Genom Oncology develops software that clinical and molecular laboratories use to interpret
next-generation sequencing (NGS) results and generate the reports oncologists and geneticists rely on for patient care.
As a Senior Application Engineer, you will bridge the gap between our clients and our product development team by translating laboratory workflows and business requirements into well defined application design and configuration. You will work closely with clients to understand
their needs, design and validate solutions, coordinate implementation, and ensure successful
deployment.
This is a technical role, but not a software development role: you won't be writing production
code. This role combines technical problem solving, solution design, customer collaboration,
and quality assurance. You will work closely with Product Development to customize,
configure, validate, and optimize our applications - ensuring our solutions meet client
requirements.
Success in this role requires curiosity, strong analytical thinking, and the ability to quickly
understand complex technical and scientific concepts. Experience with genomics or NGS
testing is valuable but not required; candidates who learn quickly and enjoy solving
challenging problems will thrive. In addition, you will mentor junior Application Engineers and
contribute to the continued improvement of our implementation processes.
You will translate complex, often ambiguous, client requirements into well-defined
application specifications and ensure our solutions meet those requirements and are
successfully implemented, tested, and deployed.
