Mission Bio is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the software engineering team and help build elegant, intuitive interfaces to analyze genomic data.

What you’ll do:

We are a small, fast-growing company and you will work on different projects across the organization. We are building all our systems from the ground-up using the latest technologies so we can iterate quickly and move fast. Some things you will do:

• Design & build user interfaces for customer-facing and internal web applications with a focus on ease of use, visual appeal and performance
• Design and implement novel data summarization and visualization methods

• Good understanding of asynchronous request handling
• Flexibility and comfort with working in a fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environment with evolving requirements
• Experience working with remote teams in an Agile/Scrum environment
