Job Description
Zoetis, Inc. The purpose of this role is primarily for the design and development of systems for delivering Laboratory operation and data analytics platforms to commercial customers. Overall, the role is intended to assure systems are specified, designed, developed, and delivered to meet standards and requirements for high quality and optimal customer experience. A key concept behind this role is that in this Genetics Operations environment, developers should have a thorough understanding of business processes and their associated requirements, in addition to expert development skills. This is a small team of highly motivated professionals, and the team size does not allow for a specialization of pure development that is decoupled from the concerns of business analysis. Thus this role has an analyst component, which is essential to identifying or refining business requirements and translating them into technical solutions. In addition to code development, this role will be expected to contribute to the system/component specification, design, and quality testing. Key activities include contributing to or authoring business and user requirements, system design, business process design technical documentation, and business and user documentation, and test script development. The primary responsibility for this role will be in design and development. The role will be expected to innovate by finding creative approaches to automation of workflows, user interfaces, and back end computing. Expertise in developing solutions capable of processing very large data sets efficiently is essential. Database skills, including fluency in developing efficient SQL, stored procedure development, and performance troubleshooting and tuning are essential. MS-SQL is the most prevalent RDBMS in this space, but Postgres skills are also desirable. Currently the most relevant development stack is .NET, with C#, Alteryx and Power BI used for new development, but there exists significant legacy code in Visual Basic that must be supported and enhanced. There are also significant portions of the back-end system running on a Linux platform, with development in C#.NET, C++, Python, and Bash. The environment is evolving towards Java, Python, and Postgres in a cloud-based (both AWS and Azure) environment. Both Windows and Linux operating systems are in use. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Management, Bio-informatics, Data Science or related and 4 years of experience required. Telecommuting permitted.
