## Description

We've built the most popular, freely available cloud-based platform for single cell RNA sequencing data analysis - Trailmaker. Trailmaker allows anyone to easily turn their single cell datasets into meaningful biology. With >1200 monthly active users from top tier research institutions across the world, we're offering a rare opportunity to join our team and change the world by building tools that help to improve human health.

The user requirements for Trailmaker dictate a unique set of technical challenges. Handling big data files, running custom data processing pipelines, on-the-fly computation, and providing interactive data visualisations with millions of data points are just some of the challenges our team is busy with!, As a Bioinformatics Engineer II within the Trailmaker development team, you will play a key role in guiding the technical direction of the platform while contributing hands-on across the full stack. You'll collaborate closely with other engineers to architect and build new features that drive user engagement. This is a highly collaborative environment with no division between backend, frontend or testing roles - each engineer contributes to any part of the codebase and is responsible for the entire development process from work planning, through implementation and writing tests to completing the feature.

YOU CAN EXPECT

 * An agile, diverse and multidisciplinary team.
 * A supportive, inclusive and transparent working environment where teammates learn from and help each other all the time.
 * A place to look at things differently, challenge and offer solutions.
 * A small team environment where you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact by actively driving change in technology, processes and culture.
 * A fast-paced environment of continuous improvement, optimised for impact.
