InterMine (http://www.intermine.org) is the leading open-source data-warehouse for the life-sciences.

Do you want to create open-source software that makes a difference, using cutting-edge tools? InterMine is looking for a software developer to help create powerful, attractive, user friendly data mining tools to search and display biological data.

InterMine is a major life-sciences data-warehouse project, dealing with interesting, data-centred problems. We bring the mass of data generated by genomics researchers together and make it accessible to researchers. We aren't all scientists ourselves, but we work closely with them. We need you to help us develop a great user experience for interacting with complex and dynamic data models.

You:

* Have a track record of getting things done with the web.

* Are enthusiastic about open-source development

* Care about visual design and user experience

* Care equally about code quality and test coverage.

* Ideally can show us something you are proud of (on GitHub if possible)

We:

* Use the best tools for the job - we have code written in Java, Clojure, Python, CoffeeScript, and we are always able to decide on our tech stack.

* Develop in the open on GitHub - all our code is open source: http://www.github.com/intermine

* Use modern dev-ops tools including Travis and Dokku.

* Are writing a new, extremely flexible data-analysis platform in Clojure, Coffeescript, Angular and React.

* Are a small, friendly team, working closely with a network of collaborators and research partners.

Cambridge is a great place to live, and the University of Cambridge is a great place to work. You will get a competitive salary, very generous leave and pension, as well as other benefits such as flexible working and tax-relief on bikes and child-care. If you can't relocate, we can discuss remote working.
