Meet your future team

The Informatics team consists of two teams including computational scientists and software engineers. Software engineers work with their scientific counterparts to streamline workflows and create web-based data services. The Informatics team performs development and operational functions of our AWS cloud-based infrastructure. We work with several remote domain specific contractors to supplement internal resources.

The Analytics Platform Engineering team focuses on enabling self-service access to trusted data across Intellia while ensuring strict governance and role-based access control on proprietary, sensitive, and confidential data. You will play a key role in maintaining data security and compliance while promoting data democratization efforts.

We are primarily remote with the occasional visit to the laboratory when onsite testing is required. By utilizing modern development methodologies and remote conferencing tools we have maintained a high level of productivity and software delivery. If you join our team, you can expect to join a fast, fun, exciting and collaborative environment. We look forward to fostering your skills, learning from your experiences, and continuing to build an amazing team!
