Overview

The data products that power COTA’s mission to bring clarity to cancer are built cross-functionally by the Product, Engineering, Medical, and Operations teams. A Lead Interface Engineer works with these teams as well as external parties to ensure our efforts are aligned and focused on achieving the right solution. This role is responsible for leading an engineering team to develop and maintain data pipelines.
