Job Description:
This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing team in the heart of Kendall Square. We provide multiplex assays to medical researchers around the world. Software to design experiments, analyze instrument data, and present the results is an essential component of the product. We are in the process of expanding the set of software tools that will be available to our customers. This opportunity is for a software engineer to develop and support web-based applications. The candidate will work as part of a small team of software developers to deliver and support applications for in-house scientists and business development team members, as well as users at customer sites. Our end-users are typically wet-lab biologists; a key design goal is simplifying the user experience, delivering sophisticated and high quality data analysis without need for scripting or programming on their part. Applications include textual analysis of biological literature, online database mining for assay interpretation, and statistically based experiment design tools. The tool http://www.fireflybio.com/portal/search provides a flavor of our work. About You: You should have a demonstrated ability to work and think independently and creatively. Our development projects are not delivered with detailed specifications, but as user requests to be solved by whatever means most appropriate. So, you will be expected to understand and explore the design space of alternative solutions. You should be able to recognize requests in the larger context of platform development, and deliver special requests as part of a new general capability. You will have a passion for writing elegant, compact, maintainable code. If this sounds like you, please read on and apply!
