Cyclomics is a biotech start-up with a mission to revolutionize early cancer diagnostics through DNA sequencing . Our technologies range from low frequency mutation detection in cell-free DNA from liquid biopsies, to tumour classification using neural networks. We have continuing collaborations with several hospitals in the Netherlands, and we are now expanding to other regions and scaling our commercial operations. Following recent investments we relocated to the Matrix Innovation Centers in the Amsterdam Science Park.

To support our growth we are looking for a Bioinformatics / Data Scientist  with a strong computational background to help develop and improve data analysis pipelines for genomic and sequencing data. In this role, you will work at the intersection of computer science, algorithms, and molecular biology , focusing on building robust and scalable solutions for biological data analysis.

We value strong programming ability and algorithmic thinking  and the ideal candidate also has a solid understanding of molecular biology.

Role & Responsibilities

• Design and implement computational pipelines for biological and sequencing data.
• Develop efficient algorithms and data-processing solutions for large-scale genomic datasets.
• Analyze complex biological datasets and translate findings into actionable insights.
• Collaborate with molecular biologists and data scientists.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of production-quality bioinformatics software.
• Communicate results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• MSc in a relevant field such as Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Data Science, or similar.
• At least 2 years of industry experience, or equivalent, in a computational or data-driven role.
• Excellent Python programming skills.
• Strong algorithmic and logical thinking.
• Solid understanding of statistics and mathematics.
• Basic molecular biology knowledge.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate in interdisciplinary teams.
• Right to work in the Netherlands and willingness to work on-site at least 3 days a week.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with DNA sequencing data (e.g. ONT, Illumina, PacBio).
• Experience in testing frameworks such as Nose2.
• Experience with github actions and CI/CD
• Experience with compiled languages such as C++ or Rust.
• Experience with workflow management systems such as Nextflow or Snakemake.
• Machine learning experience using tools such as PyTorch, JAX, or scikit-learn.
• Experience with remote/cloud computing platforms such as HPC’s, ssh, Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure.

Offer

Competitive salary depending on experience, equity stake, pension contribution, and travel reimbursement.
