Computational Genomics, Algorithms, and Machine Learning Engineer in Mountain View

Fri, 17 May 2013 12:45:18 GMT

At DNAnexus we are solving the most challenging computer science problems you’re ever likely to see.

In the last few years, there has been a dramatic development in the world of genomics that has created a huge new opportunity. The price to sequence the full human genome (all of your DNA, not just a sample of it) has fallen to the point were it will soon be affordable for a patient to have multiple samples of their whole genome sequenced to help treat their disease. Want to know what specific gene mutation caused a patient’s cancer? We are building the platform to answer that kind of question. One of the many challenges is the huge amount of data. Think you’ve seen big-data problems? Think again – with each genome comprising 100 GB and months of CPU time to crunch the information, DNA is the next big-data problem, requiring exabytes of storage and parallel workloads distributed across 100,000 servers. We are tackling this by combining web technologies, big-data analytics, and scalable systems on cloud computing infrastructure.

We are a well-funded start-up backed by Google Ventures, TPG Biotech, and First Round capital. Our founders, Andreas Sundquist, Arend Sidow, Serafim Batzoglou are world-renowned genomics and bioinformatics experts from Stanford University.

We are looking for smart motivated people. Ideal candidates will likely know several of the following technologies: C, C++, Boost, Ruby, Rails, HAML, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ECMAScript, V8, jQuery, Flash, Flex/ActionScript, Node.js, Python, Perl, PHP, Amazon Web Services (AWS), SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Solr, Sphinx, Hadoop, MapReduce, ZooKeeper, Hive, Pig, Oozie, HDFS, ZFS, MCache. We obviously do not use all of these, but if you know several of them you are our kind of candidate.

You are a computer scientist with expertise in computational genomics, algorithms, or machine learning, and you aspire to work on challenging compute and data-intensive problems. You may not have a background in all three areas, but you are very strong in at least one area and are able to learn quickly.

Front-End Software Engineer in Mountain View

Fri, 10 May 2013 22:58:48 GMT

At DNAnexus we have data visualization and website design problems that you will not find at any other startup. We are building tools for doctors, scientists, and the public to analyze, manage, and visualize the world's DNA.

It is a brave new world. In the last few years, the price to sequence the full human genome (all of your DNA, not just a sample of it) has fallen to the point were it will soon be affordable for a patient to have multiple samples of their whole genome sequenced to help diagnose, analyze, and treat their disease. This will enable, for example, doctors to determine exactly which gene mutation caused a patient’s cancer.

We are a well-funded startup backed by Google Ventures, TPG Biotech, and First Round capital. Our founders, Andreas Sundquist, Arend Sidow, Serafim Batzoglou are world-renowned genomics and bioinformatics experts from Stanford University. We also recently teamed up with Google to develop sra.dnanexus.com which provides user friendly access to sequence data from many research institutions.
