Software Engineers (Biologic Discovery)

5 of the top 10 pharma run discovery programs with Platforma today. Our goal is 10 of 10 by year-end. Our tools are in the published methods of approved cancer immunotherapies and the vaccines that reached millions of people. The next paper that cites us could be the next drug.

We've merged our desktop, bioinformatics, and data teams into one. AI made cross-domain context cheap; the silo wall is gone. Bioinformaticians who leaned into engineering, and engineers who leaned into biology, now ship at multiples of what they used to. We need more of those. WHAT YOU'D BUILD

• Discovery pipelines: raw sequences * pre-IND leads. Therapeutic antibodies, biomarkers, end-to-end workflows real scientists use.
• The Platforma SDK that computational biologists love: TypeScript, Vue, Tengo (a niche Lua-like workflow DSL - yes, you'll learn it), Rust. Open Source.
• The data layer: thousands of bioinformatics formats reduced to one common denominator. PFrames, Parquet, DataFusion, lazy columnar everything.

Offering a competitive salary of €90-120k and relocation support, we aim to foster collaborative environments. The ideal candidates should possess strong TypeScript skills and a willingness to learn bioinformatics. Enjoy the vibrant culture and quality of life that Bilbao offers., * Experience with 100k-line monorepos in TypeScript.

• Ability to learn bioinformatics concepts quickly.
• Tolerance for sparse documentation and niche DSLs., * Strong TypeScript in 100k-line monorepos; Polars > pandas.
• Either prior bioinformatics exposure, or a serious appetite to learn it in your first month. We can teach VDJ recombination; we can't teach curiosity.
• Tolerance for sparse docs and niche DSLs. "Fix the SDK, don't work around it" instinct.

• €90-120k base, real ESOP, ARR-tied bonus - when we grow, you grow, in cash, this year, not "someday."
• Bizkaia Special Impatriate Regime: ~15-20% effective tax. Net beats London, Berlin, Amsterdam.
• Visa, relocation, soft-landing package.
• No HR, no take-homes. You talk directly to engineering and to me.
• Bilbao: ocean, mountains, Michelin restaurants, low cost of living, highest quality of life. On-site - cross-domain context-sharing genuinely doesn't work over Zoom.
