Python | Backend | AWS | Biology | Software Engineer | Must have some familiarity with Biology – Either commercially or in Academia
The Role
You will play a pivotal role in building and scaling internal tools. Your main responsibility will be owning and developing the target identification platform, ensuring it is well-tested, scalable, and seamlessly integrated with other components of their system. You will ensure the tool is maximally useful for research while remaining flexible for future advancements. There is also an opportunity to explore emerging technologies, such as agentic LLMs, to enhance internal scientific tools.
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for candidates with a strong software engineering background who have some familiarity with biology, even if not in a research capacity. This role requires a willingness to engage with biological concepts and integrate them into software development.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the development of our target identification tool, ensuring robustness, scalability, and seamless integration with the broader platform.
* Collaborate with scientific, ML, and data teams to translate research needs into software solutions.
* Architect modular and future-proof software that evolves with scientific and computational advancements.
* Apply best practices in coding, testing, and documentation for long-term maintainability.
* Participate in agile methodologies, contributing to planning, development, testing, and deployment.
Core Competencies
* Strong proficiency in Python and backend development principles.
* Some experience or familiarity with biology and a willingness to deepen that knowledge.
* Experience with AWS services and Kubernetes (GCP exposure is a plus).
* Excellent communication skills and ability to work across technical teams.
* Pragmatic approach to troubleshooting and problem-solving in a fast-paced environment.
