Description
Job Summary
We’re looking for a mid-level Software Engineer to join our small, mission-driven development team. Together, we build the tools and systems that power our research data products — rich, high-quality datasets that combine genomic information (which we generate) with phenotypic data like patient demographics and medical history.
These data products are central to our mission: powering early stage research into life-altering diseases for which breakthroughs are badly needed.
As part of a remote-first team, you’ll collaborate closely with teammates in a tight feedback loop (lots of Slack and Zoom every day), constantly working together to ship features that matter. Your work will have a direct impact on the capabilities that make our business go.
Who You Are

A satisfactory background check is required by Ovation and will be subject to state or local regulations, including but not limited to your driving records, credit records, criminal records, education records, personal references, previous and current employers.
Ovation is an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity as a core of company culture. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
