Role
Who you are
- At least 2 years of full-time experience developing software or writing analytical code
- 5 years of full-time experience developing software or writing analytical code
- Excellent collaboration skills in both written and verbal forms, as well as via clear, cleanly written code
- Strong engineering background, preferably in computer science, physics, or engineering discipline
- Proficiency with analytical programming languages (e.g. - scientific Python, Mathematica, Julia, etc.)
- Hunger, curiosity, and motivation to learn about and solve data problems for clients with the rest of the Ganymede team
- Desire to improve software infrastructure for scientists advancing the health and welfare of people
What the job involves
- As a Scientific Software Engineer (SSE), you'll work directly with scientists and engineers to understand their most important problems and automate them away using Ganymede’s platform
- You’ll be the tip of the spear of our efforts to accelerate science, and will have a highly independent and varied role in owning the implementation and success of Ganymede
- SSEs are effectively CTOs for clients’ Ganymede builds; you’ll have substantial autonomy to execute projects end-to-end. Ganymede forms the core data backbone of labs and scientific manufacturing, so you’ll wear many hats:
- Client Owner: Own implementation by working with client executives and users to define and prioritize problems, building a deep understanding of their lab instruments and scientific analysis, and then setting up Ganymede’s platform pipelines to automate these details. You’ll be the expert on your clients’ scientific data, processes, and operations
- Software Engineer: Collaborate with fellow engineers to define the architecture needed for the Ganymede core platform, integrate our web backend and infra into client systems, and develop applications to interact with biotech lab instrument hardware
- Culture Carrier: Be a key determinant of our culture, and will help us grow and set norms for the business as we scale
Our take
Ganymede bills itself as the world’s first Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for biotech software engineering, allowing scientists to quickly import data, connect and integrate apps and instruments, and automate their lab on one platform.
Though it's still early days for the company, the fact that its built an original product gives it an obvious edge. Further encouragement comes in the name of its main early investor BoxGroup, an early-stage specialist which has backed high-growth companies such as Trello, Airtable, and Bowery Farms in their infancy.
That Ganymede’s co-founder Nathan Clark was a Product Manager at Benchling, a renowned startup platform for biotechnology R&D is also a good sign that the company can scale quickly over the next few years.
