20n | San Francisco | Full Time, ONSITE | <a href=" | Genetic engineering, Machine learning, Data Mining, and Bioinformatics
Biology is severely under-utilized. 20n (YC W15) fixes that using software predictions to create cells that produce materials, pharmaceuticals, and other products. As our first demo, we created an organism that eats sugar and produces Paracetamol -- the active ingredient of Tylenol. This is the first biological/sustainable/eco-friendly means of making it.
20n has existing Fortune 500 customers with great incoming revenue. We are also backed by Khosla Ventures, YCombinator, and DARPA. Our core technology is a data mining and machine learning platform for biological data. We routinely distribute using Spark, write approximation algorithms for NP-complete problems, and push the software predictions to robots that build the microbes at lab-in-the-clouds. We are looking for experts in genetic engineering, machine learning, and algorithms, who want to engage in new ways to manipulate and use biology!
