Full job description
What We're Researching We're hiring software engineers to discuss the architecture of scalable computational pipelines for genomic data. Building these environments from scratch requires a unique intersection of domain knowledge and engineering rigor. Your feedback will inform how robust bioinformatics infrastructure is designed and deployed.
How It Works You will participate in a remote, AI-moderated interview focused on your engineering workflows. During the session, you will walk us through how you design and build scalable environments from the ground up. We will ask you to detail the specific challenges of handling bioinformatics data and the technical tradeoffs you make. The conversation will flow through your recent projects, architectural decisions, and deployment strategies.
Who This Is For We welcome backend software engineers, bioinformatics scientists, genomics data engineers, and computational biologists with strong architectural experience. You should have a proven track record of building scalable data pipelines from scratch. Ideal candidates will be highly comfortable discussing both the biological domain constraints and the underlying software engineering principles.
