We are seeking a collaborative and curious Senior Software Developer to craft applications that deliver globally significant research at scale.
You will have an opportunity to support large teams of scientists at one of the world’s leading research institutes. We help deliver extraordinary improvements in human health and have recently built pipelines to sequence 50,000+ Covid 19 samples each week.
About the role:
You will design, develop, maintain and provide support for specific software applications and services which are used by laboratory and faculty groups. They are expected to optimise for software availability, data integrity and confidentiality which will involve incremental improvements, data curation and bug fixing. It would be expected that roles at all levels are responsible for documenting their design, tests and other resources to enable ease of reuse and reduce duplication of work.
You will work as part of a supportive, diverse and friendly team of Senior and Junior Developers. You will regularly use pairing and occasional mobbing to analyse and solve problems.
You will use and learn diverse technologies including: Ruby on Rails, JavaScript (React & Vue), Java (Spring Boot), Python (Flask) and SQL.
And you will have the opportunity to craft enterprise technical solutions with cloud, web and message bus technologies (OpenStack, Docker, GraphQL and RabbitMQ) in an open source culture (https://github.com/sanger).
About you:
You will learn and deploy best practice programming and testing techniques using appropriate tools and languages. The team operates a Scrum approach to development with a team-centric mentality. You’ll be coached and trained by your fellow developers on ways to develop your skills going forward.
You will grow a knowledge of Python and JavaScript, which are applied in various contexts across our products. An essential part of the role is to develop an understanding of each of the systems’ architecture, data schema and tools.
However, no previous experience in the aforementioned languages is required. Your desire to learn and adapt in our fast-changing scientific environment is critical.
You do not need a background in science, but you do need a curious mind to work closely with our end users, understand their needs and maximise the value of the solutions we deliver.

We use the Scrum framework with certified Product Owners and Scrum Masters. We aim to enable team autonomy and learn from failure and success.
We provide opportunities for you to professional grown and develop through a generous dedicated training budget. We provide space for you to explore your long-term opportunities through our trained coaches and mentors program.
