Software Developer Academic Year Intern
Passionate about making a difference in the world of cancer genomics?
Tempus is on a mission to connect an entire ecosystem to redefine how genomic data is used in cancer clinical settings. With the advent of genomic sequencing, we can finally measure and process our genetic makeup. We now have more data than ever before but providers don't have the infrastructure or expertise to make sense of said data. Here at Tempus, we believe the greatest promise for the detection and treatment of cancer lies in the deep understanding of molecular activity for disease initiation, progression, and efficacious treatment based on the discovery of unique biomarkers.
We're looking for builders (front-end developers, backend developers, devops and machine learning experts) who are passionate about changing the status quo and bringing cancer care into the 21st century.
Tempus is accepting resumes for paid part-time and full-time academic semesters and summer internships (and unpaid internships for students receiving academic credits for internship).
