Ultima Genomics

About Ultima Genomics

Ultima Genomics is pioneering genomic sequencing at an unprecedented scale. You will help drive down the cost of genomic information, making it accessible for everyone. We developed the UG 100™ platform, an innovative system replacing traditional flow cells with an open silicon wafer disk. This technology makes DNA sequencing more affordable and efficient, crucial for advancing human health. Our platform aims to sequence a human genome for just $80, processing 20,000 genomes per year. We enable groundbreaking research in oncology, biomarker discovery, and clinical trials. We are well-funded, raising $600 million from top-tier investors, and collaborate with leading institutions like the Broad Institute.

How We Work

We are a rapidly growing company building a collaborative team. Our experts come from diverse fields like life sciences, engineering, and software. We encourage open communication and cross-functional collaboration, such as engineers pairing with designers weekly. You will work with successful entrepreneurs, chemists, and genomics experts. We value innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in genomic technology. Some roles, like the Strategic Accounts Director, are remote, offering flexibility.

Engineering at Ultima Genomics

We tackle the challenge of high-throughput, low-cost DNA sequencing. Our UG 100™ platform uses a 200mm open silicon wafer for continuous data acquisition. This unique architecture replaces traditional flow cells, reducing sequencing costs significantly. We leverage cloud technology, including Google Cloud Singapore and AWS, for scalable analytics. Our systems integrate NVIDIA A30 GPUs and the NVIDIA Clara AI computing platform for accelerated analysis. You will work with advanced machine learning algorithms for basecalling and use Google's DeepVariant for germline variant calling. We constantly push the boundaries of data generation and processing in genomics.
