Overview

National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is looking for a strong Programmer/Analyst to join our DevOps team, to work on the Enterprise Inventory of software development, products, and operations.

Our proprietary Enterprise Inventory collects metadata and reports on our organization's software development and operations.

NCBI advances science and public health by providing free access over the web to biomedical literature and genomic data, making it one of the 400 top most-visited sites in the world. NCBI's diverse staff of smart, talented, and deeply technical people collaborate to build critically valuable services for researchers, physicians, educators, students, and the general public. For example, NCBI develops and delivers PubMed, an index of over 29 million biomedical research abstracts, often with links to full-text literature and supporting data. NCBI is located in Bethesda, Maryland, and is part of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, one of the National Institutes of Health.
