I do the work of Product designer / UX designer / full-stack "engineer" at a research hospital lab in Sydney (moved here from the US a few months ago). I work on a clinical trial, analyzing data, building databases, web apps, maintaining our website (https://phageaustralia.org https://phageaustralia.org) and a bunch of other things.
There's a ton of work, as I'm the only tech person here, but the pace is so different. Maybe it's a combination of working in a hospital lab and working in Sydney — everyone is so chill. Also, there's a "tall poppy syndrome" effect of — if you work too hard and show off too much, other people will get annoyed at you.
My official title is "bioinformatician" but some call it "data scientist" or "research software engineer". There's a massive lack of tech people in this space, so it shouldn't be hard to get a job like this. However, the pay is like... 1/8 of the FAANG world haha.
