The Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) is looking for a Software Developer to contribute to the technical development of the Informatics and Biocomputing platform. This full-time position is primarily focused on software development to advance the SeqWare open source project. SeqWare is used inside the institute and externally in projects such as the ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer analysis project for sample tracking, performing grid and cloud-based analyses, databasing metadata, and querying unstructured and semi-structured data.

Our development/deployment environment is using Maven, Jenkins, Artifactory, OpenStack and Ansible.
Inside the institute, the Software Developer will provide tools for a software infrastructure that functions within OICR’s 8000 core, 2.5 petabyte HPC environment. Outside the institute, the developer will provide tools for software infrastructure that functions across six disparate cloud compute centres on three continents.
The responsibilities include:
Create beautiful and usable web user interfaces using modern frameworks such as AngularJS
Create web services for developers
Build APIs for developers and support the development of workflows by programmers both inside and outside the institute
Interact with the production and workflow development teams to design and implement new software tools
Participate in the design of SeqWare and associated software infrastructure
Follow excellent coding practices for open source development (manage code in source control, write unit and regression tests, provide documentation on both public and private sites)
QUALIFICATIONS:
At minimum, completion of a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering or recognized equivalent required.
At minimum over 2 years up to and including 3 years practical and related experience and/or 2 years on-the-job training required
Have strong opinions about robust, usable, and maintainable software
Experience with technologies for web services such as JAX-RS, Jersey, Jackson, Tomcat, etc.
Experience with technologies such as AngularJS, BackboneJS or similar, modern MVC Javascript frameworks
Experience with build tools (Ant, Maven), source control (git), and CI (jenkins)
Experience with databases (postgres) and object-relational-mapping (JPA, Hibernate)
Experience in writing unit and integration tests using JUnit and Mockito
Experience profiling and benchmarking applications
Desire to contribute to all parts of the development process
Desire to work in a production scientific environment and in bioinformatics
Knowledge of bioinformatics is an asset but not essential
