This is a full-time remote position within the United States.

The Research Application Solutions Unit is seeking a Technical Specialist to design and build services that support the Rheumatology Research Core’s new electron microscope service as well as provide cross support to the computational resources located in the KERN Center, and the Aging and Dementia Research Core. The primary role will be to help expand and design enhanced services for researchers wanting to consume the imaging resources of the electron microscope located in the Rheumatology Core. The applications and infrastructure located in the various cores leverage both local and Cloud based computing, Big Data, and digital image pipeline processing using state of the art software applications and frameworks. The candidate will also include working alongside other senior systems administrators to help support a variety of research based computational environments. Our Technical Specialists ensure that the on prem and cloud-based services will adhere to uptime and accuracy targets, and are resilient, and will scale as data volumes and end user traffic increase. They work closely with the data engineering, platforms, and other application and system service teams to develop applications as required to benefit research, our practice, and its patients.

• Works closely with the Product Owners, Product Managers, Research Operational Administrators, and System Architects to translate requirements into new services.
• Develop services and applications around image processing, research related large data sets and will use both on prem and cloud based computing resources.
