Member of Technical Staff - Software Engineering

I'm hiring for at a stealth-mode biotech AI startup that's redefining drug safety.

They're building the first accurate AI systems for toxicity prediction - replacing lab and animal testing with scalable, ML-powered platforms. It's a rare chance to build something foundational at the intersection of AI, biology, and enterprise software.

Role: Founding ML/Data Engineer

You'd architect the data systems powering everything from ML training to customer insights. It's hands-on, high-impact, and deeply cross-functional.

Why it's exciting:

  • Build the core data platform from scratch
  • Architect LLM systems for literature research & clinical trial curation
  • Collaborate with scientists, ML researchers & product leads
  • Join a small, elite team (ex-DeepMind, top biotech, big tech)

Who they're looking for:

Builders who elevate the team - high energy, high agency, and obsessive about their craft. Folks who could thrive in big tech but crave the challenge of building something new.

Ideal background:

✅ Leading large-scale data platform buildouts

✅ Designing high-throughput systems for petabyte-scale data

✅ Building LLM-powered research or retrieval systems

✅ Translating user needs into elegant infrastructure

✅ Owning data systems at an early-stage startup

📍 SF Bay Area (onsite)

💰 $230-280K base + equity + bonus

🧬 Work at the frontier of AI, biology & product
