À propos

About the Team
Rfam and RNAcentral are key resources for RNA biology, serving tens of thousands of users every year and widely cited in the scientific literature. Rfam and RNAcentral are funded by the BBSRC and Wellcome. The RNA Resources team is part of the Sequence Families group led by Alex Bateman. You will report to the Project Leader for RNA Resources and work closely with an RNA bioinformatician, two full‑stack software developers, and an Rfam biocurator. Your Role
As a Bioinformatics Data Engineer, you will run, maintain, and optimise our data pipelines, ensuring efficient data processing, storage and retrieval for Rfam and RNAcentral. You will analyse requirements, propose new data pipeline architectures, and implement solutions to improve performance and scalability. The Tasks Will Include
Analyzing existing data curation and production pipelines and identifying areas for improvement, optimisation and scalability. Modernising and containerising Rfam curation pipelines, and implementing human‑in‑the‑loop, AI‑assisted agentic curation. Developing and scaling LLM pipelines used in RNAcentral for literature summarisation and curation. Developing scalable workflows for ncRNA annotation in genomes. Documenting data pipelines, processes and workflows for internal reference and knowledge sharing. Participating in RNAcentral and Rfam data releases. Outreach and Community Engagement
You will be responsible for outreach to the scientific community through presentations at major conferences such as the RNA Society Annual Meeting and ISMB, as well as at RNAcentral consortium meetings and Scientific Advisory Board meetings, gathering regular feedback from community members and keeping up to date with the latest developments in RNA science. Required Qualifications
Master’s level or equivalent qualification in a computational, biological or related scientific discipline. Proficiency in Python and other relevant languages for bioinformatics tool development. Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and SQL, including database architecture, performance tuning, partitioning strategies, indexing techniques and query optimisation. Demonstrated track record of developing and maintaining production bioinformatics pipelines with workflow management systems such as Nextflow or Snakemake. Experience building applications with LLMs and other AI technologies. Familiarity with Docker or other containerisation technologies such as Singularity. Comfortable using Git/GitHub, Unix and Bash. Experience using AI assisted coding tools. Ability to apply best‑practice software development methodologies. Strong communication skills. Preferred Qualifications
Knowledge of RNA biology and/or demonstrable practical experience with Rfam, Infernal, R‑scape and tools for secondary structure prediction. Familiarity with gene annotation or genome feature representation. Experience with high‑performance computing environments such as Slurm. Experience planning and executing data migration projects, including downtime management, data consistency verification and rollback strategies. Experience with AI workflow libraries such as LangChain and LangGraph. Experience with Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure platforms such as OpenStack. Experience with the Rust programming language.
