At Nautilus, we have a big and important mission: improve the health of millions by unleashing the potential of the proteome to accelerate drug development and enable a new world of precision and personalized medicine. We are developing a single-molecule protein analysis platform of unprecedented sensitivity, scale, and ease of use that we believe will democratize access to the proteome – one of the most dynamic and valuable sources of biological insight. To accomplish this, we are pursuing hard scientific problems with an entrepreneurial mindset and creating a world-class team of builders, innovators, and dreamers across a wide range of disciplines.
Step into a world where science meets software, and your expertise shapes the future of proteomics. We are inviting applications for the position of Senior Software Engineer II, Proteomics Portal Backend to join the dynamic Proteomics Pipeline and Portal (P3) team. Within P3, you’ll be at the helm of designing, constructing, deploying, and nurturing our Portal Backend. We’re seeking an individual with a razor-sharp focus on detail and a relentless drive to excel. Navigating demanding timelines and crafting strategies that align with corporate objectives should be second nature to you.
As Senior Software Engineer II, we anticipate your pivotal role in shaping the team’s ethos and exhibiting technical leadership. The Proteomics Portal serves as a vital consumer facing product where our customers can view, analyze, export, and share proteomics data returned from Nautilus’ Voyager instruments. Does building performant, secure, and scalable backend system that enabling large data visualizations in the order of thousands to millions of rows of proteomic data sounds fun? Does working in a small team to deliver next generation intelligence on proteomics data to further life discoveries in life sciences excite you? Then we want you! Because we’re small team, we want you to own this part of our product portfolio; you have a huge opportunity to be part of a growing engineering organization.
