Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced Data Scientist to join our multidisciplinary Data Science team. This position can be in either our Emeryville (East SF Bay Area) or Seattle offices. We are a diverse group of statisticians, bioinformaticians, mathematicians, biologists, and machine learning experts who use data to improve all aspects of our business -- from strain design and analysis of test results, to process optimization and high-level business strategy. Our primary projects involve:
Additional Info:
Founded in 2013 and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Zymergen is a technology company unlocking the power of biology. We deliver better economics for products made from biology that are used across industries, bring new products to market faster, and develop novel products. Our proprietary platform uses robots and machine learning to engineer microbes faster, more predictably, and to a level of performance previously unattainable. These microbes, and the products they produce, have broad applications across industries such as chemicals and materials, agriculture, and healthcare.

A key element of our success is our ability to apply the latest in software tools, Big Data technology, and machine learning techniques to challenges in chemistry and manufacturing. Zymergen’s software engineering team plays a critical role in distinguishing our products and systems from those developed by our competitors. Working at Zymergen offers you exposure to a field that makes a difference in the lives of millions of people: low-cost, scalable chemical manufacturing touches everything from how airplanes are built to the frontiers of life-saving medicines. In addition to working at a fast-growing startup, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you are building a future that was the realm of science fiction just ten years ago. Previous experience in a Life Sciences company or setting is not essential. Interest in working at one, and learning about genetics and bioinformatics, is. This position can be out of either our Seattle or San Francisco Bay Area offices. Individuals seeking employment at Zymergen are considered without regards to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
