The mission of the Allen Institute is to unlock the complexities of bioscience and advance our knowledge to improve human health. Using an open science, multi-scale, team-oriented approach, the Allen Institute focuses on accelerating foundational research, developing standards and models, and cultivating new ideas to make a broad, transformational impact on science. The mission of the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is not only to provide state of the art engineering infrastructure to the Allen Institute as a whole, but to also address high-risk, high-reward questions in biology through AI. The role of the Technical Program Manager is pivotal for advancing the frontier of research at the Allen Institute. As we grapple with the complexities of computational biology at scale – be it in neuroscience, cell science, or immunology – the need for robust, scalable, and innovative data engineering solutions has never been more urgent. Situated in the Office of the CTO, the Technical Program Manager will oversee multiple programs addressing scaling of tools and algorithms capable of handling petascale (and beyond) datasets, development and implementation of the Institute’s cloud strategy, and management of strategic partnerships with leading technology companies. Program leadership in these areas will be crucial for ensuring that our researchers have the computational resources they need to make groundbreaking discoveries. The Allen Institute believes that team science significantly benefits from the participation of diverse voices, experiences, and backgrounds. High-quality science can only be produced when it includes different perspectives. We are committed to increasing diversity across every team and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this role.
