Junior Algorithm Development Intern

What if your internship project could influence how genomic variants are detected in a real clinical technology?

At SOPHiA GENETICS, we are building the future of AI-assisted, data-driven medicine. Our technology helps healthcare professionals make sense of complex multimodal data, with the ambition of improving outcomes for patients with cancer and rare diseases.

Behind that mission are some difficult scientific and computational questions.

One of them is this: how do we make sure our algorithms identify complex genomic variants as accurately and efficiently as possible?

That is where you come in.

Join our Data Science – Algorithm Development team in Rolle, Switzerland, for a six-month internship as a Junior Algorithm Developer.

You will work on a real challenge within our Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) product: benchmarking our in-house structural variant (SV) calling solutions against leading external tools for germline variant calling.

The evidence you generate will help our team understand where different approaches perform well, where they do not, and ultimately inform decisions about how our WGS technology should evolve.

You will get hands-on with genomic data, algorithms and production-scale computational infrastructure.

You will:

• Build the benchmark. Install and run external WGS variant-calling pipelines on SOPHiA GENETICS' compute
