We are looking for an experienced Java developer (32-36h) for our MOLGENIS Scrum team.
As our new colleague, your focus will be on feature development within the Java part of MOLGENIS solutions. If you are interested, you can work on our full stack.
Our main Java platforms are EMX2 (http://github.com/molgenis) and Armadillo (https://github.com/molgenis/molgenis-service-armadillo). EMX2 is a web application for managing and querying large health research data sets. The app runs on Java, GraphQL, VueJS, Tailwind CSS, and PostgreSQL . Armadillo provides ‘federated analysis’, connecting data sets from institutes across Europe. The tool is based on Java, Spring, Vue.js, and R (DataSHIELD). The solutions are offered as SaaS on OpenStack, Docker and Kubernetes, or as custom installations. Your primary task will be the development of EMX2 and/or Armadillo features and components as needed within your team. You will be guided by data managers, project managers, and a Product Owner. If you want, you could be in touch with the end-users in varying international collaborations.
Apart from building new components for the team, you will collaborate with other developers on cross-team projects, code reviews, and testing. As an experienced developer, you can think about architectural design choices, performance optimizations, and best practices. You may want to accelerate your work by occasional pair programming sessions.
The MOLGENIS team at the UMCG develops open-source software tools and data infrastructure for research in the field of human disease and health. As such we are the linking pin in diverse national and international collaborations on large health data sets.
Our team of developers is embedded with data managers, system administrators and project managers on a mission to accelerate research and help patients. The team is organized in product/community-focused groups. Work is planned using Scrum methodology. Our developers like clean coding and have a strong focus on reusability of code, platforms, and functionality. We welcome new ideas and provide ‘Google Friday time’ to further explore them.
