Golang / Go Job: Senior Software Developer

Senior Software Developer at Genomenon

Remote › 🇺🇸 100% remote position (in the US)   (Posted May 11 2022)

About the company
Genomenon is an AI-driven genomics company. Our mission is to save and improve lives by making genomic information actionable. We organize the world’s genomic knowledge and put it at the fingertips of clinicians to help diagnose and treat patients suffering from rare diseases and cancer, and to help precision medicine companies create targeted therapies for diseases.

Job description
We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Software Developer who can take direction and run with it, building out new and existing products and features. This role will be involved in our entire stack, both back-end and front-end, and will take ownership of the services they build.

You’ll be working directly in a team of software developers with our CTO, who built several startups (the last of which was acquired by Edmunds.com), and who authors and contributes to many open source projects, including as a member of the Ruby on Rails core team.

We’re a small, but effective development team that values empathy, support, and productivity. As part of our team, you’ll be contributing directly to a product that helps save lives and improve the quality of life for patients with cancer and children with rare, genetic diseases.

What We’re Looking For

Someone who has had a range of experience working with both back-end and front-end technologies, especially for web-based applications as well as for back-end data processing applications and pipelines handling large amounts of textual, genomic, or similar data. Our ideal candidate will contribute great ideas, design, architecture and code to help us continue to build out our solutions for precision medicine in the identification and treatment of cancer and other inherited rare diseases. This is a full-time position, which could be local, working out of our Ann Arbor headquarters (at least after the pandemic, that is), or remote.

We’re currently hiring for three new positions on the development team, so if you don’t have experience in all of the following, that’s OK.

Work directly with CTO, VP of Product Strategy, and development team to develop and build new products and product features for our current products.
Dev-Ops, Server Management, AWS and other VPS

Demonstrated ability to work in a team environment;
