Original posting

Pacific Biosciences (http://www.pacb.com/) | Front-end engineer | San Francisco or Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE We make a DNA sequencing instrument (you put in a biological sample and get back strings of ACTGs). We're looking for help with our Angular 2/Typescript web interfaces. One interface is on the instrument itself (it has a touchscreen that runs full-screen chrome), and the other is a web page that customers use to run analyses on the data that comes off of the instrument. Both are single-page apps that talk to our backends over JSON APIs. We launched a new instrument late last year, and we're growing. Many of our users are labs that do biological research, but there are also some human clinical use cases that our technology is a good fit for. So we're working with a partner to get the instrument ready for clinical use as well. We're a very interdisciplinary company; there's serious physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science going on. There are so many different kinds of nerd jokes, I can't even tell you. The interview process is a phone screen, a coding challenge, and an on-site interview. Here's the job listing: https://chm.tbe.taleo.net/chm03/ats/careers/v2/applyRequisit...
