• Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer. Ginkgo is constructing, editing, and redesigning the living world in order to answer the globe’s growing challenges in health, energy, food, materials, and more. Our bioengineers make use of an in-house automated foundry for designing and building new organisms. • Ginkgo believes that if we are to grow a thriving, sustainable bioeconomy, we must also grow a new market in biosecurity. Our biosecurity and public health initiative, Concentric by Ginkgo, launched a nationwide emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic, providing end-to-end pathogen monitoring services to schools, communities, and travelers. As we continue to scale Concentric, our work is also evolving into new and exciting directions, from global expansion to the integration of new technologies and capabilities, including our Traveler-Based Genomic Surveillance Plan with the CDC. • You will be the final decision maker on high-level technical decisions and responsible for the overall architecture of our systems. You will work with the Software Team to ensure the architecture is implemented as intended and refine it as new knowledge arises from implementation. • In order to succeed in this role you need a track record of successful software delivery, be up to date with current technologies (especially AWS), be able to create proof of concepts and communicate technical concepts and decisions concisely and accurately. You will thrive if you are a self-starter motivated to bring organism engineering to new heights. • Responsibilities: - Define, maintain and communicate Concentric’s Software Architecture with input from the Software Team - Collaborate with the Product Management and Software Teams to define and track roadmaps for implementation of the architecture - Make Build vs Buy decisions - Research third party software assets and identify candidates to add to the Concentric portfolio - Create proof of concepts for major software components - Collaborate with the Data team to ensure our Data Architecture will support analytics across the organization - Champion and implement continuous process improvements to enhance productivity
