About time this topic came up on HN. The reason this matters is that lots of really smart, driven engineers are being taught that the way to be successful is to make a buck on a quick flip of a consumer web app -- rather than making an impact on the world. Places like Ycombinator that have the most cachet should be leading the charge on reversing this trend.
Do people really think working on problems like this is impactful? Guessing the guys running this are pretty smart engineers, bums me out that they are making "solving the office lunch problem" their big hack.
This is only the starting point. If such a company were able to hit critical mass, think about the potential they could have feeding residents and helping healthcare monitering. Perhaps even disrupting the concept of needed super markets. The possibilities are endless beyond whats on the surface
I'm not sure the "possibilities are endless". At best they are lowering transaction costs between ppl selling food and ppl buying food. Feels like there are bigger problems out there.
Boston, MA - Ginkgo BioWorks is a synthetic biology startup out of MIT that is offering programming internships to develop CAD tools and software to support our platform for genetic engineering of organisms for use in fuels, medicine, and foods.

OT (and I'm sorry), but I couldn't resist when I saw this requirement:
> Candidates should hold a PhD or equivalent and have successfully engineered an organism -- plants, fish, microbes, worms, fungi, it doesn't matter, as long as it worked.
Are there that many people who've actually done this? It makes me wish I could apply for this job :)
Yes, I'd hope so too :) There should be quite a few people who've successfully engineered microbes and plants (by extension, fungi), but for the others, I was wondering just how many candidates there could be.
For our programmer slots you don't need prior experience engineering organisms. Ginkgo is a good place for solid engineers to learn to hack biology. The majority of the team came from non-biology backgrounds initially.
Do you have any use for someone with a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) background? I'm graduating next spring and am really interested in synthetic biology.
