SecureBio is a nonprofit working to protect the world from catastrophic pandemics. We operate the world’s largest metagenomic biosurveillance network, which performs daily sequencing of wastewater samples and nasal swabs to screen for emerging pathogens. Our computational team develops detection pipelines responsible for rapid processing of deep sequencing data in order to flag potential threats.
I'm the hiring manager for two roles:
- Senior infrastructure engineer, to own cloud infra, devops, CI/CD, AWS security, etc. https://securebio.org/careers/2026-cloud-infra-engineer/
- [Senior] software engineer focused on high performance data pipelines. https://securebio.org/careers/2026-software-engineer-pipelin...
Prior experience with biology or bioinformatics is not required. If you're interested, please apply via the relevant job posting. Feel free to drop me a line with questions; email is in my profile.
Cambridge, MA, USA (metro Boston) | ONSITE strongly preferred; REMOTE (US east coast) possible for exceptional candidates

I often write with Claude, and at work we have Gemini code reviews on GitHub; definitely these two catch different things. I'd be excited to have them working together in parallel in a nice interface.
If our ops team gives this a thumbs-up security wise I'll be excited to try it out when back at work.
This I don't understand, maybe someone help me out? Say the real growth rate of capital (or interest rate available to me, whatever) is 2%/year and I have a 10 year time horizon. So $1.00 today is ~$1.22 in 10 years. More generally, if I have wealth X today I will have 1.22X in 10 years. And if X is not a constant but a random variable and I want to maximize future expected wealth (not log wealth), that's just max(E[1.22X]) and by linearity of expectation I should just maximize wealth today to maximize in 10 years time.
So Kelly being appropriate must have some other conditions, right? Wanting to maximize log wealth is surely sufficient (and individually probably ~rational). What else?

Tiny example (which blends Julia-the-language and Julia-the-ecosystem, for better and worse): I just timed reading the most recent CSV I generated in real life, a relatively small 14k rows x 19 columns. 10ms in Julia+CSV+DataFrames, 37ms in Python+Pandas...ie much faster in Julia but also not a pain point either way.
By day I'm an engineering manager and research scientist at SecureBio. Drop me a line: evan@<company>.org
Previously I was the VP of data science and engineering at Zoba, a startup building optimization software and analytics for micromobility and on-demand delivery.
