The Opportunity
- We're seeking an exceptional Senior/Staff Software Engineer to build and lead our core platform as we scale. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-impact technology company in a major growth stage, where you'll act as tech lead for our core platform, ensuring our pharma and biopharma customers achieve transformative outcomes with our platform.
- Our platform is quickly seeing exceptional demand in its sector, and backed by top tier life science investors who have an informed perspective on where AI can have a profound impact in the industry.
What You'll Do
- End-to-End Platform Ownership: Design, build, and scale the web platform that enables deal teams to explore, upload, and analyze drug assets from discovery through due diligence and valuation.
- Front-End Architecture & UX: Develop intuitive, data-rich interfaces using modern frameworks (React/Next.js preferred) that empower users to manage deal pipelines, upload documents, and interpret LLM-driven insights.
- Workflow & Orchestration: Implement robust backend services and job orchestration layers (e.g., FastAPI, Node, or similar) that coordinate document ingestion, model execution, and results delivery across the platform.
- Data Visualization & Insight Delivery: Create dynamic, interactive components that visualize scientific assessments, risk analyses and deal insights generated by ML pipelines.
- API & Integration Engineering: Design and maintain clean, scalable APIs between the core LLM orchestration layer and the platform. Collaborate closely with ML engineers to expose model outputs as user-ready insights.
- Reliability & Scalability: Deploy and monitor platform services on AWS (or equivalent). Ensure high availability, low latency, and secure handling of sensitive scientific and deal data.
- Collaboration & Product Thinking: Work cross-functionally with ML engineers, product leads, and domain experts to translate scientific and business logic into actionable workflows that drive decision-making.
- Continuous Improvement: Champion engineering best practices — automated testing, CI/CD, observability, and modular architecture — while staying current on advances in AI-driven platform development.
Who You Are
- Core Qualifications:
- Education: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Full-Stack Engineering: Proven experience building modern web applications end-to-end — from intuitive, performant front-ends (React, Next.js, or similar) to robust, scalable back-ends (FastAPI, Node.js, or equivalent).
- Product & Platform Development: Hands-on experience designing and implementing complex, data-driven applications that integrate with APIs, asynchronous job systems, or machine learning backends.
- Frontend Architecture & UX: Strong command of component-based design, state management, and visualization frameworks (e.g., React Query, Redux, D3, Plotly) to deliver interactive, insight-driven user experiences.
- Backend & API Engineering: Expertise in developing RESTful or GraphQL APIs, integrating authentication/authorization, and managing event-driven workflows and background jobs.
- Database & Data Flow: Comfort working with both relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., Postgres, MongoDB, DynamoDB), and designing efficient data access layers for large, dynamic datasets.
- Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps: Experience deploying full-stack applications in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) using modern DevOps practices — including Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Security & Compliance Awareness: Familiarity with best practices for secure data handling, user authentication, and compliance (especially valuable in healthcare, life sciences, or enterprise environments).
- Collaboration & Product Mindset: Strong communication and collaboration skills; ability to work closely with ML engineers, product managers, and scientific domain experts to deliver elegant, high-impact user workflows.
- Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving skills and an analytical mindset. Passion for continuous learning, rapid prototyping, and iterating based on user needs. Autonomous, self-starter attitude with a strong sense of ownership. Excellent communication skills—able to explain technical ideas clearly to non-technical audiences. Collaborative team player with a desire to build things that truly matter.
- Bonus: Experience in healthcare, life sciences, or biopharma sectors is nice, but not required. More important is a willingness to dive into the field and a curiosity to learn about life sciences and the drug development process, and how deal making revolves around it.
What We Offer
- Impact: Your work directly enables breakthrough therapies to reach patients faster
- Ownership: Build and lead the platform as a foundational engineering leader
- Growth: Shape our product experience during a critical scaling phase
- Compensation: Competitive salary, performance bonus, and equity
- Team: Collaborative, mission-driven colleagues passionate about transforming biopharma
Location
- We are a remote-first company, but looking for team members to be located in the Northeast (Boston, New York, DC, etc.)
