About The Position
At Illumina, we are expanding access to genomic technology to realize health equity for billions of people around the world. Our efforts enable life-changing discoveries that are transforming human health through the early detection and diagnosis of diseases and new treatment options for patients. Working at Illumina means being part of something bigger than yourself. Every person, in every role, has the opportunity to make a difference. Surrounded by extraordinary people, inspiring leaders, and world changing projects, you will do more and become more than you ever thought possible. DNA sequencing is transforming the world of healthcare, biology, and agriculture, and Illumina dominates the industry. The overwhelming majority of DNA is sequenced on our systems, and the sheer volume of the data is growing exponentially. Turning that raw data into actionable insights requires massive scale number crunching, and our DRAGEN software is the heart of this analysis system. On the DRAGEN team we do whatever it takes - FPGA acceleration, multithreading, optimized C++ -- to make a world-class system to diagnose rare diseases and fight cancer. We develop novel biological algorithms, integrate them into our highly efficient analysis system, and prove over and over that we can deliver reliable software that researchers and clinicians worldwide rely on every day. We are searching for software engineers to do hard-core, high-performance work at the core of this system. For each patient/subject we analyze billions of records, and discover the unique variants - mutations - that distinguish this person from everybody else. When we do this well, we enable discoveries that save lives.
