Additionally, the QA engineer will work closely with bioinformatics development and operations teams to identify and resolve potential issues within internal bioinformatics software.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, execute, and maintain comprehensive test plans and test cases for bioinformatics pipelines, including unit, integration, and system-level testing.

Conduct functional, performance, and scalability testing on bioinformatics workflows and software.

Collaborate closely with bioinformatics developers to understand pipeline requirements and ensure appropriate testing strategies.

Validate data outputs for consistency, accuracy, and biological relevance across diverse datasets.

Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., CLIA, CAP, HIPAA) in bioinformatics workflows.

Analyze and document test results, identify issues, and work with development teams to resolve defects.

Implement version control best practices, manage testing environments, and ensure reproducibility of results.

Support the release process by ensuring that updates to bioinformatics software and pipelines meet quality standards.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

Experience with bioinformatics pipelines, data analysis, and scientific computing environments.

Proficiency in programming and scripting languages such as Python, R, or Bash.

Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, including automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.

Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and frameworks (e.g., Nextflow, Snakemake, Galaxy).

Experience with version control systems such as Git and Azure DevOps.

Knowledge of biological data formats (e.g., FASTQ, BAM, VCF) and sequencing technologies.

Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Preferred Skills & Experience

Experience with statistical analysis or machine learning in a biological context.

Understanding of regulatory standards in clinical bioinformatics (e.g., CLIA, CAP).

Familiarity with high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
