Job description:

### About FlowDeploy FlowDeploy builds dev tools for bioinformatics, and we're looking for a bioinformatics engineer. Our [core product](https://flowdeploy.com) is a platform to run bioinformatics pipelines and manage data. We're a very small team, and we plan to stay small until we have strong product-market fit. We're funded by Y Combinator and other notable investors, FlowDeploy is generating revenue, and we can keep going for years without raising additional funding. ### What we value - Working autonomously to maximize impact rather than following orders. I think a former or future founder would thrive in this environment. - Building and running quick experiments, rather than building huge features without user feedback. - Comfortability with transparency and openness, even if it might help potential competitors in the short term. ### What you might work on #### Bioinformatics engineering - Improving our integration with bioinformatics pipelining languages like Nextflow and Snakemake. - Infrastructure for pipeline execution. This is mostly executed through AWS Batch. - Supporting our customers and their bioinformatics pipelines. #### Typical software engineering - Our core API. This is currently written with Express/Node with a Postgres database. - Improving our data management. Most data is stored in S3, with metadata in a Postgres database. - The React app for launching, monitoring, and sharing bioinformatics pipelines and data. ### Requirements - You have experience with infrastructure for bioinformatics pipelines. - You have started a project from scratch. That could be a project you're working on now, a company you founded, or a side project that you built. - You have strong written communication skills. - You know how to navigate the tension between "moving fast and breaking things" and working towards validated infrastructure. #### Nice to have - You have full-stack experience with relevant tech. For this product, that's Python or similar, React or similar, AWS or similar, and Node.js/Express + Postgres or similar. - You have worked in both academia and industry. ### Compensation Cash: around $76k-112k. Equity: 0.75%-1%. We increase compensation for more experience, since it's reasonable to expect this correlates with an increase in skill. We pay for 100% of health insurance, which includes location-specific plans from Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, and Kaiser Permanente. We also offer a mix of other funded (e.g. dental, vision, disability) and available (e.g. hospital, accident) insurance. If you're working in-person: we have a great office space with free snacks, drinks, and lunch.
