I know I’m not Simon but I’ve been in this space for a while and would love to chat with your friend about what applications they’re thinking about and how they’ve been solving this problem at their current company.

Octant is decoding biology’s complexity to build better drugs by engineering biology itself. We combine large-scale synthetic biology, functional genomics, multiplexed assays, high-throughput chemistry and computation to design multi-targeted drugs towards some of our most vexing diseases. You can read more about our mission here: https://www.octant.bio/blog/introducing-octant
We are now looking to hire another SWE to help bring our scientists to the next level. You will design and build internal products and tools that push the boundaries of synthetic biology, genomics, and drug discovery.
To give some examples of what we do, check out our open sourced work for COVID-19 testing called SwabSeq: https://www.octant.bio/swabseq or our plasmid sequencing workflow called Octopus: https://www.octant.bio/blog/2019/9/29/octopus
