Are you a great developer with a knack for making great software and changing your users’ lives? Looking to work on fantastic open-source software used by 1000s of scientists worldwide?

The Open Microscopy Environment Consortium (OME,http://openmicroscopy.org)is seeking Software and Devops Engineers to build an international image repository and data-processing tools for the life sciences. We already have lots of great functionality, now we need to scale this up to handle millions of images and petabytes of data across multiple hosts, together with real-time analysis tools, all integrated with other world-leading databases and scientific resources.

We’re looking for people to build and operate our infrastructure, to develop our existing applications for handling images and heterogeneous data in real-time, and to improve our data models to work with the increasing amounts of data being generated in the life-sciences.

We work hard, have a great time, and deliver unique, world-leading applications that are changing the way bioscience works. Everything we do is open-source; our tools are playing a vital role in supporting the move towards open-data and open-science. We work in several different domains- from basic research to drug screening to education to publication- and we need your help!

No one on our team does only one thing. Technical skills are important, but a willingness to take the initiative to research and suggest new tools is critical- we’ll give you the time and support to learn and extend your skills.

Interested? Show us what you’ve done, for example your GitHub profile, apps you have created, teams you have been a part of.
