Project description

Swiss multinational healthcare company that operates worldwide under two divisions: Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics. The company is the world’s largest biotech company with 17 biopharmaceuticals on the market. This particular project is driven by fast-moving, highly interdisciplinary, and technical team of people with the ambitious goal of disrupting Next Generation DNA Sequencing. Our technology fuses active biological and solid-state elements to bring single molecule-based sequence detection to scale. Developing this unique platform requires expertise across a range of fields: Software Engineering, Data Science, Information Theory, Biophysics, Biology, Chemistry, Protein Engineering, Digital and Analog Circuit Design, and Electrochemistry, just to name a few.
As a Senior Software Engineer in the Software Quality Assurance group, Algorithms, you will have the opportunity to work with experts in each of these fields, all of whom are focused on the common goal of bringing our sequencing platform to market. You have to be comfortable with the interdisciplinarity and have a full-stack engineering mindset. Your role is essential to the quality and velocity our R&D and Production paths require.
