- Location:
Remote. Open to talents from GMT-8 to GMT+5 time zones. The client is not open to China, Australia or countries in similar time zones. - Overlap: 3 – 4 hours with Chicago/Texas (US Central Time)
- Length: 6 months (with potential for extension)
Project Information
Sprocket is an open workflow execution engine written in Rust—it enables scientists, who are generally not experts at scaling and deploying large-scale computation, to write simple workflow descriptions using the Workflow Description Language.
Requirements- Required Skills:
- Senior-level proficiency in Rust, with a strong track record of shipping production code
- Experience contributing to or leading open-source projects
- Familiarity with workflow engines, scientific computing, or large-scale computation
- Ability to work with Rust crates for lexing, parsing, validating, linting, formatting, testing, and executing domain-specific languages
- Strong skills in API design and specification development
- Experience using Git Hub for project planning and collaboration
- Optional Skills (not mandatory):
- Experience developing or improving specifications using OpenAPI (Swagger)
- Familiarity with the Workflow Description Language (WDL) and Task Execution Schema (TES)
- Experience with Kubernetes or cloud/HPC environments
- Prior involvement with standards bodies (e.g., GA4GH)
- Experience with Rust crates such as utoipa for OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
- Contribute to the development and enhancement of the Sprocket workflow execution engine and related Rust crates (e.g., wdl, sprocket, crankshaft)
- Improve and extend the Workflow Description Language (WDL) specification, including proposing, drafting, and shepherding changes through the ratification process
- Collaborate on the evolution of the Task Execution Schema (TES), including interaction with standards bodies and the open-source community
- Develop and maintain reference implementations, ensuring comprehensive API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Regularly communicate progress and coordinate with the internal computational biology team
- Full-time and long-term role
- Opportunity to work on impactful, open-source technology used by scientists worldwide
- Influence the direction of open standards in scientific workflow execution
