HHMI is focused on supporting and moving science forward in a variety of different ways ranging from conducting basic biomedical research, empowering educators, inspiring students, developing the next generation of scientists – even stretching into film and media production. Our Headquarters is in the greater Washington, DC metro area and is home to over 300 employees with expertise in investments, communications, digital production, biomedical sciences, and everything in between. The work housed here supports and augments the groundbreaking research conducted in HHMI labs across the nation. As HHMI scientists continue to push boundaries in laboratories and classrooms, you can be sure that your contributions while working here are making a difference.
This is a role for someone who still writes code, still reads the pull request, and is just as comfortable sitting with a finance or HR lead to work out what they actually need.
This role will lead a team of developers and analysts who build the custom tools that sit between HHMI’s enterprise systems. Think workflow automations, departmental applications, and the platform behind the Institute’s internal communications. The work supports administrative teams at Headquarters and Janelia, and it fills the gaps no off-the-shelf product covers.
HHMI is moving its collaboration platform and custom applications to a new environment and cloud platform. At the same time, the team is making AI-assisted development its normal way of working. This role will lead both efforts, and keep the lights on while doing so.
This role will work closely with Operational Capabilities leadership, Enterprise Architecture, the Everyday AI team, IT Services, Science and Investments Capabilities teams, and partners across the Institute. This position sets the standards, serves as lead architect for the team’s solutions, and is accountable for what ships.
This position works on a hybrid schedule, reporting in-person three days a week to our headquarters in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
