- Ensure consistency and robustness by designing and running test scenarios.
- Continuously review requirements and scope by interacting with biologists and assay scientists.
- Manage the tool’s deployment cycle and suggest improvements.
Required qualifications and experience
- A bachelor’s degree in computer science or related fields. Students entering their final year of undergraduate studies would also be considered.
- Experience of Rust and Python programming languages.
- Knowledge of software development best practices for writing robust applications in collaboration with other software engineers.
