Computercraft is looking for a dynamic Product Manager to help develop and manage cutting-edge web products at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These web products are the preeminent, open source tools and technologies used worldwide to contribute to scientific research and discovery, facilitate the work of clinicians, and improve human health.
As Product Manager, you will work at the center of decision makers, users, and a cross-functional team of scientists and programmers, driving the creation of prominent technology products. You will identify user personas, define and discover their needs, and develop and implement products and features to meet them.
Computercraft has several Product Manager positions open. One will be primarily responsible for NCBI’s extensive portfolio of automated genetic sequence processing pipelines (see one example here). Another will support ClinVar, one of NCBI’s interrelated human genetic information resources. ClinVar aggregates information about genomic variation and its relationship to human health, supporting research, data sharing, clinical application, and patient outcomes.
NCBI has one of the top 400 most visited websites worldwide, and its wide range of applications serve more users and more data than nearly any other U.S. Government agency. NCBI provides free access to petabytes of biomedical and genomic information, and scientists all over the world use its products.

- Expertise in UI/UX and user-centered design
- Ability to balance multiple goals and deadlines under resource constraints
- Ability to incorporate and diplomatically resolve conflicting direction from multiple management, user, and technical stakeholders
- Knowledge of the technical software development process, including Agile technology
What We’d Like:
- Familiarity with public health, biological sciences, molecular biology, or genetic variation
- Formal training or prior product management experience in the biological sciences, particularly molecular biology or bioinformatics
- Demonstrated active involvement in online bioinformatics community forums (e.g., BioStars, SeqAnswers)
- Experience with data visualization, accessibility, Search Engine Optimization, and software QA/testing
