Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer. We engineer organisms to address fundamental challenges the world is facing today. Ginkgo bioengineers make use of an in-house organism foundry to engineer new organisms for making natural products, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and more.

We're making the code base, compiler and debugger for life. We're looking for a Director of IT to support us as we scale our foundry. You'll be working hand in hand with biological engineers and software developers to ensure the uptime, reliability, and throughput of our organism foundry.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead the overall company strategy
  • Improve and streamline IT processes
  • Manage all wired and wireless networks
  • Provide input on optimizing software development and deployment
  • Maintain uptime and performance of all aspects of our foundry
  • Manage interfacing with lab resources

We also feel it’s important to point out the obvious here – there’s a serious lack of diversity in our industry and it needs to change. Our goal is to help drive that change. We hope to continue to build a company whose culture promotes inclusion and embraces how rewarding it is to work with engineers from all walks of life. Making biology easier to engineer is a tough nut to crack - we can’t afford to leave any talent untapped.

Ginkgo is building an industrialized foundry for organism engineering. Our first foundry, Bioworks1, launched in Spring 2015. We designed Bioworks1 to be a single foundry capable of delivering many organisms to customers in many markets. Already, we're using Bioworks1 to concurrently develop 10+ organisms across multiple species and products.

Core to our organism engineering pipeline is the testing and analysis of our engineered strains. We leverage high throughput screens and selections to measure 1000s of strains at a time for improved production of cultured ingredients. As such, your assay development approaches need to work across multiple hosts and cultured ingredients of interest. If successful, your new screening and selection methods will lie at the center of our next foundry Bioworks2.

The ideal candidate has led the development of genetic screens or selections from conception, piloting, development, validation through to successful operation at scale. Experience with screens or selections based on NGS, biosensors or clever genetic selections are of interest.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Develop and validate new HTP screens and selections for cultured ingredients of interest
  • Apply DOE methods to reduce assay CV and increase reproducibility
  • Scale assays to work on 1000s of strains per week via software + automation
  • Develop and validate new assays to screen candidate hosts for pleiotropic traits such as product tolerance and genetic tractability 
  • Collaborate with software engineers to ensure that all generated data is captured, stored and analyzed in Ginkgo's LIMS

REQUIREMENTS

  • PhD in biology, bioengineering, chemistry, chemical engineering or equivalent with 3+ years industry experience
  • Demonstrated ability to develop genetic screens or selections that *work*
  • Familiarity with software or laboratory automation a plus
