Bioinformatics/Scientific Algorithms Developer (R and/or Julia)

Chai brings biotechnology into the real world, allowing anyone to perform molecular diagnostics, anywhere. Our solution is accurate as a lab test, costs 10x less, is easy enough for anyone to use, and provides on-site results in as little as 20 minutes.

Were looking for a bioinformatics developer to implement algorithms for our qPCR device. Applicants should be:

1. Highly skilled in Julia or R programming language. Julia is preferred, but developers with strong R background who are willing to learn Julia are welcomed to apply.
2. Experienced in working with scientific data sets such as curve fitting, clustering, etc.
3. Familiarity with qPCR and qPCR algorithms like baseline subtraction, Cq calling, deconvolution, quantification, etc. is a plus, but not required.

I will share our website with shortlisted candidates for getting an idea of what youd be working on.

Were seeking immediate help (10 to 20 hours/week) to debug Julia algorithm performance for our qPCR device software. This can turn into a part-time, on-going engagement for new feature development such as multi-channel melt curves, deconvolution algorithm for additional optical channels, and quantification methods for test kits.

When applying, please describe the projects youve worked on most relevant to this job, and explain your role on the project. Links to open source contributions are great too if you have them.
