Counsyl: Medicine is now a software problem. Join us to write code that matters.

Software Engineer - South San Francisco, CA - Full-time

Counsyl's goal is to make 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.

TechCrunch covered Counsyl at our recent tech talk: http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/23/counsyl/

Watch our tech talk "Genomics at Web Scale" https://vimeo.com/63141778

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:

- Working towards a 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 internships.

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

What you'll do:

- Move fast without breaking things :) - Start in the areas you're familiar with, and grow to work on the full stack - Work closely with a small, tight-knit team - Develop algorithms and code for all aspects of clinical genomics, from machine learning to supply chain optimization to insurance billing - Quite literally save lives with your keyboard

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

Apply Today! 

Full-Time Software Engineer: https://www.counsyl.com/jobs/software-engineer/

Product Design: https://www.counsyl.com/jobs/product-design-web-htmlcss/

We have other positions in Sales, in our Genome Center and in Operations. Check them out at jobs.counsyl.com

I applied for a position a week ago and didn't get any feedback. Should I worry or is it normal that it take a time before getting a reply?

Its becoming common now-a-days for recruiter to not to get back to you with one line - "Thank you for sending in your application".

There is no exception. I doubt even if they read application before clicking on "Delete" button.

Thanks! It took me a few revisions...it's surprisingly hard to make a clear set of job listings with just ascii text.

On a related note, if you are semi interested in the Web Dev position but think "pfft, wordpress?", we are open to ditching WP entirely and rolling an in-house site/CMS depending on how persuasive you are ;)
