We are a team of scientists, engineers, and life science veterans building the next generation of tools to accelerate biomedical research using AI. Thanks to the Epistemic AI platform, world-renowned scientific institutions discovered new drugs, biomarkers and made therapies available to patients faster. We are eager to expand our team with people passionate about our mission.

We are looking to hire senior or lead level:

  - bioinformatician/biomedical data engineers

  - front-end engineers

  - AI engineers 

  - product managers 

  - choose-your-own-adventure engineers
If you're an engineer and don't remember what the difference is between a thread and a process or do not feel like you understand the basics of networking to debug a front end application, you might want to make sure you review enough fundamentals before applying.

We are searching for demonstrably tenacious, resilient individuals who are relentless in their pursuit of a solution and who thrive when challenged. You, like us, have the desire and drive to build something incredible from the ground up. You, like us, are competitive yet collaborative and strive for excellence in your work. You have passion and compassion, with empathy and deep respect for customers and colleagues. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

Our team is fully remote, with team members in North America, Europe, and APAC. We hire in all time zones. The compensation we are offering is generous for a company of our size, including competitive cash and equity compensation, 401K matching, excellent health insurance (no monthly payments). We also subsidize equipment, education, and home office furniture.

Our technology stack is based on AWS, K8s, Terraform, Ansible (Infra); Python 3 and Rust (Backend); SQL, Knowledge Graphs, Airflow (Data); Tensorflow, Pytorch, Generative Models (AI), Typescript and React (Frontend).

If you're intrigued and want to come help accelerate biomedical research please drop us a line at jobs@epistemic.ai

I'm Stefano, co-founder and CEO, AMA!
No questions, but thanks for noting that you hire in APAC! I wrote an (admittedly frustrated) blog post about global startups not hiring in Aus/Asian timezones, it's a bit of a buzzkill when you're on the job hunt and get excited about companies only to find they aren't truly remote: https://www.warmhq.com/blog/why-dont-startups-hire-australia...
I think this is an exciting opportunity at the intersection of bioinformatics, data science, and data engineering. I emailed my application, with the beginning of the last name matching the last 5 letters of this username. I'm wondering if your platform for omics analysis, which is species-specific [0], could also identify commonalities across species, like with the recently released TranscriptFormer [1]? Also, I think your platform is really useful for understanding the "native language of biology", which I think is covered well in an article I came across recently as well [2].

This is a weird thing to add when you're looking for a bioinformatician dev:

While we will know the difference between a thread and a process, we generally dont work with websites/front end technology.
