Key Responsibilities

  • Recruit and manage a team of engineers to develop and deploy components of Australia's national genomics infrastructure.
  • Communicate with national stakeholders, contribute to the national genomic infrastructure strategy, and identify and coordinate with collaborators across the country to work on federated systems.
  • Seek out researchers who would benefit from using national genomics infrastructure, support them to gain access, and work iteratively to improve tools/systems to meet their needs.
  • Ensure the projects the team takes on are relevant to Garvan and support Garvan researchers, contributing to applications for grant funding to support the team in collaboration with DSP head and other team leads.
  • Develop a culture of rigorous best-practices, open-source software engineering, and close collaboration between the software team and other groups across the institute.

  • Understanding of how to build performant, decoupled, testable, maintainable code.
  • Ability to prioritize across multiple simultaneous projects and keep stakeholders in the loop.
  • Excellent ability to gather and refine specifications and requirements based on technical needs, and to communicate regularly with stakeholders to test prototype software.
  • Confidence to design and execute software development projects based on incomplete specifications.
  • Demonstrated experience in managing a team.
  • Build and maintain a strong functional team through effective recruitment, coaching, team building.
  • A capable technical leader who sees management of a talented engineering team as an opportunity to increase impact, rather than a chore.
  • Comfortable communicating with both technical and non-technical individuals across the organisation.
