Do you want to be a part of an interdisciplinary, dynamic team who shares the vision of better healthcare and cutting-edge scientific innovation by providing scientists with tools that accelerate their workflow within genomics and digital biology? Future healthcare will increasingly depend on accurate detection of genetic variations and high throughput screening of molecule and cells. Our goal at Samplix is to continue to collaborate with customers to drive the adoption of our technologies, accelerating their research.
Samplix® Xdrop® proprietary droplet technologies have proven to accurately validate gene editing by regional enrichment, enable the exploration of whole genomes from single cells, reconstruct extremely complex genomic regions in plants and crops and decipher complex genomics structures linked to genetic diseases. The Xdrop technology is extremely flexible and new fields of application include enzyme screening, cell immunoassays, and more.
THE POSITION
We are looking for an experienced Bioinformatician/Software developer to help us develop our DNA sequencing data analysis products. You may already have commercial experience but if not, you consider this to be a fantastic opportunity to learn what it means to develop a commercial data analysis product. Likewise, you are enthusiastic about being an active part of the team developing our software development pipeline and building a robust and scalable compute environment in the Amazon cloud.
You will be working together with our bioinformatic and computer scientists as well as molecular biologists to find the best data analysis solutions for the major Xdrop applications mainly within DNA sequencing. Great interpersonal skills on top of drive and considerable bioinformatic knowledge will be essential to reach our common goals together.
You will be reporting to our CTO and your workplace will be at the new headquarter in Birkerød, Denmark.
The working language is English, thus good English speaking, reading and writing skills are required.
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
- Develop and optimize sequencing data analysis pipelines including data analysis reporting
- Develop, maintain, and optimize cloud-based infrastructure (AWS)
- Expand and optimize a set of PostgreSQL databases running in AWS RDS
- Maintain and support our existing software platforms
- Provide support internally to R&D, Services, Applications, and Field Applications scientists and externally to customers.
- Collaborate across departments with software engineers, bioinformaticians, and scientists in R&D, Applications and Services, Sales and Marketing
- Contribute to our great team spirit
REQUIREMENTS
- A degree in bioinformatics, computer science or similar background
- Experience with Next Generation Sequencing data analysis including short read and preferably also long read sequencing
- Proficiency with common bioinformatics programming languages (Python, R, etc.) and in a Linux environment
- Great communication skills both verbally and in writing
- A track record that demonstrates your project engagement and timely deliveries
- A team player – enthusiastic and responsible
It will be a great advantage if you also have:
- A strong background in software design and development for Unix-like platforms
And it would be ideal if you also have:
- Hands on experience with cloud architecture using AWS (e.g. load balancing, VPC’s, SSL certificates, and RDS)
- Hands on experience with designing and optimizing PostgreSQL databases
- Experience working with a compiled programming language (Go, C, C++, etc.)
- Experience with version control (Subversion/Git)
- Experience with software testing, test coverage, etc.
- Experience with software documentation
WE OFFER
We offer a great job with development opportunities in a highly motivating, professional and friendly environment. You may be looking for a new career path or you may simply be looking to make a difference in a small hard-working organization.
You will be offered the opportunity to be part of a team to spearhead the development of ground-breaking technology to enhance existing next generation sequencing technology and add value to the already existing sequencing market, and you will get the opportunity to learn a lot of new skills from our great team of bioinformaticians and software engineers.
The job will be challenging and rewarding at the same time. You will have world class colleagues, flexible working hours, 5 weeks of holiday as well as 5 extra days off (feriefridage) and a salary corresponding to your qualifications.

BACKGROUND
Precise genomics and digital biology are at the base of innovative research in multiple scientific applications, especially within research ultimately leading to better healthcare. Samplix’ Xdrop products and services allow scientists to focus on specific markers and unprecedently accelerate their research.
ABOUT SAMPLIX
Samplix has developed proprietary products for targeted enrichment of DNA, whole genome amplification from single cells and high throughput screening of enzymes and cells. Samplix’ technologies are based on the advanced Xdrop microfluidic system, which enables the generation of millions of double emulsion droplets and thousands of single emulsions. This system is what enables highly targeted enrichment of long DNA molecules (~100 kb), unbiased amplification of DNA and high throughput screening of enzymatic reactions and cells.
