Would you like to work on something truly meaningful? How about joining a biotech startup that develops a revolutionary invention?
At intoDNA we have developed STRIDE, the first platform technology for direct detection of DNA damage. It has been successfully used by leading biotech and pharmaceutical companies and renowned academic groups to accelerate their drug development efforts.
We are now looking for an experienced engineer to join our team. We’re a small team of IT enthusiasts with versatile experience - from recent grads to IT dinosaurs, with degrees in Computer Science and Biotechnology, with past experience in companies of various sizes - from startups to enterprises. We are not here by accident - we’re focused on the impact we can make. Both, directly by making our Science teams more efficient, and indirectly by allowing STRIDE technology to be used by a growing number of customers and drug developments.
Your job, like ours, would be versatile. Even though we have our domains of expertise, we’re all performing varying tasks e.g. integrating our on-premise systems, governing our cloud infrastructure in AWS, maintaining continuous integration tools, extending our analysis platform and image analysis algorithms, and so on. The chances to get bored are close to none. Do not hesitate to reach out if it sounds interesting!
