Bioinformatics Engineer - Proteomics

About the role

We are building intelligent, high-performance agents for biological data analysis, empowering over 5,000 scientists across 150+ R&D labs to handle data from instrument-to-insights. We are seeking a Bioinformatics Engineer to join our Proteomics team working at the frontier of what artificial intelligence can achieve in biology.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to our technical approach to teaching agents how to understand and handle complex genomic data, working across end-to-end data analysis workflows from instrument outputs to real scientific decisions.
• Work as part of a team of software engineers and biologists building datasets to teach these agents to reason better across:
• Proteomic data QC → analysis
• NGS-Based Proteomics
• Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry
• Protein Sequencing
• Affinity-targeted assays
• X-Ray Crystallography
• Spatial proteomics
• Clinical interpretation of proteomics data

Requirements

• 3+ years hands-on experience with genomics or genetics data
• Experience in drug mechanism of action studies using population genomics
• Proficiency in Python and/or R
