Bioinformatics Engineer

Bioinformatics Engineer — Genomics PlatformWe're on a mission to accelerate scientific discovery and enable a healthier future by unlocking a new level of productivity for researchers worldwide.Our sequencing services are used daily by thousands of innovators—from leading academic labs to top global pharmaceutical companies. We started by transforming plasmid sequencing—making it dramatically faster and more affordable through cutting-edge technology and a globally distributed lab network. Now, we're expanding that same model across the entire genomics landscape.With the launch of new RNA-seq capabilities, we're taking a major step toward our vision: making sequencing universally accessible—faster, simpler, and more cost-effective for scientists everywhere.The RoleAs a Senior Bioinformatics Engineer, you'll help build the engine powering this transformation. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role where you'll:Design and deploy high-performance bioinformatics pipelines that process thousands of samples dailyDevelop novel algorithms to transform raw sequencing data into accurate, actionable insightsIntegrate cutting-edge tools into scalable, production-ready workflowsDebug and optimize pipelines handling real-world biological complexityTranslate complex outputs into intuitive, user-friendly scientific experiencesCollaborate closely with a fast-moving, interdisciplinary teamMentor peers while continuing to grow your own expertiseWhat We're Looking ForYou're someone who:Takes ownership and thrives in fast-paced, high-autonomy environmentsIs deeply curious about biology, algorithms, and software engineeringIs motivated by the real-world impact of accelerating biotech and medicineCommunicates clearly and enjoys supporting team growthQualificationsPhD in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Statistics, Physics, or related quantitative field3+ years building production-grade bioinformatics pipelinesCore expertise in at least one area:Microbial genomics (assembly/metagenomics)Variant calling / large-scale genomicsBulk or single-cell RNA-seqTechnical experience:Nextflow or Snakemake (production + cloud deployment)Strong foundation in sequence analysis (alignment, assembly, etc.)Experience with Illumina or Oxford Nanopore dataPython (NumPy, Pandas, BioPython, Jupyter)Docker / containerization toolsGit-based workflowsLinux and production-level scriptingLarge-scale genomic data processingNice to HaveExperience with C++, Rust, or other compiled languagesInterest in scientific data visualization / UXWet lab biology experienceHistory of developing novel bioinformatics methodsWhy Join?You'll be part of a team building one of the most efficient genomics engines in the world—processing data overnight, scaling globally, and helping scientists move from samples to insights faster than ever before.If you're excited about pushing the boundaries of genomics and making a tangible impact on the future of biotechnology, we'd love to hear from you.
