Hiring: Haskell at Biotech Startup!

Hello haskell-cafe, I'm an engineer at Karius, a "stealth-mode" biotech startup in Menlo Park, CA, and we're looking to hire a few folks to write software (and we use Haskell!). Currently only hiring locally or with relocation (though that could change in the future, so feel free to get in touch regardless!). We are a team of crazy biologists, engineers, data scientists and clinicians on a mission to change forever the way infectious diseases are diagnosed and treated. We face incredibly interesting challenges in software engineering, machine learning and molecular biology, as we push the limits of diagnostics and genomic technologies. We're hiring computational biologists, software engineers and data scientists. If you're a software engineer, we're looking for experience in front-end, back-end, web development, intrastructure, devops, bioinformatics, and machine learning. We have a varied list of challenges; we build large data processing pipelines to analyze data from in-house DNA sequencers, separate the signal from the noise and extract what we need, and visualize this in ways that are helpful for scientists and doctor; we build web apps and tools for biologists and doctors to use to plan, conduct, and analyze experiments; we work closely with molecular biologists to analyze data generated by these experiments and develop novel computational biology methods. Our technology stack, as of right now: - Python (for bioinformatics) - Rails (for one backend codebase in maintenance mode) - React and ES6 (for front-end interfaces) - Haskell (for infrastructure and new development) - Backed by AWS and Docker We just put our first large Haskell application into production and are planning on continuing with Haskell; this is an opportunity to use Haskell at a cutting-edge biotechnology startup. If any of this sounds exciting to you, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us by emailing Greg Stock atgstock@kariusdx.com. Take a look at our job postings on AngelList https://angel.co/karius/jobs for more detail, though they won't say much about Haskell. You may know me personally from my work with IHaskell http://github.com/gibiansky/IHaskell and my hindent style http://github.com/chrisdone/hindent; Greg Weber is also here at Karius, whom you may know from his contributions to Persistent http://github.com/yesodweb/persistent, Yesod http://github.com/yesodweb/yesod, and Shelly https://github.com/yesodweb/Shelly.hs. -- Andrew Gibiansky
