Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Bioinformatics Analyst - **Company:** Oath Inc. - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Microsoft Excel, Data Analysis, Bash Shell, Cluster Analysis, Computational Biology, Data Warehousing, R (Programming Language), Python (Programming Language), Laboratory Information Management Systems, Machine Learning, Odoo, Data Management, Unsupervised Learning - **Published:** September 6, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/bioinformatics-analyst-oath-9933294 ## About the Role * A minimum of a Master's degree with a background in Computational Biology or a related field, with specific expertise in genome sequencing and metagenomics analysis. * Proficiency in Python, R, and Bash, with hands-on experience using Conda and the Nextflow framework. * Experience with quality control and evaluating batch effects in omics analyses, and LIMS/data management proficiency (e.g., Benchling and/or Odoo). * Strong scientific communicator, able to deliver the results of a complex process to audiences with a broad range of specialties and collaborate effectively across disciplines. * Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with the ability to learn, apply, and troubleshoot new methodologies. Preferred: * Academic or industry experience working with plant-microbe interactions and indicators of soil health. * Experience developing high-quality reports for international filings with regulatory authorities. * Modern proficiency with best practices in published bioinformatics toolsets and processing libraries. * Experience developing and evaluating machine learning models (e.g., cross-validation, classification metrics, class imbalance). * Highly responsive, collaborative, proactive, and adaptable to changing project needs. * Familiarity with GoogleSuite, Excel, Slack and similar tools is a plus. ## Description We're looking for a Bioinformatics Analyst to join our Biome R&D team and help translate microbiome and genomics data into decisions that move Oath's science forward. You'll independently develop manuscript-quality reports, figures, and executive summaries that interpret how our internal microbe collection displays plant-beneficial traits in target soils, working closely with our bioinformatics team and a broad network of scientific collaborators. This is a high-impact role for a curious, detail-oriented problem-solver who wants their comparative genomics and data analysis expertise to directly shape real-world agricultural solutions., * Independently produce high-quality reports and communicate key outcomes to both technical and non-technical audiences. * Translate complex tabular and plot-based outputs from high-throughput analysis pipelines into novel hypotheses and action items that drive project success. * Perform statistical analyses, including compositional data analysis (differential abundance, transformations, associations), parametric/non-parametric two-sample tests (e.g., t-test, Mann-Whitney U), categorical association tests (e.g., chi-squared, Fisher's exact test), permutation tests, and association analysis across continuous, compositional, and binary data. * Programmatically generate visualizations - including scatter, bar, box, and heatmap plots, and phylogenetic/hierarchical clustering dendrograms - applying best practices for choosing the right visualization for the data. * Apply unsupervised learning methods (e.g., hierarchical clustering, dimensionality reduction) to interpret pairwise similarities and distances, and work with N-dimensional data structures (indexing, masking, broadcasting, vectorized operations). * Install, run, and troubleshoot prebuilt bioinformatics workflow frameworks, including Conda, Nextflow, QIIME2, and various CLI tools. * Collaborate with colleagues across disciplines to import and export data into Oath's data registries. * Build and evaluate pangenomes, compare proteins across genomes, and perform protein annotation (BLAST-based/HMM-based) to support comparative genomics work. ## Related Videos - [Recruitment Reinvented: Bold strategies and the $10K signing incentive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1068-recruitment-reinvented-bold-strategies-and-the-10k-signing-incentive) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Old tools, new tricks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1916-old-tools-new-tricks) - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [Data Science on Software Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/162-data-science-on-software-data) - [MCP doesn’t suck — your agent does](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100202-mcp-doesn-t-suck-your-agent-does) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
