Job Title

Direct message the job poster from affix Product: SaaS - Genomic Information Management System Employees: 10 Work style: Hybrid, 2 days a week in office (Carlton) Tech stack: AWS (serverless), Python (Flask APIs), React (web portal), Splunk The Story Transcendomics is an innovative company established in 2024 to scale clinical genomic testing across Australia and beyond. Their product, Genomical, is a marketleading Genomic Information Management System (GIMS) that makes genomic testing safer, easier, and scalable for laboratories. Genomical bridges gaps in the genomic test workflow by automating data workflows and securely storing genomic data in a cloudbased platform. Theyre building critical infrastructure that supports clinical organisations and pathology laboratories in delivering lifechanging genomic tests. The Role As a Senior Software Engineer, you''ll contribute to the development and improvement of core APIs for their proprietary orchestration service and web portal. You''ll work on secure, fullstack systems in AWS with a focus on integration, automation, serverless architecture, and cloud security: Design, build, and maintain the next generation of backend services and workflows in AWS (Step Functions, Lambda, Batch/ECS, RDS) to orchestrate complex clinical genomics pipelines. Develop and evolve Python/Flask APIs and the React portal used by labs for data submissions, test configuration, and to monitor workflow status. Implement and maintain integrations with thirdparty genomic tools and vendor APIs, handling increasing complexity of data flows, edge cases, and longrunning jobs. Improve and operate the platform infrastructure and software delivery pipeline (CI/CD, IaC, Observability, Security) in a highly regulated environment. What You Bring To The Role You bring senior, endtoend engineering capability: strong AWS serverless and platform skills, solid backend development in Python/Flask, meaningful React/frontend experience, good data and SQL instincts, and the ability to design, document, and ship robust system integrations and workflows in a regulated environment. On top of that, you bring curiosity to learn genomics and HL7 FHIR, comfort collaborating closely with product and customers, openness to feedback, and a pragmatic mindset that balances building new features with security, reliability, and maintainability. Why Join? Joining Genomical offers a mix of meaningful impact, hard technical problems, and broad ownership that is rare in most roles. Youre working in a domain that matters: clinical genomics. The platform underpins how hospitals and accredited labs run genomic tests that directly influence patient care, so your work improves reliability, speed and safety in a genuinely highstakes environment. Genomical is effectively defining a new category, a Genomic Information Management System (GIMS), and is currently the only company doing this for clinical labs, so you help shape and advance what becomes the industry standard rather than just iterating on a legacy product. Technically, the role is rich and varied. You work across AWS serverless architecture, Python APIs, and a React portal, plus CI/CD, observability, and security. The problems are nontrivial: orchestrating large, spiky genomic workloads; integrating with multiple evolving vendor APIs; encoding complex branching workflows; and doing it all under strict security, compliance and dataresidency constraints. You get genuine platformengineering scope rather than being confined to a narrow feature lane. You also get a lot of ownership and learning. The team is closeknit, collaborative and transparent: engineers participate in discovery, design, roadmap discussions, and customerfacing technical conversations. Theres room to push on automation, CI/CD, observability, and new capabilities like analytics or AIassisted operations. From a career perspective, you join at a growth but derisked stage: the product has a eightyear history, customers, and clear expansion paths across Australian labs and into AsiaPacific. You get the upside and influence of being an early team member, with the peace of mind that comes from proven productmarket fit. Culturally, there is strong emphasis on worklife balance, psychological safety, and constructive feedback, making it a good environment to do complex work sustainably. Next Steps Hi were affix.
