Invest in your career with a Madrona-funded company.

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 hiring a Senior Software Engineer II, Bioinformatics at Nautilus Biotechnology. Your role will encapsulate the design, execution, deployment, and evolution of systems to drive critical analyses supporting research and development. These systems will gather, store, collate, and expose via API the raw data that drives key research insights. Moreover, you will play a key role in fortifying our data engineering processes to accelerate development of research tools supporting our internal R&D efforts. The individual in this role has a significant opportunity to make a profound, lasting impact on our technology and the company's trajectory.

This position will report to the Associate Director of Software Engineering.
