Open Developer & Support Positions

Are you a great developer with a knack for making applications users love? Looking for a great team working on an important problem?

OME is seeking Software Developers and Technical Support professionals for an exciting phase of development and integration. We build data access and data management tools for life sciences and biomedical research. We have lots of great functionality, but we, and our community of thousands of users need more. Our agenda: Improved and updated Bio-Formats; integration with ImageJ2, CellProfiler, and KNIME; improved support for heterogeneous data, probably via NoSQL; improved data model and ontology support; improved support for distributed compute for large-scale analysis are all on the agenda. Want to take a lead on this?

We work hard, have a great time, and deliver unique, world-leading applications that are changing the way bioscience works. We are also now taking on the challenge of large clinical datasets and need your help!

Our applications are mostly written in Java and Python with some JavaScript and PL/pgSQL. Our foundation is a little old school, PostgreSQL, ZeroC’s ICE mixed with a taste of web scale computing; NoSQL, HDF5 and PyTables. Think you have the technical skills to help us perfect our applications?

We value collaboration, and thrive on creativity and well-designed code. We passionately follow open source development and licensing— we make major contributions to Bio-Formats and OMERO software applications that are installed in thousands of labs around the world. We are proud of our commitment to an open source philosophy.

Send us the goods: Your GitHub profile, apps you’ve created, teams you’ve been a part of.
