Software Developer - CausalOmics Platform

About the role

The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg is recruiting a software developer for a project funded by the FNR JUMP programme. The project turns a validated suite of bioinformatics tools into CausalOmics, an integrated platform for causal analysis of omics data that identifies root causal genes and candidate drug targets. The role is based at the Belval Campus and is full time (40 hours per week).

Key responsibilities

• Contribute to the unified, point-and-click user interface.
• Implement interactive visualization frameworks for complex biological networks.
• Develop the core platform architecture connecting preprocessing, network and pathway analysis, causal reasoning, drug target assessment and machine learning modules via robust APIs.
• Set up the cloud deployment infrastructure (SaaS architecture, REST API) so the platform is scalable, reproducible and usable without coding or bioinformatics expertise.
• Work closely with the project's principal investigator and its interdisciplinary bioinformatics and business development team, within the CausalOmics go-to-market project.

Required profile

• Degree in computer science, software engineering or a related field (MSc or equivalent); PhD an advantage.
• Proven full-stack web development experience, including front-end frameworks and back-end/API design.
• Experience with interactive data visualization and no-code interfaces for complex analytical workflows.
• Familiarity with cloud deployment (SaaS, REST APIs, CI/CD) is highly advantageous.
• Interest in or prior exposure to bioinformatics or biomedical data is a plus but not required.
• Strong software architecture and code quality skills, cross-disciplinary aptitude, and excellent English.

The position is offered with the explicit intent that the successful candidate may become Chief Technology Officer or Lead Developer of the planned CausalOmics spin-off after incorporation. The contract is fixed term for 18 months.

What we offer

• A modern, dynamic, multilingual and international university environment.
• An exceptional research environment with strong links to the Luxembourg labour market.
• A unique urban campus with excellent infrastructure.

Applications must be submitted online through the HR system and include a CV, a cover letter describing past experience and future interests, and copies of degree certificates and transcripts. Early application is encouraged.
