Data Science Engineer

The Regeneron Genetics Center's Genome Informatics & Data Engineering R&D team is looking for a Data Science Engineer to work at the interface of genomics, big data engineering, and advanced analytics. We are expanding our Apache Spark-based distributed analytics platform and our Project Glow open-source project, which is developing and applying scalable algorithms to genomic and health data from millions of individuals. We are engineering end-to-end solutions that unify and structure diverse data sets efficiently, and perform scalable downstream analyses to derive genomic health insights that support Regeneron's drug development pipelines.

In this role, a typical day might include the following:

• Engineer production-quality distributed analytics pipelines capable of processing terabytes of genomic and clinical data
• Apply modern data mining and machine learning methodologies on internal genetic and phenotypic datasets, using distributed and high-performance computing technologies to uncover insights to improve drug development efforts
• Develop novel analytics tools and methods for both internal pipelines and within our open-source Project Glow initiative
• Contribute to the design and implementation of large scale data pipelines and infrastructure
• Interact and collaborate with other scientific and technical teams
• Keep abreast of state-of-the-art software engineering and data science technologies

This job might be for you if:

• You have an eye for detail and pride yourself on the quality of your work. Operational excellence matters more than just finishing the tasks.
• With your sleeves rolled up, you work on current problems while thinking of future solutions.
• You are motivated by the challenge of engineering analytics software that can be automated and scaled to massive datasets.

To be considered for this role, you must have a Ph.D with relevant experience. A strong background in computer science, data mining, machine learning, or a related field, with domain knowledge in life sciences, preferred but not required. Demonstrated experience in engineering scalable and performant data processing software in Spark or another distributed compute environment such as Hadoop, map-reduce, MPI, or other parallel computing frameworks is essential. 3+ years of software engineering experience in a modern Object Oriented or Functional language. Knowledge of database technologies, indexing/partitioning, and SQL.
