ReadCoor | Hardware Software Engineer and Pipeline Software Engineer | Cambridge, MA | ONSITE, REMOTE | <a href="
ReadCoor is a company developing a platform for DNA sequencing in 3D tissue. We are a multidisciplinary team of biologists, chemists, hardware and software engineers building this technology to assist in the next leap of biological research and discovery.
Why 3D Spatial Sequencing?
Current state of the art DNA sequencing will tell you what raw "source code" you have. Various RNA sequencing technologies and recent single cell techniques will give you "runtime configuration" information. These techniques will tell you what molecules are present in a tissue, but they do not tell you where the molecules are located.
Our sequencing technology maps their location in exquisite detail. We can, for example tell you not just that a virus’s DNA was found in a sample, but also allow you to view the intact tissue and see which individual cells were infected. We apply this technology to all areas of biomedical research including infectious disease, neuroscience, and cancer biology.
Pipeline Software Engineer
Our backend pipeline engineering role is responsible for building and scaling out our ingestion and processing pipeline.
This pipeline uses a lot of python (numpy, scipy, skimage, pandas, dask, zarr to name a few libraries) to process individual tissue samples which range in size from 1-5 TB of images (and growing).
UI Developer
Our UI Developers are responsible for creating our web-facing data visualizations and statistical tooling as well as working with the hardware engineers and biologists to create cutting edge sequencing interfaces.
Our UI team uses JS, focusing primarily on React/Redux and Typescript.
Bioinformatics Developer
Our Bioinformatic Developers are responsible for interfacing with our biologists, primer design, and creating bioinformatic pipelines and analyses to support our three-dimensional spatial sequencing.
Our bioinfomatic team uses python and a suite of AWS services to facilitate
If you are not a Software Engineer, we're also hiring all sorts of scientists!
