Bioinformatician

ChordexBio is seeking a skilled and curious Bioinformatician to join our core team as a full-time, remote-first member driving the computational and data science backbone of our life sciences platforms. This is a position built for someone who finds equal satisfaction in the elegance of a well-constructed pipeline and the biological insight it reveals — a scientist-engineer who understands that the future of research is as much about data architecture as it is about the bench.

In this role, you will work across ChordexBio's platform ecosystem, applying bioinformatic methods, biological data analysis, and computational modeling to support platform development, scientific validation, and user-facing research capabilities. You will collaborate with research consultants, platform engineers, and leadership to translate complex biological questions into scalable computational solutions. This role is ideal for candidates who sit confidently at the intersection of biology and data science — professionals who can move fluidly between sequence analysis, structural biology, systems biology, or multi-omics workflows depending on what the science demands. Our ideal bioinformatician is not just technically strong but is scientifically engaged — someone who keeps up with the literature, thinks in pathways and networks, and is excited to build tools and pipelines that empower researchers beyond their own workbench.

1. Design, develop, and maintain bioinformatic pipelines and workflows supporting ChordexBio platform features, scientific validation, and internal research operations
2. Perform analysis of biological datasets — including genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, structural, or receptor-level data — depending on project and platform requirements
3. Collaborate with the platform and product teams to integrate bioinformatic capabilities and data intelligence into ChordexBio's software ecosystem
4. Support the scientific integrity of ChordexBio platforms by ensuring that data models, annotations, and analysis outputs meet rigorous biological and statistical standards
5. Develop and maintain documentation for all pipelines, datasets, analytical methods, and computational workflows
6. Contribute to the development of scientific content, methodology notes, and technical documentation for platform users and internal teams
7. Identify, evaluate, and integrate relevant public biological databases, reference datasets, and third-party bioinformatic tools into ChordexBio workflows
8. Work alongside research consultants and domain experts to translate biological research needs into computational specifications
9. Monitor emerging trends in bioinformatics, computational biology, and related fields and assess their relevance to ChordexBio's platform roadmap
10. Participate in cross-functional reviews, sprint planning, and scientific discussions to ensure biological accuracy is embedded throughout product development

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Data Science, or a closely related discipline — Bachelor's required; Master's or PhD strongly preferred.
2. Proficiency in Python and/or R for biological data analysis, pipeline development, and statistical modeling.
3. Hands-on experience with bioinformatic tools and frameworks such as BioPython, Bioconductor, BLAST, GATK, DESeq2, Seurat, AlphaFold, or equivalent depending on specialization.
4. Familiarity with sequence analysis, structural biology, pathway analysis, multi-omics integration, or receptor/protein function modeling — depth in at least one domain is required.
5. Experience working with biological databases such as UniProt, NCBI, Ensembl, PDB, STRING, or similar resources.
6. Strong understanding of statistical methods applicable to biological data — including normalization, differential expression, dimensionality reduction, or survival analysis.
7. Comfortable working in a fully remote, collaborative environment using version control (Git), cloud platforms, and shared computational infrastructure.
8. Strong written communication skills in English — ability to document methods and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

QUALIFICATIONS:
You are an ideal candidate if you are or have experience as:
1. A bioinformatician or computational biologist with hands-on pipeline development and biological data analysis experience in academia or industry.
2. A molecular biologist or biochemist with strong programming skills who has made the transition into computational research.
3. A data scientist with a life sciences background and demonstrated experience applying machine learning or statistical modeling to biological questions.
4. A research associate or postdoctoral fellow with significant bioinformatic output — publications, pipelines, datasets, or platform contributions.
5. A structural biologist, systems biologist, or multi-omics specialist looking to apply domain expertise in a product-driven biotech environment.

As a full-time Bioinformatician at ChordexBio, you will receive a competitive compensation package commensurate with your experience, training, and specialization. In addition, you will gain:
1. A scientifically substantive role at the core of a programmable biology company building platforms that matter to researchers globally
2. Direct collaboration with research consultants, platform engineers, and ChordexBio leadership — your work will shape the scientific credibility of our products
3. Access to ChordexBio platforms and internal research infrastructure to support your work and professional development
4. Opportunity to contribute to research publications, platform white papers, or scientific documentation representing ChordexBio's biological capabilities
5. A fully remote, work-from-home arrangement with flexible scheduling structured around outcomes, scientific rigor, and impact
