  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical documentation skills. Comfortable with ambiguous or unknowns and able to solve problems.
  • Self-motivated to come up with possible solutions. 
  • Experience developing cloud-native applications on AWS, including modern distributed, serverless, or event-driven architectures.  
  • Ability to understand scientific methods and analytical workflows and translate them into scalable, maintainable, and production-ready software solutions.  
  • Experience integrating analytical, scientific, or data-driven workflows into enterprise software platforms.  
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools to understand existing codebases, modernize legacy solutions, and improve engineering productivity.  
  • Strong understanding of software architecture, testing, debugging, and software development best practices.  
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across Science, Data Science, Product, Quality, and Engineering teams.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

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.
