If you have a Ph.D in STEM, why would you not be applying for senior scientist roles? You're far overqualified, and at the same time nearly unqualified, for a junior developer role. That doesn't mean you can't get hired, but it's going to be harder than applying to something your academics highly qualify you for. Find a role where you can advise junior developers -- I work with multiple scientists with advanced degrees, they code some but their real role is to make sure we know what we're coding up and why.
