Job Description:
We are seeking software engineers for our growing team in order to improve and scale our existing technologies for our future Foundries. You are the ideal Bioinformatics Analyst if you love working closely with a team in a collaborative environment to deliver high-quality data and strains. We especially need your expertise in summarizing and displaying complex primary data into actionable metrics to inform the next round of strain engineering. And, we need your enthusiasm for efficiency and understanding biology to help us meet our mission of making biology easier to engineer. Responsibilities:
Additional Info:
Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer. Ginkgo is constructing, editing, and redesigning the living world in order to answer the globe’s growing challenges in health, energy, food, materials, and more. Our bioengineers make use of an in-house automated foundry for designing and building new organisms. Today, our foundry is developing over 40 different organisms to make different products across multiple industries. Our approaches are designed to scale the construction of new microorganisms 100-1000x over traditional bench-top engineering via the development of custom software and automation tools. To learn more about Ginkgo, check out some recent press: Ginkgo Bioworks secures $275 million in Series D, valuing the company at over $1 billion (TechCrunch) Can This Company Convince You to Love GMOs? (The Atlantic) Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Pour Into Hacking Microbes (Forbes) We also feel it’s important to point out the obvious here – there’s a serious lack of diversity in our industry and it needs to change. Our goal is to help drive that change. We hope to continue to build a company whose culture promotes inclusion and embraces how rewarding it is to work with engineers from all walks of life. Making biology easier to engineer is a tough nut to crack – we can’t afford to leave any talent untapped.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
