Do you want to be on the cutting edge of post-genomics science and technology? Do you want to build the next generation of software tools that will enable researchers to identify better therapies for complex diseases such as cancer, metabolic disorders, and CNS?
Gene Network Science (GNS) is a small Kendall Square company that conducts large-scale research using advanced computational algorithms that run on supercomputers. We specialize in large-scale computational approaches for predicting and developing new therapies and diagnostics for disease.
We are seeking talented and scientifically ambitious software engineers to work on production development of our proprietary reverse engineering and forward simulation platform (REFSTM). The successful candidate will work closely with the algorithm development team to add newly developed algorithms into the production platform and the biological applications team to define and implement new functional requirements for the platform. The candidate must be comfortable performing development on all aspects of the system, including the algorithms, data management and modeling, programmatic/scripting APIs, and user interface, as well as implementing automated tests for any of these components. Major upcoming goals will be the optimization of algorithms to scale to larger computational problems and the development of infrastructure required for the application of the platform to different problem areas within biology. The candidate will be responsible for design of new components and maintenance of existing platform code. Must work fluidly with a fast moving, interdisciplinary team, have excellent communication skills and a passion for learning new science.
Required Skills
- BS in computer science or engineering and 4 years of software development experience.
- 2 years of Java experience and some exposure to J2EE or other Java application stacks.
- Experience in developing and optimizing algorithmically intensive applications.
- Familiarity with data analysis using one or more of Mathematica, Matlab, and R.
- Experience with relational database systems.
- Strong communication and team skills.
Compensation includes a competitive salary, health benefits, and stock options. This position will be located in the Boston area.
Gene Network Sciences is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. Preference is given to candidates who have US citizenship or a work permit.
