Job Summary

As a member of the HCI Research Informatics team, the Software Design Engineer Jr. is expected to design and develop applications for research. The Research Informatics team is responsible for managing software applications built both in-house and purchased commercial off the shelf ( COTS ) in the support of various groups at HCI . Research Informatics team members work closely with laboratory scientists, clinical researchers and population scientists on requirements, design, project management, testing and implementation to provide systems solutions and coordinate overall delivery of software applications.

Because of the high-demand for software solutions from Research Informatics, and the complexity involved in some of the cancer research initiatives, the selected candidate will be expected to either create interfaces with COTS products, or will be working with a team to create in-house software solutions following the RISR standards and framework/architecture. The successful candidate will have some full-stack experience, with some knowledge of Java, Hibernate and database architecture.

HuntsmanCancer Institute is committed to cancer prevention, care, and survivorship for all communities within the area we serve – which includes Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming – with impact worldwide. Partnerships with individuals, communities, and many other entities are crucial to our work. Huntsman Cancer Institute values cancer-related health equity, and inclusion as integral to our guiding principle to serve our patients and their communities, and our commitment to foster a culture of belonging for all within our organization.

In your cover letter or during your interview process, we invite you to share how your personal and professional experiences have prepared you to serve as a member of our team as we work to reduce the cancer burden experienced by all people and communities. This may include description of your prior experiences related to research, prevention, clinical care, community engagement/outreach, training, administration, or other areas relevant to Huntsman Cancer Institute’s mission and this position.
