When performance is a key factor for your algorithm, Python might not be the best tool. Rust is a system programming language with strong security guarantees and C-like performance while remaining as productive as Python. We will explore why we chose Rust as the language to implement parts of our biological algorithm.
We are Twist Bioscience and we make DNA. Yes, the DNA that makes up all living organisms. We are leading the innovation in DNA synthesis technology, providing the products that are changing the world for the better. Our customers in medicine, agriculture, industrial chemicals, and even data storage use our synthetic DNA products to develop revolutionary ways to create cures for cancer, and other diseases, as well as materials that help protect the environment and our planet. In our Software R&D Center in Tel Aviv we are building the SW IDE framework, i.e. the software tools that enable genetic engineers to design and edit biological code and develop better bio-based products, faster and cheaper. We are a fast-growing startup, that has raised $260M, with a portfolio of global customers who are some of the biggest biotech companies. Our unique innovation is in how we combine advanced technology along with biochemistry, molecular biology, and software engineering. If you are a SW developer or manager looking for a unique challenge and an unparalleled opportunity, we invite you to get in touch today.
