About Your Next Job
BaseClear processes large amounts of data using a wide array of tools and applications. This data is to ensure proper processing of samples within our operational workflow, result files which are then sent to our clients, and keep track of business intelligence. Within the IT department, we develop and maintain several of these systems. These systems are critical for the ongoing business of BaseClear and require a high level of security and integrity, as defined in the ISO27001 and GxP guidelines we uphold. Furthermore, although general IT challenges are handled by our external IT supplier, the IT team cooperates with this third party to ensure all IT ongoings are performed to a high standard.
In this role, you will be part of the IT team, developing and improving several of our internally-build systems. These include a data portal, where clients can download their genomic data, and our internal automation portal, interfacing tools together for a smooth operational workflow. If you enjoy software developing and want to work with large amounts of critical data, this might be the job you’re looking for!
