At Platforma.bio, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing computational biology through our cutting-edge software platform. We aim to empower bioinformatics developers by providing a robust framework and SDK that enables the creation of sophisticated applications tailored for biology use.
Role overview
We are seeking a self-motivated, experienced Golang developer in Backend Platform team with aspirations to become a team lead. Our current structure includes three teams: a Desktop team crafting a user-friendly desktop app (TypeScript, Vue.js, Electron.js), an Backend Platform team developing a powerful engine and workflow language (Go, TypeScript), and a Backend team combining TypeScript's efficiency with C++'s performance. This pivotal role involves overseeing the entire desktop development process — from conceptualization to deployment — ensuring our product not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our community and stakeholders. Reporting to the Head of Development, you'll play a crucial role in shaping the future of computational biology.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the Platforma Backend team's development in terms of choosing technological solutions and their implementation
- Implement assigned technical tasks in a timely and high-quality manner
- Be responsible for the technical backlog
- Ensure the delivery of high-quality, scalable, and performant solutions that meet the specific needs of bioinformatics developers.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the platform integrates seamlessly with other components and services.
- Stay abreast of emerging trends and technologies in software development and computational biology, leveraging this knowledge to keep our platform at the cutting edge.
We expect that you:
- have commercial development experience in Go, understanding of how the runtime works, ability to find and optimize weak points in the code;
- have experience working with relational databases or nosql databases;
- can write maintainable and testable code, as well as automated tests for it;
- are able to independently discuss solutions with other teams if the task requires it;
- can dive into and understand others' code.
Good to have
- Understanding of operating systems in terms of performance (so that you understand what system calls are and how they relate to performance like context switches, fetching data from disk, flushes etc.)
- Experience in writing cross-platform software in Go (Windows, Linux, MacOS).
- Ability to understand side-effects and flaws of algorithms on different scales (high number of records in memory, O(N) of the code logic, memory management and so on)
- Experience in performance optimization of existing code (finding bottlenecks).
What We Offer
- A chance to be part of a groundbreaking platform that is changing the landscape of genomic research.
- A supportive and collaborative work environment where your contributions are valued and celebrated.
- Opportunities for personal and professional growth, with access to resources and training to advance your skills.
- Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and flexible working arrangements.
- Relocation to Spain, Bilbao.
