One Codex is a platform for microbial genomics. We are a technical, experienced (and profitable!) team working on meaningful problems that range from infectious disease diagnostics to outbreak epidemiology to improving our understanding of the microbiome. We work with top researchers, medical institutions, and biotechs, and have processed samples from all seven continents (and space!).

We're currently looking for generalist engineers across multiple positions, including both those who are backend- and frontend-leaning. Our stack includes Python, Rust, and ES6 Javascript, and we write everything from D3 visualizations to low-level bioinformatics algorithms.

Challenges include: (1) developing novel algorithms for analyzing complex microbial communities; (2) working with terabytes of genomic data; (3) building scientifically reproducible analyses suitable for both research and the clinic; and (4) supporting scientists and developers building on our platform with extensible APIs.

We are based in San Francisco, and offer a competitive salary, meaningful above-market equity, and the chance to be an early employee in a well-positioned startup. Benefits include full medical, dental, and vision coverage, a flexible vacation policy and relocation assistance if moving to the Bay Area. We're also willing to sponsor a visa for the right candidate.

10x Genomics | Software Engineer | SF & Pleasanton, CA | Onsite, 10xgenomics.com

We're a biotech company developing novel software, chemical, and microfluidic systems to allow better understanding of biology and our genomes. We're looking to grow our software team of currently six engineers (including myself) to support the rapid adoption of our technology. We've seen a growing number of high profile publications that use our technology (https://www.10xgenomics.com/publications/).

Recently, we released Loupe Cell Browser, a multi-platform native app that @jeffmellen and I have been working on which allows scientists to visualize and make discoveries in single cell gene expression data (https://support.10xgenomics.com/single-cell/software/visuali...). It was recently demoed at AGBT with our 1.3 million single cell neuron data set! Turns out visualizing 1 million points and allowing for interactions is a non-trivial task.

You can also read about (and run if you'd like) our massively parallel pipelines at https://support.10xgenomics.com/. We manage our pipelines with Go, develop analysis code using the NumPy stack, and drive our front-end applications with React/Redux (previously Angular 1), but we're always open to any technology that allows us to develop faster. No previous biological experience is required; we have plenty of computational biologists here to handle that, but there is a lot to learn about if you're curious. You'll work with a group of humble engineers that are alums of YC, MIT, Harvard, Caltech, Google, Facebook, and more.

We're currently hiring for several software roles, but specifically for generalists, UI engineers, QA engineers, and infrastructure engineers. Our computational biology group is also always looking for bioinformaticians who are experienced with NGS, and our company is always looking for scientists and engineers (hardware included). Here are some of the job postings we have up, but feel free to email me if you think you're a good fit for another role.

- Software Engineer - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/274521/

- UI Engineer - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/274522/

- Linux / Infrastructure Engineer - https://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/537730/

- Software Quality Engineer - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/476114/

- Software Quality Engineer (Computational Biology) - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/472908/

- Technical Writer - https://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/558265/

Just a note that we do have an office in San Francisco even though the listings only specify Pleasanton. Our full page of job listings can be found at http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/. Reach out if you're interested in working on high impact, genomic-ly big data problems using modern software development best practices or even if you just want to chat. You can reach me at kevin.wu@10xgenomics.com or @kevinwuhoo.

Grand Rounds | Sr. Software Engineer | San Francisco, CA USA | https://www.grandrounds.com

Grand Rounds was recently named Best Digital Health Company to Work For[1] by Rock Health, and is currently recognized by Glassdoor's as the #2 Best Places to Work[2].

We are also represented on Wealthfront's Career Launching Companies[3] for the second year in a row and are looking for talented Software Engineers to join our mission.

You'll be embedded in an agile team tasked with business problems to solve and a solid, well built platform to leverage. We believe in empowerment through autonomy.

Tenfold Traffic | Search Engine Marketer| Denver | http://www.tenfoldtraffic.com - http://www.davidmelamed.com

Tenfold Traffic is a rapidly growing Digital Marketing Consultancy looking to scale into a full blown agency.

The business is currently a One person consultancy, leaning on 3 contractors to help service the accounts. We focus on Search, Native & Paid Social and offer some SEO and ABM. I am looking to make my first full-time hire and bring most of the outsourced work in-house.

The role requires a strong handle on SEM and Google Shopping best practices, with clarity about how to think about account structures and a unquenchable thirst for knowledge, experimentation and pushing the limits.

Initially, the role will require account management, client communication, report creation and account build outs, restructures and optimization.

I need someone very well rounded for this initial hire, but hope to build a team around and under them, so the role will become more defined and focused over time.

I need someone who excels at asking the right questions of clients to help develop a truly unique strategy for them.

Our main differentiator is deep targeting strategy. We consistently hear from our clients that they never heard ideas like ours from the other agencies they speak to. This is core to our offering. A deeper, more meaningful understanding of the clients, their goals, and their internal decision making processes and mapping that to the channels we are using to deliver a strategy that truly moves the specific needle that needs moving.

Must haves:

  • A clear understanding of all the available levers within Adwords and AdCenter.

  • Clear understanding of Google Shopping strategy, ideally with experience segmenting campaigns by search query intent.

  • Semi-Technical - Know enough to troubleshoot tracking problems, manipulate an XML data feed, tweak css, tweak adwords scripts (javascript, etc... The more technical the better, but a bare minimum of being able to google an issue and troubleshoot it on your own if necessary. 

  • Experience with Excel - Specifically, Index Match, Pivot Tables, Vlookups, etc... A HUGE plus is someone with VBA experience,and using tools like Supermetrics in Excel. 

  • Some knowledge of statistics is important. 

  • Experience using Google Analytics, setting up custom reports, and building many different audience segments for retargeting. 

  • Experience using Unbounce is important.

  • The ability to tell a compelling story from data. 

  • Strong communication skills.
