About this role
E-Logic, Inc. is seeking a highly skilled Senior Bioinformatics Software Engineer to drive the operations, maintenance, and modernization of Secure HIV-TRACE, a web-based bioinformatics application utilized by health departments. The role involves leading full-stack development, optimizing workflows in AWS, and collaborating with public health teams to enhance the platform's capabilities.
Responsibilities:
- Modernize, refactor, and document the existing codebase (Python, C++, JavaScript, Node.js) into a modular, REST-based architecture separating the user interface from backend computational engines
- Manage application performance within CDC's AWS cloud environment, utilizing advanced high-performance computing frameworks like AWS ParallelCluster to optimize job processing
- Design and implement next-generation features, including multijurisdictional cluster visualization, time-space cluster detection methodologies, and custom data visualization exports (integrating Power BI, Tableau, and REDCap via APIs)
- Provide database administrator (DBA) support, patch security vulnerabilities, maintain high availability, and capture system error logs for continuous performance metrics
- Ensure all developed code and documentation strictly comply with the Federal SHARE IT Act (releasing software as public open-source on GitHub), HHS Enterprise Performance Life Cycle (EPLC), and Section 508 accessibility guidelines
- Provide technical assistance and troubleshoot processing errors for approximately 150 end-users across state and local health jurisdictions
Requirements:
- Strong foundational knowledge of HIV molecular epidemiology, sequence analysis, and phylogenetic/phylodynamic methods
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer
- Fluency in Python, C++, and JavaScript / Node.js
- Hands-on experience deploying and monitoring applications in AWS GovCloud environments, including containerization, server administration, and infrastructure-as-code
- Competency with relational and non-relational database management systems (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB)
- Proven track record building secure, performant RESTful APIs
- Expert proficiency with Git/GitHub Enterprise, Jira, and Confluence
- Project Management Professional (PMP) certification is a strong plus (at least one key personnel member must hold this credential)
- Experience comparing molecular tools (e.g., HIV-TRACE, BEAST, TimeTree) is highly desirable
