A Bit About Us:
We are Arcadia Science. Arcadia is a science company founded and led by scientists. Our mission is to transform evolutionary innovations into real-world solutions by openly developing more efficient, replicable, and sustainable ways to leverage the biology of diverse organisms.
The Opportunity:
Building a strong and creative data science team is critical to our success. Arcadia’s ambitious research goals require strategic integration of software engineering, computational biology, and machine learning tools across all aspects of our science. We are seeking experienced, impact-oriented Software Engineers to join our growing team. Our ideal candidate for this role has strong computational skills, experience working in a fast-paced environment, and has a natural engineering mindset. We are looking for excellent builders and problem solvers. Top candidates will have fluency in multiple coding languages (e.g. R, bash, Python), and will easily adapt to conducting analyses on different computational infrastructures such as AWS cloud computing. Given our goal of making our tools as open as possible while respecting the licenses of the underlying software and our translational goals, open source software experience is a big plus. You can learn more about our approach to computing at Arcadia here and check our existing projects on GitHub.
