We are looking for a senior backend developer with strong Java skills to join our team working on the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC).

You'll get to write modern code in Java 8, play with cool technologies like Elasticsearch and Spark, all while working on open source projects which you can show off. We are talking about working with petabytes of data, billions of documents, and private and public clouds. Plus, you'll be working along side the most talented group of frontend/UI guys around.
