Job Description:

At 10x Genomics, accelerating our understanding of biology is more than a mission for us. It is a commitment. This is the century of biology, and the breakthroughs we make now have the potential to change the world.

We enable scientists to advance their research, allowing them to address scientific questions they did not even know they could ask. Our tools have enabled fundamental discoveries across biology including cancer, immunology, and neuroscience.

Our teams are empowered and encouraged to follow their passions, pursue new ideas, and perform at their best in an inclusive and dynamic environment. We know that behind every scientific breakthrough, there is a deep infrastructure of talented people driving the life sciences industry and making it possible for scientists and clinicians to make new strides. We are dedicated to finding the very best person for every aspect of our work because the innovations and discoveries that we enable together will lead to better technologies, better treatments, and a better future. Find out how you can make a 10x difference.

About The Role

You will be using your full-stack skills to develop new functionality for our suite of visualization tools, which are used by scientists and investigators across the world to explore 10x Genomics single-cell and spatial biology experiments. This new functionality will help enable more sophisticated analysis of spatial biology, analyze the body's response to diseases such as COVID-19, and make our software easier to deploy and use by scientists.

Our visualization stack is a Go server driving an Electron application, primarily written in TypeScript, though we are increasingly using Rust for high-speed algorithms. You should expect to be writing mostly Go out of the gate, but you will have the opportunity to write more front-end code, or even Rust, should you choose. You will be working with an experienced, senior, innovative team, using cutting edge technology to solve even more cutting-edge biological problems.

To Be Successful You'll Have
5+ years shipping production-quality software
Significant experience writing application-level logic within the web stack, in one or more of the following: Go, Python, Node/Express, Django, Flask or Ruby on Rails.
Experience designing APIs, server architecture, and/or data storage for a web or desktop application
Knowledge of computer science fundamentals, such as basic programming constructs, code efficiency analysis, and source control
Enthusiasm for learning new things, and the capability to pick up new tools independently
Ability to clearly communicate technical topics to teammates with or without software engineering backgrounds

Nice To Have Background And Experience
Hands-on experience writing applications in Go or Rust a significant plus
Experience with image analysis and/or machine learning is a plus
Front-end development (React, TypeScript, Vue, Angular, etc.) and/or visualization tool (D3, Plotly, regl, three.js, etc.) experience using modern web technologies a plus
Background in biology and DNA sequencing is not required. Curiosity goes a long way.
