The Company
We’re the startup behind https://arvados.org/, the free software platform for managing, analyzing, and sharing genomic and other biomedical big data. We recently raised venture funding, and we are looking to expand our engineering team.
Arvados provides the computational and storage infrastructure for precision medicine — health care that leverages the analysis of biomedical data to prevent, diagnose, and treat a wide range of diseases.
As a founding team, we’ve brought together engineers and scientists from the Personal Genome Project at Harvard Medical School and experienced enterprise software entrepreneurs.
