Golang Synthace Ltd Jobs in United Kingdom Paying 100,000 USD a Year

Job Description

We are looking for software engineers to continue developing and scaling our products and infrastructure.

The Project

Named by the World Economic Forum as one of the world's 30 Technology Pioneers 2016, Synthace is re-imagining how we work with biology, exponentially improving the speed and quality of the final results.

This is made possible through our revolutionary cloud based platform for designing biological experiments, simulating them, translating instructions for automated lab equipment, and visualising complex data sets from the results. All of this is done by Antha, which is already impacting how scientists work with biology in major companies like Dow, Merck and GSK.

Antha lowers the level of entry for scientists wanting to introduce automation to their work, while allowing specialist technicians to get even more out of the existing equipment in the labs. It is directly contributing to faster, more efficient research into hard to cure genetic diseases such as Cancer.

If knowing your work is having a positive impact on the world, it doesn't get much better than this.

You'll be working within a tight-knit, friendly and collaborative development team on exciting projects with plenty of technical challenges to get your teeth into.

You won't find any micro-management here - we're all about freedom, trust, enablement and personal ownership. We give you the space to solve complex problems, while offering support if/when needed.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, test, and maintain APIs and services
• Integrate and deploy custom and off-the-shelf software components
• Manage deadlines and priorities in a dynamic environment that blends software and wet-lab development
• Master our current technology stack which includes in different areas: Kubernetes, Go, Google Cloud, Azure, Docker, GraphQL

Requirements:

• BA/BS degree in computer science or equivalent work experience
• Experience with Unix development environments
• Working knowledge of common network protocols (HTTP, TLS, GRPC)
• Seriously well versed in any of the following programming languages: Go (ideally), Python, Java, C, and/or C++
• Working knowledge of HA and distributed systems
• Ability to deliver high quality software to a tight schedule
• Excellent communication skills are also a must in our fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment

Why join Synthace:

• Work with genuinely extraordinary people
• Open, collaborative, and friendly culture
• Challenging, groundbreaking and exciting work
• Chance to be a part of the 'fourth industrial revolution', helping us to create tools and systems that allow scientists to do things like cure Cancer faster!

Salary: £80k-120k depending on experience + equity options

Location: West London.
