Our software team currently consists of three dedicated developers who focus full-time on designing tools for lab scientists and the growth of the MySQL database. This team is supported by three bioinformaticians who work closely day-to-day with the software group and carry out many of the same responsibilities, as well as three full-time data scientists who contribute to our stack daily.

 

Together we have built the framework of our code base and the structure for our database. We care deeply about cultivating a code base that is a joy to collaborate in, and we strive for good practices with sensible implementations: git version control, unit tests, code review, and communication of design decisions.

 

As a team, we strive to understand the needs of departments across the company and aim to develop bespoke solutions that improve everyone’s day-to-day work. The applications that we have built are used daily throughout the company and have improved sample tracking, data collection processes, and data analysis pipelines.

 

At Bactobio, we're a diverse, growing team bringing together many expertises, and we're all learning. For this role, we are particularly interested in applicants who have or are transitioning their careers from a scientific field into software development.
