Exciting Opportunity at MSK: Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Integrated Genomics Operation is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead our Data Team! In this role you will own and evolve the platforms that capture, organize, and serve petabytes of genomic data, enabling breakthrough cancer-research initiatives across MSK. Your leadership will directly power dozens of high-impact projects, accelerating discoveries that lead to improved cancer care and outcomes.
Role Overview:
- Lead & mentor a high-performing team of full-stack engineers, fostering a supportive culture of learning and ownership.
- Lead the Integrated Genomics Operation software portfolio—our laboratory information-management system (LIMS), data-archiving pipeline, and delivery APIs—driving the roadmap from concept to production.
- Build intuitive web applications with React (primary) and Node.js/Python back-ends that streamline genomic data capture, QC, and distribution.
- Champion engineering excellence: implement robust unit and end-to-end testing, code reviews, and CI/CD to keep our codebase clean and reliable.
- Model collaborative development by guiding standard processes in design discussions, pair programming, and GitHub-based workflows.
Key Qualifications:
- S./M.S. in Computer Science or Bioinformatics, or a related field
- 5+ years building production software in a collaborative, version-controlled environment.

- Deep database skills: schema design and performance tuning for both relational (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) systems.
- Stong hands-on experience with core Linux commands
Core Skills:
- Exceptional communicator—comfortable translating wet-lab scientists’ needs into clear technical requirements and explaining solutions to non-engineers.
- Self-directed problem-solver who thrives in a fast-moving, data-rich research environment.
- Someone who enjoys working collaboratively yet can operate independently
- Customer-focused approach: you actively solicit feedback, iterate quickly, and measure success by user adoption and satisfaction.
