Boston MA, United States Ginkgo Bioworks Inc. Full time

Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer. Ginkgo is constructing, editing, and redesigning the living world in order to answer the globe's growing challenges in health, energy, food, materials, and more. Our bioengineers make use of an in-house automated foundry for designing and building new organisms.
We design, build, and test organisms to address fundamental challenges the world is facing today. Ginkgo bioengineers use our foundry-a custom-built, centralized set of robotic lab equipment and software-to build the organisms that solve these challenges by making critical natural products, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and more. Great software engineering is crucial for us to build and run foundry services and generate and organize the data needed to create biological insights. We are looking for an expert leader to helm our software engineering strategy and deliver solutions for our scientific research and operations teams.


Your job is to deliver a software platform to make biology easier to engineer.


You will own the overall engineering strategy to ensure our software infrastructure and products continue to scale while meeting Ginkgo's evolving needs. You will work with Product leadership and internal customers to identify the most impactful ways to leverage software development capabilities to build an industry-leading bioengineering platform and deliver on a wide variety of programs in fields ranging from healthcare to agriculture to industrial manufacturing. Your team will own the development of new software as well as the integration of commercial off-the-shelf software into our overall ecosystem.


To succeed in this role you need a working knowledge of delivering scalable software under evolving conditions, a keen sense of buy vs build tradeoffs, experience working at the intersection of biology and technology or at least a deep interest in the subject, and be skilled at balancing priorities across multiple initiatives and stakeholders. Define, maintain, communicate, and execute Ginkgo's Software Engineering strategy and roadmap.
Define and implement processes and metrics (OKRs) to ensure consistent, high quality delivery of impactful software solutions.
Head the development and implementation of scalable, robust software solutions that enhance our program offerings.
Drive the buy versus build strategy for software

Build and mentor a high-performing team of software engineers
Oversee recruitment, training, and professional development of engineering staff.
Manage the budget and resources of the software engineering function, creating room for innovation.
Implement best practices in software engineering and ensure adherence to quality standards.
Champion and implement continuous process improvements to enhance productivity.

Drive the product development lifecycle, from concept to deployment and iteration.
Meet strict timeline needs of existing biological programs while integrating those requirements into a scalable, reusable platform.
Stay abreast of the latest trends in software engineering, integrating new technologies and methodologies including AI as appropriate.

~ Collaborate with cross-functional teams to innovate and deliver high-quality programs.
Collaborate closely with legal, compliance, and IT security teams to stay abreast of evolving regulations and lead the development and implementation of data security and privacy strategies across all software engineering efforts.

Typically 15+ YOE plus PhD (or equivalent experience with a Bachelor's in Computer Science or related field), including scaling up teams and coaching/developing leaders.
~ Demonstrated ability to lead the development of intricate software systems using modern cloud-based technologies
~ Demonstrated ability to clearly articulate and execute software engineering strategies
~ Deployment of Agile, DevOps, and SRE practices across multiple teams
~ 10 years of management experience

We also feel that it's important to point out the obvious here - there's a serious lack of diversity in our industry, and that needs to change. Our goal is to help drive that change. Ginkgo is deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in all of its practices, especially when it comes to growing our team. Our culture promotes inclusion and embraces how rewarding it is to work with people from all walks of life.
We're developing a powerful biological engineering platform, so we must remain mindful of the many ways our technology can - and will - impact people around the world. We care about how our platform is used, and having a diverse team to build it gives us the best chance that it's something we'll be proud of as it continues to grow. Therefore, it's critical that we incorporate the diverse voices and visions of all those who play a role in the future of biology.
It is the policy of Ginkgo Bioworks to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees, employment applicants, and EOE disability/vet.
I understand that I am applying for employment with Ginkgo Bioworks and am being asked to provide information in connection with my application. I further understand that Ginkgo gathers this information through a third-party service provider and that Ginkgo may also use other service providers to assist in the application process. Ginkgo may share my information with such third-party service providers in connection with my application and for the start of employment. Ginkgo will treat my information in accordance with Ginkgo's Privacy Policy . By submitting this job application, I am acknowledging that I have reviewed and agree to Ginkgo's Privacy Policy as well as the privacy policies of the third-party service providers used by Ginkgo's associated with the application process.
