Business Analyst/Bioinformatics
The Business Analyst acts as the translation layer between research scientists (molecular biologists, genomics/phenotyping teams) and the development team, owning how scientific intent becomes well-structured pipeline inputs, outputs, and data contracts at a product level.
Location:
Quantori is an international team: we have colleagues who work not only from office but also remotely from all over the world.
What we expect:
- 3+ years in a BA or similar analytical role, with demonstrated experience in bioinformatics
- Comfortable across the core genomics data types the bioinformatics pipelines handle: NGS workflows, variant/marker data, and the genotype–phenotype linkages
- Able to translate scientists' conceptual requirements into concrete I/O specifications: sample sheets and metadata models, reference-genome handling, parameterization, and the data contracts between pipeline steps
- Conceptual grasp of how production bioinformatics pipelines are built and run (workflow managers like Nextflow/Snakemake, containerization, reproducibility, cloud execution)
- Experienced in running structured interviews and working sessions with scientists and internal stakeholders, building and maintaining relationships across stakeholder groups, and managing competing priorities and expectations between them
- Able to produce clear, structured artifacts (user stories, process maps, written documentation) that the development team can act on directly, and keep this documentation current as requirements evolve
- Able to work fluently across a mixed delivery team, participate in or organise agile-style ceremonies (backlog grooming, sprint planning, reviews), and keep business needs aligned with what's actually being built
Nice to have:
Familiarity with plant/breeding data standards and ontologies — MIAPPE, BrAPI, Crop/Plant Ontology, and FAIR principles.We offer:
- Competitive compensation
- Remote or office work
- Flexible working hours
- A team with excellent tech expertise
