I don't have any funding to hire right now, but I'm always happy to chat about the industry and my experience building Hail (https://hail.is https://hail.is, https://github.com/hail-is/hail https://github.com/hail-is/hail), a tool widely used by folks with large collections of human sequences.
The other posters are not wrong about compensation. Total compensation is off by a factor of two to three.
However, it is absolutely possible to work with a group of top-notch engineers on serious distributed systems & compilers in service of an excellent scientific-user experience. I know because I do. We are lucky to have a PI who respects and hires a diversity of expertise within his lab.
I enjoy being deeply embedded with our users. I do not have to guess what they need or want because I help them do it every day.
I also enjoy enmeshing engineering with statistics, mathematics, and biology. Work is more interesting when so many disciplines conspire towards the end of improved human health.
