St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is hiring Rust software engineers to rebuild the genomics ecosystem in Rust. We work at the intersection of computer science and genomics, and we're trying to build a better foundation upon which genomics can be done using Rust. The primary project we’re working on is a bioinformatics workflow execution engine for local, HPC, and Cloud called Sprocket (https://github.com/stjude-rust-labs/sprocket). You can also check out the other projects we have going on at https://github.com/stjude-rust-labs.

NOTE that prior experience in bioinformatics or biology is NOT required for any of the positions below. You must be interested in learning though! If you'd like to get a sense of what you'd be learning, check out the guide we wrote to teach software engineers about genomics here: https://learngenomics.dev.

I just wanted to say: When it comes to motivation and a good course in a job, you might just be on top. A world renown hospital - i know of it and am from Germany - in that medical area is just awesome.
