Backend Developer in Mississauga, ON

Please note: The role requires the candidate to be onsite at the Mississauga Campus 2-3 days a week

Project Description - Formulation Registration System (FRS) Overview:

• A formulation is a mixture of different substances prepared in a certain way for therapeutic treatment in animals.
• A formulation may include active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) combined with inactive ingredients or just a mixture of the inactive ingredients alone (excipient or vehicle buffers).

Problem or Unmet Need:

• Formulations may be captured in gSheets and ELNs, at best, but there is no standardized registration of preclinical formulations existing within pRED/gRED to enable tracking of formulations used within studies.
• Consequently, data and conclusions (i.e. tox) associated with the use of specific formulations cannot be easily tracked or applied to future research.

Expected Value from FRS:

• Registering formulations in a standardized manner will enable tracking of effects of formulation recipes on animal health, molecule activity and effectiveness, and stability or ideal methods and ingredients.
• Quality of recorded information will be improved by reducing aliases (difficult to search) and entry errors.
• A shared platform for the REDs will foster data sharing across this space and help provide information for study planning and decision making.

Duties Include:

• Design, develop, and maintain software applications on AWS cloud
• Develop and maintain asynchronous and/or synchronous integrations between systems
• Design and optimize SQLand No-SQL database schemas and queries for efficient data storage and retrieval
• Design and optimize domains in ElasticSearch and queries for efficient data storage and retrieval
• Contribute code to other cloud based services written in languages like Java, Python,etc.
• Write and maintain robust suite of tests to ensure the functionality and integrity of the developed applications
• Collaborate cross-functionally with the team to understand user needs and translate them into user-friendly and aesthetic user interfaces
• Collaborate closely with a team of scientists to build tools that assist in ground-breaking biology research

Minimum Qualifications:
