Job description
Lead Software Engineer- Programmer Analyst Lead, Band H
Cornell Institute of Biotechnology
Research and Innovation
What you will do :
The Lead Software Engineer manages the entire software development division within Breeding Insight. The role requires the management and direction of all aspects of software development and integration, including planning, designing, implementing, and maintaining software applications built and used by Breeding Insight. The Lead Software Engineer, in concert with the scientific and training teams, will work as part of a national initiative to extend the application of genotypic information to the routine development of specialty crops and animals. Breeding of specialty crops and animals has lagged behind major crops and livestock, though these specialty species together have equal economic value to the major crops and provide valuable nutrition and flavor to diets. One of Breeding Insight's aims is to accelerate breeding efforts by integrating the use of phenomics (trait analysis) with genomics and natural variation to increase the rate of genetic gain to create healthy, nutritious, and sustainable specialty crops and animals. Breeding Insight currently supports 19 ARS specialty species with 9 more expected at the start of 2024.
The Lead Software Engineer is located in Ithaca, NY, at Cornell University and will report directly to the Breeding Insight Director. Remote work options are possible for candidates residing within the continental US and willing to travel. The Lead Software Engineer will manage multiple direct reports including software engineers and quality assurance analysts. The incumbent will work directly with the Breeding Program Lead, Product Owner, Training and Communications Lead, and Program Associate as part of the Breeding Insight leadership team to guide BI endeavors and strategies. The Lead Software Engineer will be responsible for identifying technical requirements, setting technical direction, planning bi-weekly sprints, supporting direct-reports in their day-to-day work, and implementing software features. The incumbent will also work closely with the Product Owner to identify product requirements and plan releases. The Lead Software Engineer will be expected to interface with software teams outside of Breeding Insight to facilitate collaboration on common goals, integrate existing third-party applications and tools, and to help identify required enhancements to existing third party applications and tools. Long-term success will be based on evidence of a measurable increase in the rate in which tools and technologies are adopted within supported Breeding Programs.
What we need:
The Lead Software Engineer will be recruited based on core competency in several different areas, including software development skills, software development life cycle knowledge, team management, and project management. Excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills are required as is the ability to assimilate and interpret results for decision-making.
