Passionate about making a difference in the world of data-driven precision medicine?

With the advent of genomic sequencing, digital imaging, and techniques for large-scale clinical data processing, we have powerful new weapons in the data-driven fight against cancer. We're on a mission to connect an entire ecosystem to redefine how genomic and clinical data is used for evidence-based medicine. 

On the Lens team at Tempus, we are building a data science platform to make it easier for researchers both inside and outside of Tempus to answer important questions in precision medicine using Tempus’ multi-modal clinical, imaging, and molecular data. Lens integrates our real-world data and advanced algorithms into a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service platform, transforming hypothesis generation and testing into a closed-loop process a single researcher can do in minutes, not an open-ended process a research team works on for months or years.

We are seeking a highly motivated and capable Solution Architect with extensive experience and interest in oncology, real-world data, or genomics. Top candidates will also have experience working with cloud computing technologies, working with academic and foundation prospects and customers in pre- and post-sales engagements, as well as implementing machine learning and/or statistical models.

What you’ll do

As a solution architect on the Lens team at Tempus, you’ll be on the front lines as we build and launch collaborations with academic and foundation partners in which we provide them with direct access to Tempus’ data and tools for the first time. You will be at the forefront of our implementation strategy for a brand-new customer enablement strategy, helping drive adoption and scalability. You will be helping guide customers through using the Lens platform to apply cutting-edge data science techniques to unique cancer datasets. You will be engaged with customers throughout their time working with Lens, including training and onboarding, filtering for data of interest, and the design and implementation of customer data science and analytics use cases. You will also work closely with the Delivery Operations and Alliance Management teams to get datasets into customers’ hands. 

Our solution architects should be comfortable on a whiteboard designing a potential retrospective study with primary investigators and their teams or in a boardroom with executives from major academic and regional health systems, providing trusted technical advice for our partners and clients. Additionally you will be embedded within our Real World Data and Translational Research teams, helping make sure customers are using the latest-and-greatest standards and practices for using Tempus data and tooling.

Requirements:

  • Advanced degree (Masters or PhD) in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistics, computer science, or related field, or 3+ years experience working with genomic and clinical data
  • Experience working with statistical modeling, data mining and/or machine learning methods
  • Proficiency in R, python and/or other programming languages.
  • Experience with software development and the AWS or GCP technical stack
  • Experience with engineering practices for research computing (Docker, Git, Github, code review, Linux, cloud computing, etc)
  • Strong project management and post-sales skills: understanding and qualifying customer requirements, supporting customers in making progress against a roadmap, aligning scientific results with business outcomes
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Nice-to-have:

  • Familiarity with standard bioinformatics pipelines
  • Familiarity with the academic research landscape in oncology
  • Experience putting data science workflows into production
  • External outreach or education (consulting, giving talks, teaching, open source contributions)
  • Experience with SQL or other query languages

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Tempus’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
