BACKGROUND

Ginkgo BioWorks is a young company out of MIT with the mission of making biology easier to engineer. We engineer organisms to address fundamental challenges the world is facing today. We aren't trying to study biology, we are trying to build it - constructing, editing, and redesigning the living world. Our bioengineers make use of an in-house pipeline of synthetic biology technologies to design and build new organisms.

RESPONSIBILITIES

You will be working closely with our biological engineers to write the code that provides the backbone for our synthetic biology pipeline. Work may include programming to control robotic DNA construction, automate measurement processes, design genes and genomes, or manage our process workflow for building organisms. It will depend what's most important once you start - this is a fast moving field and we're a young company. You don't need previous biology experience: Ginkgo is a great environment for amazing programmers to learn to hack biology.

REQUIREMENTS

Ginkgo's programming languages of choice are Ruby, Python, C, or DNA, but you must be someone who loves writing elegant code in any language. Most importantly, you should be passionate about engineering biology. Applicants must be able to start within 6 months.
