Job Description SummaryUs: a team on a mission to build tools that enable rapid analysis and exploration of massive genetic datasets (10s of TB and tripling yearly). We are dedicated to open science and all our work is open source. We currently develop in Scala, Spark, Python and C/C++ but will use any tools we need to get the job done. You: a soon or recent graduate with a B.S. or B.A. in Computer Science or a related field, able to start in the Summer of 2018. You solidly understand data structures and algorithms. You can quickly write clear, correct code to solve non-trivial but well-defined problems. Key to our success is growing a strong team with a diverse membership who enable and support the growth and success of one another. Self-improvement is a fundamental part of our culture; we want to grow great engineers. Towards this end, we are committed to seeking applications from women and from underrepresented minorities. We know that many excellent candidates choose not to apply despite their capabilities; please allow us to enthusiastically counter this tendancy: If you are a software engineer who is eager to grow personally and help grow our team, then we encourage you to apply.
