The Impact You’ll Make
Serna Bio is building the world’s first map of the druggable transcriptome, systematically expanding the universe of RNA biology for small molecule drug discovery. Using our Discovery Platform, we are tackling traditionally unapproachable targets from coding and non-coding RNA. As we continue to grow, we are looking to hire a smart, inquisitive, and delivery-focused Data Engineer to join our expanding team. Your work will help utilize the insights we are generating as we construct the map of the druggable transcriptome. You will employ your creativity and analytical thinking to create pipelines for data organization and transformation, and to develop analysis and visualization structures to extract insights and inform decisions. Your efforts will span database, server, large-scale processing, and visualization architectures.
The role primarily includes the following responsibilities:
- Developing and maintaining our pipelines for NGS data
- Creating dashboards and other tools to make data accessible and usable
- NGS pipelines (e.g., Nextflow, Python, shell scripts) for HTS data analysis including, but not limited to, quality control, alignment, variant calling, annotation, deconvolution, etc.
- and DevOps support
- Automating deployment and monitoring processes
- Supporting documentation, discoverability, and governance of our data assets and data initiatives
- Assisting in administering our data platforms and tools
The Data Engineer will play a crucial role in achieving our goals.
