The product: You'll be working on a full stack team building Terra (Terra | Science at Scale ), a flexible platform that allows researchers to perform data analysis in the cloud at previously unattainable scales. Scientists around the world use this platform every day to power world-renowned genomic and medical research, including groundbreaking research on COVID-19.

The environment: A lively, team-based setting where collaboration is key. An organization that values transparency, empathy, diversity, and growth.

  • Integrating with multiple cloud providers (GCP & Azure)
  • Working closely with our partner teams at Manifold
  • Improving tooling, code, testing, CI/CD, and development processes to increase engineering productivity and satisfaction
  • Mentoring and coaching other engineers


Minimum requirements:

  • Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computer Information Systems or comparable discipline
  • 10+ years of software development experience, though exceptional candidates with less experience will be considered
  • Experience in designing & building complex full-stack applications with RESTful APIs backed by a relational database
  • Strong communicator, capable of leading progress on a team through collaboration and influence
  • Experience with cloud computing (preferably: compute, storage, IAM, logging/tracing, databases)
  • Experience in engineering relational databases that scale and are performant
  • DevOps experience and skills (e.g. shell scripting, CI/CD, containerization and runtime environments, etc)
  • Empathetic and humble; committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive team
