With experts in biomedical science, software engineering, and program management, we focus on developing and applying research tools and techniques to empower decision-making and accelerate research discoveries. We work with some of the top research organizations and facilities in the country including multiple institutes at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).\nBenefits We Offer:\n100% Medical, Dental & Vision Coverage for Employees\nPaid Time Off and Paid Holidays\n401K match up to 5%\nEducational Benefits for Career Growth\nEmployee Referral Bonus\nFlexible Spending Accounts:Healthcare (FSA)\nParking Reimbursement Account (PRK)\nDependent Care Assistant Program (DCAP)\nTransportation Reimbursement Account (TRN)\n\nPosition Overview\nThe Research Data Manager will build and maintain the data infrastructure for the SOM Center. This includes the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), document and repository platforms such as Invenio, and the metadata databases and pipelines that connect them. The role brings together instrument, assay, and analysis data and makes it findable, traceable, and reusable, in line with NIH data management and sharing requirements. The position combines hands-on software development with data stewardship, using cloud-native tooling and AI/ML to make data easier to find and use.\nKey Responsibilities\nData integration. Connect laboratory instruments, analysis pipelines, and external data sources to the LIMS. Build and maintain automated ingestion pipelines with validation, logging, and error handling.\n\nData wrangling and format conversion. Write and maintain custom scripts and services that convert, normalize, and harmonize heterogeneous data formats (instrument exports, imaging metadata, omics outputs, spreadsheets) into standardized schemas.\n\nRepository and document management. Deploy, configure, and support document and research data management systems such as Invenio. Manage records, metadata schemas, persistent identifiers, and access controls.\n\nDatabase development. Design, create, and maintain databases for experimental metadata and small-to-moderate datasets, including schema design, migrations, indexing, and backup and recovery.\n\nAI/ML-assisted discovery. Incorporate ML/AI into data workflows and user interfaces, such as semantic search, metadata extraction and auto-annotation, and natural-language query tools, to help researchers find and use data.\n\nPlatform and cloud engineering. Develop, containerize, and deploy software solutions on cloud or local Kubernetes resources. Maintain CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code.\n\nTool evaluation. Evaluate and recommend packages, platforms, and standards for data management, and prepare short technical assessments for IDSS leadership.\n\nTraining and documentation. Train laboratory and analytical staff, and write standard operating procedures and technical documentation.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nData integration.
