Job description

We turn biological foundation models into production systems for discovery-so scientists can run experiments in silico at the speed of inference.

We’re already deployed with top pharma, supporting work from target identification to biomarker discovery.

The Role

We’re hiring a Platform Engineer to build and scale the infrastructure behind our virtual AI lab.

This is a hands-on role: debugging Kubernetes one moment, improving architecture the next, shipping to production throughout.

You’ll be working on the system that makes AI-driven drug discovery actually usable at scale.

What You’ll Do

  • Run and scale Kubernetes (incl. GPU workloads)
  • Own cloud infrastructure and infra-as-code
  • Support ML training & inference pipelines
  • Manage CI/CD, observability, and deployments
  • Handle databases, storage, and migrations
  • Build automation (Python/Bash)
  • Work closely with ML, backend, and product

Requirements

  • 3+ years in platform / DevOps / infra
  • Strong Kubernetes, Docker, cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure)
  • Solid Python
  • Experience with CI/CD, databases, infra-as-code
  • Comfortable debugging production systems
  • High ownership, low ego

Nice to Have

  • GPU workloads / ML infra
  • Observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.)
  • Security/compliance (SOC2, HIPAA)
  • Biotech / pharma experience
