Advanced backend architectures
Original posting
SVBio: Foster City, CA (next to San Mateo, in the SF Bay Area): Full-time
=========================================================================
SVBio (http://svbio.com/) is looking for the most talented full-stack software engineer with experience and understanding of web architecture design and implementation, following best and up-to-date practices. The work will further enhance the application of our clinical-grade genome interpretation engine. As leaders in the field, we drive the vision of the genome-interpretation product down to the last detail - only modern browsers are supported here!
Knowledge of some specific technologies is greatly desired (see below), but not necessarily required for the right hacker. Knowledge of javascript is a must, as well as the desire to write clean and maintainable code. Knowledge of the genome and next-generation-sequencing technologies is really nice to have, but definitely not required. SVBio is a tightly-knit organization with people from many diverse disciplines and backgrounds, so being an all-around friendly person is a must.
Anyone who is interested should contact me (elicudine -A-T- svbio.com) directly with your background, a resume/c.v., some previous work samples, a github link, whatever you think might help me out.
---Preferable knowledge/experience---
- Significant proven experience, both in frontend and backend technologies.

- Advanced backend architectures (at least one of: node.js, express/hapi/geddy/koa, flask, twisted, django, sinatra, rails)
- Scalable persistency layers (HDFS, Postgres, mysql, mongodb)
- Other tools (grunt.js, bower.js, require.js)
- Testing frameworks (at least one of: chai.js, mocha.js, karma, capybara, cucumber, istanbul, supertest)
