Founding Software Engineer
About the role
We’re hiring three exceptional Founding Software Engineers to help us scale the computational biology platform that powers our drug discovery pipeline. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with the founders to design, build, and scale our infrastructure, APIs, and web interface. You’ll own major pieces of our stack end-to-end — from architecture to deployment — and ship features that directly impact scientists and customers.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with founders on product decisions, scope experiments, and ship quickly
- Build/operate services (infra + ML + web) and iterate with customer feedback
- Mix of coding, design reviews, and practical deployment work
Requirements
- Adaptability and openness to work on diverse problems (e.g., batch HPC scaling, frontend development, automated fine-tuning…)
- AWS DevOps (DynamoDB, EC2, S3, docker, etc.) and MLOps (CUDA, Conda, Tensorflow, PyTorch)
- Front-end development (React/Vercel)
- Willingness to learn about biology-ML models
- Located in the SF Bay Area or able to relocate to the Bay Area
Qualifications
- Experience with AI/ML models across various architectures and environments
- Technology: Our technology sits at the intersection of DevOps, MLOps, and Computational Biology. We deal with problems ranging from scaling ML inference on AWS for hundreds of GPUs to dissecting pdb files with Biopython. We deploy a wide range of open source ML models for customers, navigating between Docker containers, Colab notebooks, bash scripts, slurm jobs, and more.
