FlowDeploy | Product Engineer, Bioinformatics Engineer| Full-time | REMOTE or ONSITE | https://flowdeploy.com FlowDeploy builds dev tools for bioinformatics, and we're looking for a product-minded software engineer and a bioinformatics engineer. I think a former or future founder would do well in this role. Curiosity matters more than domain-specific experience in bioinformatics, although some bioinformatics context…
This is super cool! It's nice to see commercialization in the bioinfo space, after dealing with bedraggled servers running in your PI's lab for many years and dealing with insane packages (ever try to install QIIME?). I would have loved this job coming out of college.
I don't think anyone has really figured out commercialization in the space yet – us included. The community is still rooted strongly in academia, so commercializing requires a delicate balance between profitability and openness.
I imagine it's what building dev tools was like a couple decades ago. It's fun to see the field grow and evolve.
