- Define fit for purpose operational model to fit different levels of maturity, ranging from agile PoCs to enterprise processing pipelines
- Own the technology landscape and ensure the underlying roadmap evolves to meet future scientific needs
- Translate bioinformatics research goals into effective IT solutions and make decisions on solution architecture
- Encourage FAIR principles and storage of data for reuse, and ensure processing workflows are reproducible to maximize value for innovation
- Bridge the gap between computational science and technology delivery, collaborating closely with researchers and stakeholders
- Stay at the forefront of technology; collaborate closely with Syngenta architecture and cloud DevOps teams to evaluate and select the best hardware approach and software tools for bioinformatics analysis and science delivery
- Document analysis methods and results meticulously, ensuring clarity and reproducibility
- Bioinformatics domain expertise, including standard workflow tooling used in different areas, e.g. for genomics pipeline development, multi-omics data integration
- Experience in bioinformatics research covering multiple species.
- Proficiency in architectural design and delivery
- Hands-on experience creating and managing AWS environments
- Knowledge of solution architecture in an enterprise environment
- Experience managing scientific data
- Ability to work with multiple stakeholders across science and IT to devise common solutions
- Extensive benefits package including a generous pension scheme, bonus scheme, private medical & life insurance.
- Up to 31.5 days annual holiday.

Syngenta is a leading science-based Ag-tech company dedicated to bringing plant potential to life. Each of our 28,000 employees in more than 90 countries works together to solve one of humanity’s most pressing challenges: growing more food with fewer resources. From the moment a seed is planted through to harvest, crops need to be protected from weeds, insects, and diseases as well as droughts and floods, heat, and cold. As a world market leader in crop protection, we help farmers to counter these threats and ensure enough safe, nutritious, affordable food for all – while minimizing the use of land and other agricultural inputs. A diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace environment are enablers of our ambition to be the most collaborative and trusted team in agriculture.
