Apply for this role (opens in a new tab)Bioinformatics Engineer Conduct Science is seeking a Bioinformatics Engineer to build practical AI/ML-enabled data systems for biological, preclinical, and research operations workflows. The successful candidate will turn messy scientific, imaging, and experimental datasets into reliable internal tools, reproducible analyses, model-evaluation workflows, and clear outputs that help scientists, engineers, and operations teammates make better decisions.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
- Build and maintain Python-based pipelines for biological, biomedical, imaging, sequencing, microscopy, behavioral, or lab operations datasets
- Clean, normalize, validate, and document research data from internal systems, public sources, instruments, and vendor files
- Develop reproducible notebooks, scripts, dashboards, and internal tools for scientific analysis, ML experimentation, and model evaluation
- Apply machine learning, computer vision, or image-analysis methods to experimental datasets where they improve measurement, classification, segmentation, tracking, or quality control
- Work with scientists and product teams to translate research questions into structured datasets, analysis plans, and usable outputs
- Document assumptions, data sources, quality checks, and workflow changes so analyses can be repeated and reviewed
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Data Science, Biomedical Engineering, Biology, or a related field, OR equivalent practical experience
- Strong Python skills and comfort working with structured and semi-structured scientific data
- Experience with data cleaning, exploratory analysis, reproducible notebooks, scripts, model evaluation, and version-controlled workflows
- Hands-on experience with machine learning, computer vision, image analysis, or applied AI in a scientific or technical setting
- Ability to explain technical findings clearly to scientific and non-technical teammates
- Ability to work full-time in the Glenview, IL office
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch, OpenCV, R, SQL, workflow automation, or cloud data tools
- Experience with biological, biomedical, genomics, microscopy, imaging, behavioral, video, or lab automation datasets
- Experience with segmentation, tracking, classification, feature extraction, signal processing, or multimodal scientific data
- Familiarity with statistical analysis, quality control, metadata standards, assay data, or scientific instrumentation
- Comfort building practical internal tools rather than only one-off analyses
Compensation:
base salary is $45,000-$55,000, commensurate with experience, plus eligibility for a discretionary year-end bonus. Current benefits for full-time employees include paid time off and sick leave under company policy.
