or machine learning would be a plus.
