Senior Sapio LIMS Developer
Remote - US
Employment Type: Contract-to-Hire
Experience Level: Senior (5+ years LIMS, 2+ years Sapio)

Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Sapio Developer to help us evolve our Sapio platform in support of company growth and the consequential increase in laboratory throughput. This role is not about starting from scratch; it is about building on and optimizing an existing ecosystem. You will inherit a development backlog and partner with IT and the business to prioritize enhancements, troubleshoot Velox rules, and ensure digital infrastructure keeps pace with clinical innovation.
 
Key Responsibilities

• Backlog Execution: Transform a prioritized backlog of business requirements into production-ready features within the Sapio Velox framework.

• System Optimization: Conduct deep-dive audits of existing Java plugins and Python scripts to improve system latency and user experience.

• Workflow Refinement: Partner with Lab Operations to optimize existing diagnostic workflows and reduce manual data entry.

• Integration Maintenance: Manage and expand integrations between Sapio and diagnostic instruments, EMRs, and other downstream systems.

• Release Management: Own the CI/CD pipeline for the LIMS, ensuring that updates are validated and deployed with the goal of zero disruption to clinical testing.

• Technical Documentation: Reverse-engineer and document undocumented "Day 1" configurations to ensure long-term system maintainability.

Technical Qualifications

• Platform Expertise: 2+ years of direct experience configuring Sapio Sciences (Velox). Must be comfortable with Form Designer, Workflow Architect, and Rule Logic.

• Software Engineering: Strong proficiency in Java (for plugin development) and Python/SQL.

• API Mastery: Proven experience working with RESTful APIs to connect LIMS with external diagnostic ecosystems.

• Diagnostics Background: Experience in a regulated lab environment (CLIA, CAP, HIPAA, or GxP). You understand why validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) is non-negotiable.

• Agile Mindset: Experience working in a sprint-based environment where you can estimate effort accurately and hit deadlines.

• Great to Have: Experience with Mirth and the HL7 framework and standards.

Why this role: Our client is a midcap diagnostic company.  Fresh off recent funding, they’re investing not cutting.  You’ll have the opportunity to be a key technical player in supporting their accelerated growth, giving you both an opportunity to work hands-on with the Lab and the Sapio system but also contribute strategically in terms of how to optimize, standardize and accelerate the launch of new products and partnerships and customers.
