Solutions Architect
Lifebit Biotech Ltd, Greece
Job Description
At Lifebit, we carve our own path. Trusted by Governments and world-leading pharma institutions and funded with over $60m, we are on a mission to harness the power of connected data and bring precision medicine to life globally. The key to saving human lives is providing researchers across the globe with the right data to develop more precise drugs faster.
Generating large amounts of biomedical data has become relatively straightforward. The challenge now is finding, accessing and analysing this sensitive data stored across thousands of disconnected locations. It is frustrating and painfully difficult for researchers.
Lifebit has created a patented, federated technology that brings analysis and computation to where data resides. This enables researchers to run analyses on multiple, distributed datasets in-situ, avoiding the risky movement of highly-sensitive data.
Lifebit powers pioneers in national precision medicine such as Genomics England (UK Government) and guides them on how to make their valuable data usable securely. Biotech and pharma leaders like Boehringer Ingelheim turn to Lifebit to connect them to this otherwise locked up data to obtain novel therapeutic insights.
Our technology is unmatched and momentum is on our side - but we need an exceptionally strong team to help boost Lifebit to incredible new heights.
As a Solutions Architect in our team:
This is an exciting opportunity to join Lifebit’s growing User Success team.
Your broad responsibilities will include: owning engagement with a diverse group of users across industries; creating user documentation and webinar videos, performing platform demonstrations for clients and users, support client managers, on-boarding clients and developing existing solutions to streamline internal/external processes, and developing a deep expertise in industry best practices and workflows in bioinformatics technologies and how they are applied on cloud or on-premise HPC infrastructures.
