Bioinformatics Engineer
Pilgrim, Redwood City, CA
The role
As a Bioinformatics Engineer at Pilgrim, you’ll develop methods and software to characterize sequencing data from ARGUS. You’ll build metagenomic analysis pipelines that process reads as they arrive and run efficiently at the edge. You’ll validate detection accuracy so operators can trust what ARGUS reports.
What you will do
- Develop and evaluate methods for agnostic detection and identification of organisms in metagenomic data, including mixed samples and low-abundance signals.
- Build sequencing pipelines covering basecalling, read quality control, classification, and reporting of detection evidence and uncertainty.
