At the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research Inc, our mission is to discover innovative medicines that treat disease and human health. The best and brightest scientists need cutting-edge, state-of-the-art computing systems. We’re building an IT organization to deliver just that. How can you help?
We create tools that empower thousands of scientists around the world to accelerate drug discoveries and improve patients' lives. We are looking to hire a talented technical software manager to help build innovative science-focused applications targeted at extending our drug discovery platform. Areas of focus include large-scale service deployments, highly interactive user experiences, data visualization and data modeling of complex scientific domains. At any given time we have over a petabyte of data to manage. Every solution we put in the scientists hands has a chance to help solve a health problem that has never been solved before.
