• Feature Implementation: Add new features to support additional assay types or data configurations.
• Database Interaction: Write and debug SQL queries integrated into the Python script to fetch and process assay data.
• Data Transformation: Work on transforming raw database outputs into meaningful, organized outputs (such as JSON) for further analysis.
• Error Handling: Enhance exception handling and logging mechanisms for more robust performance.
• Collaboration: Work with team members and multiple different cross-functional teams to ensure code quality and alignment with project goals.

What We’re Looking For

• Graduate student currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, computer engineering, data science, data analytics or Related Field: Or equivalent experience. (**MUST BE ACTIVELY ENROLLED IN ACADEMIC PROGRAM**)
• Proficient in Python: Familiarity with libraries like sqlalchemy, io, and simplejson is a plus.
• Database Skills: Understanding of SQL and experience interacting with relational databases.
• Problem Solving: Analytical skills to debug, enhance, and test code functionality.
• Knowledge of Git/Bitbucket: Comfortable working with version control systems.
• Data Transformation Experience: Familiarity with JSON or similar data formats is beneficial.
• Team Player: Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in writing, debugging, and optimizing Python scripts.
• Experience with relational databases and SQL. Ability to write and debug queries to interact with large datasets.
• Understanding of database sessions and transaction handling.
• Familiarity with data transformation, especially using JSON. Experience working with structured data, including fetching, mapping, and organizing it.
• Version Control: Knowledge of Git and Bitbucket for managing codebase and collaboration.
• Exposure to LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) or similar database systems.
• Familiarity with handling assay configurations or laboratory workflows.
• Experience with JSON file generation and validation
