10x Genomics | Software Engineers, Designers, DevOps | San Francisco & Pleasanton, CA | Onsite

We're a software team of 21 people within a biotech company of over 400. Together, we develop novel products that help deconvolute biology. Scientists have been using our products to understand the process of cancer metastasis [1] and to discover the previously unknown cell type that causes cystic fibrosis [2]. No biological experience is required, but if you're interested, there are an abundance of opportunities to learn!

Our 2018 revenue was $146M which was over 2x of $71M in 2017. Recently, our CEO announced that he's considering taking the company public. [3] We announced a 2019 plan to grow by 50% in headcount and 200% in office space. Last year, we were the #1 fastest-growing private company according to the SF Business Times with "an eye-popping 2,044% spike in revenue" from 2015 to 2017.

You can find out more about our customer facing software at https://support.10xgenomics.com/. We manage our pipelines with Golang, develop analysis code using Rust and the NumPy/SciPy stack, and drive our front-end applications with React/Redux.
