## About the role

We are seeking a strong MS Computer Science candidate to join our Research Informatics / R&D IT team. You will help build the digital foundation that enables both scientists and autonomous AI agents—combining cloud-native data platforms, vendor LIMS/ELN and analytical systems, robust scientific data pipelines, and agentic AI / LLM capabilities.

## What they're looking for

- Master’s degree in Computer Science (or a closely related field) with relevant coursework in cloud computing and the fundamentals of AI and ML
- Demonstrated experience building data pipelines, feature engineering, or scientific data workflows (e.g., Spark/Databricks-style pipelines, data quality checks, performance tuning)
- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS), containers (Docker/Kubernetes), and modern data/backend tools (SQL, PostgreSQL, orchestration frameworks)
- Strong proficiency with AI coding assistants and coding agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar tools)
- Familiarity with LLM concepts, RAG, retrieval, or multi-agent systems (coursework, projects, or professional exposure)
- Willingness and aptitude to rapidly learn commercial LIMS/ELN or analytical platforms (e.g., Genedata, CDD Vault, Virscidian Analytical Studio), prior exposure is a plus
