Job Description
Biotherapeutics and Genetic Medicine (BGM), a part of Discovery Research within AbbVie’s R&D, is a global organization dedicated to the discovery and optimization of innovative drug candidate molecules for biotherapeutic modalities (monoclonal antibodies, multispecifics, proteins, conjugates, etc.) and genetic medicines (AAV, LNPs, siRNA, etc.) across all therapeutic areas.
We are seeking a driven and innovative scientist with expertise in bioinformatics to develop and optimize data capture workflows and visualization dashboards for biologics discovery.
Responsibilities:
Collaboratively design digital workflows or tools to streamline biologics discovery and evaluate improvements in operational efficiency
Test software solutions and identify opportunities for iterative improvements
Proactively identify scientist needs that further our digital transformation strategy and propose solutions to meet them
Pilot new software and AI tools to evaluate utility for BGM
Implement standard analyses and visualizations that balance customization and increased efficiency
Represent BGM to Informatics and external software vendor providers as a technical expert.
Collaborate across groups with different priorities

BS or MS degree in a related scientific discipline or bioinformatics, with typically 5-7+ (BS) or 2-5+ (MS) years of experience.
Strong foundational knowledge of molecular biology and binding and functional assays.
Hands-on experience with commonly used bioinformatics tools and platforms (e.g., Prism, Geneious, Genedata Screener, Dotmatics, Benchling)
Proficiency in Python and at least one other programming language (e.g., SQL, Java, or R)
Demonstrated expertise in data engineering, e.g. retrieving, shaping, preprocessing, and managing large datasets from databases
Proven ability to develop interactive data visualizations and dashboards (experience with Power BI, Tableau, D3.js, or Spotfire preferred)
Experience with collection and processing of assay data, preferably using automated liquid handlers.
Preferred:
Practical experience utilizing relevant programming libraries and frameworks for custom application development (such as Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Streamlit)
Experience with the integration and automation of laboratory instrumentation for data acquisition and reporting
Familiarity with the antibody or genetic medicine R&D and drug discovery process
Proficient in use of agentic AI for bioinformatics engineering tasks
Position will be filled at level commensurate with extent of education, experience, and accomplishment - Scientist I or Scientist II

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
