Transcriptic (YC W15) | Backend, full-stack engineers | Menlo Park, CA | https://transcriptic.com | FULL TIME; ONSITE Transcriptic is turning biology into an information science by creating a fully automated cloud wet lab. Biologists anywhere can submit and run experiments over the internet on-demand and without investing up-front in a lab facility. The Transcriptic Common Lab Environment (TCLE) takes Autoprotocol (http://autoprotocol.org/), a high-level JSON description of a biological protocol, and executes it on our custom-built robotic workcells. The protocols we handle routinely involve solving constraint programming models with thousands of variables and constraints in order to find a plan that fulfills the scientist's biological intent. Scientists manage their experiments through our web application or via our API. We provide a single platform that controls scientific devices from many vendors, and an interface to control our automated labs.
