At Nautilus, we have a big and important mission: improve the health of millions by unleashing the potential of the proteome to accelerate drug development and enable a new world of precision and personalized medicine. We are developing a single-molecule protein analysis platform of unprecedented sensitivity, scale, and ease of use that we believe will democratize access to the proteome – one of the most dynamic and valuable sources of biological insight. To accomplish this, we are pursuing hard scientific problems with an entrepreneurial mindset and creating a world-class team of builders, innovators, and dreamers across a wide range of disciplines.
We are actively seeking a talented Principal Bioinformatics Scientist in Protein Decoding. To democratize proteomic analysis, we rely on our ability to convert data from our instrument into actionable proteomic conclusions using our Protein Identification by Short-epitope Mapping (PrISM) approach. Your role will involve developing the protein decoding algorithms underlying PrISM which transform raw data into accurate protein identities and quantities for users.
We seek a leader whose communication, strategic thinking, and leadership abilities are as strong as their technical abilities. Your responsibilities will extend beyond the scientific. You'll cultivate a respectful environment, promoting open dialogue and nurturing team growth through individualized development plans. You will anticipate, define, and prioritize future technical directions for the protein decoding algorithms and workflows based on a holistic understanding of our product and customer needs. Research of these approaches is highly inter-dependent on many active research efforts across Nautilus including sample preparation, design of short-epitope recognition molecules, and instrument engineering. With so many moving parts and interactions, change is the expectation. As a people manager, this role requires an ability to maintain focus on key objectives and core principles while managing change effectively. You'll also manage recruitment initiatives for team expansion and set and monitor quarterly objectives.
This position will report to the Associate Director of Bioinformatics. This position is based in either San Carlos, CA, San Diego, CA, or Seattle, WA. A minimum of three days in office, preferred.
