This is a full-time, exempt, hybrid role and applicants should expect to work >50% of their time on-site in either our Berkeley, CA or New York, NY office.

At Glyphic Biotechnologies, we plan to create the protein revolution for which scientists and researchers have been waiting. We are developing a massively parallel, single-molecule protein sequencing platform that will transform proteomics and usher in a new era of insights into human biology and disease. To date, we have raised >$50M from venture partners and non-dilutive grant funding to achieve our vision of next generation protein sequencing.

What we are looking for in you

We are seeking an experienced proteomics bioinformatics scientist with industry experience to support Glyphic Bio's development of a next-generation protein sequencing platform. This scientist will be responsible for developing algorithms for the reconstruction, identification, and assembly of protein sequences based on Glyphic Bio's platform technology. This candidate must have demonstrated success in biological science research dealing with protein sequence analysis. The scientist would work cross-functionally with all science teams, report to the Founding Senior Manager, and play an instrumental role in Glyphic's product and assay development. We value exceptional communication and organization habits, and candidates with a tendency toward systems thinking. Direct experience with proteomics data and protein sequence analysis, bioinformatics method development, statistical analysis, and machine learning strongly preferred. This is a full-time, exempt, hybrid role and applicants should expect to work >50% of their time on-site in either our Berkeley, CA or New York, NY office.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities

Develop and execute methods and algorithms for protein sequence analysis, quantification, protein identification, and consensus sequence generation based on Glyphic's novel single molecule protein sequencing technology
Devise quantitative metrics for accuracy and performance in protein sequence analysis based on Glyphic's technology that align with standards in proteomics
Design analyses and proteomic simulations to inform the development of Glyphic's technology towards addressing key proteomic use cases
Work closely with the bioinformatics team and internal/external software engineers to establish and automate analysis pipelines to be used by the Glyphic team as a step towards integration to product
Collaborate and engage with Glyphic's R&D and Product development teams to provide and receive feedback on Glyphic's bioinformatic needs and directions
Stay abreast of developments in protein bioinformatics (eg. Protein Large Language Models) and take leadership in proposing future directions for Glyphic's bioinformatics projects
Foster an open and collaborative environment; provide direction and mentorship to direct reports, consultants, and interns in bioinformatics
