We are hiring!
DNAnexus aims to become the data platform of the genome era. We’re a Silicon Valley startup, very well funded
by top investors, and we’re building a world-class team of innovators to architect the technology that will
decode the first million human genomes and beyond.

Apply your passion for challenging, scalable, distributed systems engineering to the biggest future data problem: DNA.
Why DNAnexus?
At DNAnexuswe are solving the most challenging computer science problems you’re ever likely to see.
In the last few years, there has been a dramatic development in the world of genomics that has created a huge new opportunity. The price to sequence the full human genome (all of your DNA, not just a sample of it) has fallen to the point where it will soon be affordable for a patient to have multiple samples of their whole genome sequenced to help treat their disease. Want to know what specific gene mutation caused a patient's cancer? We are building the platform to answer that kind of question. One of the many challenges is the huge amount of data. Think you’ve seen big-data problems? Think again — with each genome comprising 100 GB and months of CPU time to crunch the information, DNA is the next big-data problem, requiring exabytes of storage and parallel workloads distributed across 100,000 servers. We are tackling this by combining web technologies, big-data analytics, and scalable systems on cloud computing infrastructure.
We are a well-funded startup backed by Google Ventures, TPG Biotech, and First Round capital. Our founders, Andreas Sundquist, Arend Sidow, and Serafim Batzoglou are world-renowned genomics and bioinformatics experts from Stanford University.
We are looking for smart motivated people. Ideal candidates will likely know several of the following technologies: C, C++, Boost, Ruby, Rails, HAML, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ECMAScript, V8, jQuery, Flash, Flex/ActionScript, Node.js, Python, Perl, PHP, Amazon Web Services (AWS), SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Solr, Sphinx, Hadoop, MapReduce, ZooKeeper, Hive, Pig, Oozie, HDFS, ZFS, MCache. We obviously do not use all of these, but if you know several of them you are our kind of candidate.
Software is our core
Leave your lab coat at home. Our core is building great software, the technology that powers our genomics data platform.
Experience with DNA isn’t necessary, but really strong software engineering aptitude is. Our smallest datasets are
Gigabytes in size, and you should be comfortable with the idea of working on an Exabyte-scale system. Our distributed
systems will scale to 100,000 nodes and beyond.
