Counsyl is a medical genomics startup with the goal of making the human genome practically useful for life-altering decisions. Over the last few years, we’ve grown from a Stanford dorm room to become one of the largest clinical genome centers in the world. Our pre-pregnancy genetic test is now prescribed by physicians for more than 2.5% of all births in the United States.

The cost of sequencing human genomes is plunging - over 5x faster than the cost of computing; the potential impact on preventive healthcare and the medical landscape is boundless. The science is there but the scale isn't. That's where Counsyl comes in. We are building the technology platform to make genomics useful and accessible to everyone.

Software is at the heart of Counsyl

The vast majority of our operations are powered by our own custom-built infrastructure on a Python/Django/Postgres stack, from ordering to lab processing to billing. We’re building new tools, new workflows, and new infrastructure to solve the challenging problems of a technology startup involved with not just bits, but also interconnected physical components like lab robotics and patient samples.

Don’t be intimidated if you don’t have a genomics background; solving these problems fundamentally requires software solutions. We’re looking for the best and brightest software engineers — strong generalists with solid CS fundamentals and practical software engineering intuition — to help us scale up genomics to billions of users.

Prerequisites:

- BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science or equivalent experience

- Strong software engineering fundamentals: design, testing, version control

- Significant independent programming experience as demonstrated by a GitHub account, personal web page, or prior experience.

- We like to see experience with:

* Python, Django, CoffeeScript, Backbone.js, Bootstrap, HTML5, CSS

* NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn

* Relational database systems, such as PostgreSQL

* Unix, Git, and other command line tools

Perks:

-Competitive compensation and benefits

-Generous equity package in a fast-growing startup

-Catered meals every day plus a fully stocked kitchen

-On-site gym access to work it off

-Dry cleaning and laundry service

We're hiring server-side JavaScript/Node.js developers to develop high-performance and highly-scalable event-driven features which will provide the backbone for cloudhub.io. CloudHub is our PaaS which recently won the SIIA Software CODiE Award for Best Integration Solution. This is a greenfield project so there is tons of room for you to be creative, solve impossible problems, try new technologies and make your personal mark on things. In addition you will also have the opportunity to develop client-side SPAs using JavaScript and frameworks like Ember and Angular - if you like. We're looking for developers active in the open source community (we're an open source company) and most of our team are open source contributors. It's a great and exciting company, fun team and we're offering excellent compensation and equity.
