We are ArcherDX, a Boulder, Colorado-based emerging leader in next-generation DNA sequencing technology used to detect cancer mutations in clinical sample types. We are scientists, developers and engineers using precision genomics to make personalized medicine a reality. We are exciting people that rock climb, snowshoe, race motorcycles, ski, volunteer and brew beer. We enjoy an open work environment with a collaborative culture that breeds success. We are highly focused people that recognize talent, expect hard work and reward openly. We also kick back after work and enjoy pool, foosball, quadcopter wars and the weekly brew.
