About Glencoe Software, Inc.
We are a small, growing team dedicated to building the next generation of tools for managing, analyzing and understanding large, multi-dimensional datasets generated in life sciences research and biomedicine. Founded in late 2005, we are the commercial arm of the Open Microscopy Environment (http://openmicroscopy.org), an open source data specification and software development project that builds tools for managing biological data. OME's tools are released under the GPL, and Glencoe Software provides commercial access to these tools and performs customization work based on the OME foundation. OME's Bio-Formats library (http://openmicroscopy.org/site/support/bio-formats) and OMERO (http://openmicroscopy.org/site/products/omero) are the foundations for PerkinElmer's Columbus™ data management application, the Journal of Cell Biology's JCB DataViewer (http://jcb-dataviewer.rupress.org) and ASCB's CELL Library (http://cellimagelibrary.org). We work hard, have a great time, and deliver unique, world-leading applications that are changing the way bioscience works. Our open source foundation is well-funded and growing, as is our list of customers and the scale of the company. We are also now taking on the challenge of large clinical datasets and need your help! We value collaboration, and thrive on creativity and well-designed code. We're a true company-- self-funded, no VCs, real customers, and real products that are used for critical, world-changing applications. We passionately follow open source development and licensing-- we make major contributions to Bio-Formats and OMERO software applications that are installed in thousands of labs around the world. We are proud of our commitment to an open source business model.
Maybe you want to build something more than the next IM client or cool project management App. Maybe you want your work to matter, to contribute to the world's science and health. Maybe you like being part of a real software team, that produces real products for real customers. Maybe you are committed to open source software, and want your work to have the broadest impact possible. Maybe you should think about joining Glencoe Software.
