AI-driven biotech research platform

Job Description

You will own and evolve technical infrastructure across cloud operations, data systems, and product deployment. As a high-impact generalist, you will architect robust systems and migrate legacy infrastructure to AWS, directly enabling advanced discovery services. This role bridges the gap between internal ML research tools and production-ready APIs for external scientific users.

Why this role is remarkable

• Full-stack ownership across backend services, frontend interfaces, and infrastructure automation without rigid corporate constraints.
• Lead the technical evolution of a core inference platform from an internal research tool to a production-ready external product.
• Design greenfield database architectures integrating complex scientific data sources to serve as the foundation for future discovery efforts.

What you will do

• Manage and scale cloud infrastructure through Terraform across multi-account AWS organizations and automated CI/CD pipelines.
• Design and implement database systems to integrate structured biochemistry data with unstructured experimental data for ML training.
• Build and harden production APIs and React frontends to transition internal models into service-oriented products for external users.

The ideal candidate

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with the ability to own complex distributed systems and data pipelines end-to-end.
• Proficiency in Python, Docker containerization, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS or GCP).
• High agency systems thinker comfortable working as a pragmatic generalist across infrastructure, backend, and developer tooling.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network. Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description. We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
