About the role

We file this job under Data Leadership, by the work the posting describes.

Data leaders run data teams or design how a company's data fits together. Managers hire, set priorities and answer for whether the data work pays off; architects choose the systems and the shape of the data.

Expect years of hands-on data work, experience leading people or projects, and the ability to explain tradeoffs to executives.

Unlike a senior engineer or analyst, most of a data leader's week goes to people, planning and decisions rather than building.

What You Will Do

  • You will be a critical team member in a unique partnership to industrialize Scientific AI. As such, you will engage directly with customers onsite a couple of days per week in the Basel region, building strong relationships, deeply understanding their scientific data challenges and requirements, and accelerating solutions.
  • Design and implement extensible, reusable data models that efficiently capture and organize scientific data for scientific use cases, ensuring scalability and future adaptability.
  • Translate scientific data workflows into robust solutions leveraging the Tetra Data Platform.
  • Own, scope, prototype, and implement solutions including:
    • Data model design (tabular & JSON)
    • Python-based parser development.
    • Lab software (e.g., ELN/LIMS) integration via APIs.
    • Data visualization and app development in Python (using app frameworks like Streamlit and plotting tools like holoviews and Plotly) 
    • Collaborate with Scientific Business Analysts (SBAs), customer scientists and applied AI engineers to develop and deploy models (ML, AI, mechanistic, statistical, hybrid)
    • Programmatically interrogating proprietary instrument output files.
  • Dynamically iterate with scientific end users and technical stakeholders to rapidly drive solution development and adoption through regular demos and meetings
  • Proactively communicate implementation progress and deliver demos to customer stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with the product team to build and prioritize our roadmap by understanding customers’ pain points within and outside Tetra Data Platform.
  • Rapidly learn new technologies (e.g., new AWS services or scientific analysis applications) to develop and troubleshoot use cases
