Job Description

About Encodia Encodia is a rapidly growing platform company that is developing a new generation of protein analysis tools based on single-molecule protein sequencing. Our goal is to make protein sequencing easy and ubiquitous by using a novel reverse-translation technology that turns peptide sequences into DNA. The DNA can be read by a DNA sequencer, providing a path to breakthrough proteomics research at a scale that is not practical or cost-effective using current technologies.

Job Summary We are seeking to recruit a bioinformatics scientist with experience in developing algorithms, creating machine learning models, and analyzing complex data to help us develop algorithms to enable analysis of novel forms of proteomics data.

Job Responsibilities

• Designing, implementing, and maintaining algorithms and tools for the analysis of novel kinds of proteomics data.
• Building machine learning models of complex biological systems.
• Developing and managing analysis pipelines in production environments.
• Collaborating across functions to identify and address analytical needs.

REQUIREMENTS

• PhD in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related field.
• Experience analyzing large scale data, and familiarity with statistical analysis and machine learning.
• Familiarity with genomic (DNA/RNA sequencing) data analysis.
• Self-motivated with the ability to work with and support multiple groups across the organization.
• Programming experience in Python as well as some strongly typed language (e.g., C/C++/Java).
• Experience with command line Linux environments.
• Experience using and configuring cloud-based computing environments (e.g., AWS/Azure).
• Knowledge of git or other version control systems.
