Job Overview

Ambry Genetics is a cutting-edge clinical laboratory coupled with powerful automation capabilities. We continually strive to deliver quality results to our patients as quickly as possible. Software architects are part of one or more Agile Scrum teams that innovate and drive improvements to our in-house developed software. The software architect is not only responsible for building features, but also ensuring scalable designs can span technologies, applications, or providers. Our core competencies are PHP (Symfony) and JavaScript (ReactJS) and to a lesser extent, Golang, Java, and Python. The successful candidate will embody a spirit of continuous improvement while engaging with collaborative cross-functional teams, including not only fellow developers, business systems analysts, and quality assurance engineers, but also DevOps engineers, security personnel, and other operations team members. This person will gain knowledge and experience in the latest technologies, both in the genetics and technology industries. Knowledge of genetic testing, molecular biology, or other scientific-related disciplines is a huge benefit but is not required. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage in a positive and creative work environment that offers great benefits and opportunities for growth.
