Karius | Redwood City, CA | ONSITE | Full-time | Software Engineer or Analyst
Karius has taken the genomic sequencing revolution (NGS) out of the lab to transform infectious disease testing. Traditional testing approaches rely on hypothesis-driven testing, but we directly sequence the pathogen DNA to determine what a patient is infected with.
I am a software engineer without a biotech background. I really appreciate working with a team with diverse backgrounds and having the opportunity to learn many new things. Its nice that Karius is still a startup where you can make significant contributions in one area or broaden your understanding of different areas.
There is a great vibe at Karius: people are happy to come to be at work, there is a lot of maturity, and everyone seems to bring their own special talents into the mix. We have company retreats twice a year and we care about making it possible to experience joy at work.
We are greatly expanding our engineering team this year.
