Backend Engineer in SF - API for Synthetic Biology @ Serotiny

We design genetic therapies at Serotiny. We’ve built a biologically-aware API to turn genetic engineering from a purely artistic endeavor into an engineering discipline. The results of our software compile down physically to novel DNA sequences, that then compile inside a person’s cells into novel proteins that help cure them of genetic disorders, or aid their immune systems in attacking cancers.

Description
This person will lead the development Serotiny’s biologically-aware API, collaborating with biologists to deploy novel creative algorithms useful in the design of new proteins.

The digital infrastructure is part of a design/build/test loop that couples a finely tuned software architecture with wet-lab mammalian synthetic biology. Serotiny is looking for our first backend developer who is excited to design novel software architectures for synthetic biology.
