PharmGKB.org @ Stanford University | Software Developer, Web Developer | Stanford, CA | ONSITE | Fulltime | https://www.pharmgkb.org/
Come help advance science and medicine!
PharmGKB.org is a leader in the field of pharmacogenomics, how our genes affect our reaction to drugs. We combine our curators’ scientific expertise with our developers’ coding expertise to catalog and deliver valuable knowledge to our users and collaborators. Our coders gather data from many sources and deliver knowledge to our users via web applications, REST APIs, and desktop applications. We are about to deploy a major new redesign of our site (https://next.pharmgkb.org/) so now is a great time to join.
Applicants are expected to be experienced developers but not required to have biological or medical background. The best applicants will have a clear and working understanding of how to build modern web sites and services while taking the lead on projects in a small team of other developers. A good candidate will be comfortable working with server-side code like Java & Python and modern web frameworks like React and Redux. If you just like coding and building things this may be the right job for you.
Since we are part of academia our work/life balance is excellent. We are work in the beautiful new Stanford Engineering Quad on the Stanford campus. We are a small team so you could have a big impact in this very exciting field.
