<p class=MsoNormal>Hey BayPIGgies,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I work with a smallish, exciting Google/Genentech funded
startup in Mountain View called 23andMe. In November, we launched our product,
a web-based service that helps individuals read and understand their DNA via a
series of interactive tools that shed new light on everything from their
health, to their distant ancestors, close family and most of all, themselves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m pasting a job description below, we’re on
the hunt for a couple of senior level people to join our engineering team
(which is currently around 10 people). We are presented with some incredible
and unique engineering challenges, and have built a great team that we’re
excited to continue growing, not to mention a great work environment. If you
have questions, or are interested, please feel free to contact me directly at <a
