Senior Back-end Full-Stack Software Engineer
New Today
The world we want tomorrow is the one were building today. Isomorphic Labs (IsoLabs) was launched in 2021 to advance human health by building on and beyond the Nobel-winning AlphaFold system. Since then, our interdisciplinary team of drug discovery experts and machine learning specialists has built powerful new predictive and generative AI models that accelerate scientific discovery at digital speed.
Our name comes from the belief that there is an underlying symmetry between biology and information science. By harnessing AIs powerful capabilities, we can use it to model complex biological phenomena to help design novel molecules, anticipate how drugs will perform and develop innovative medicines to treat and cure some of the worlds most devastating diseases.
We have built a world-leading drug design engine comprising AI models that are capable of working across multiple therapeutic areas and drug modalities. We are continually innovating on model architecture and developing cutting-edge capabilities to advance rational drug design.
Every day, and with each new breakthrough, were getting closer to the promise of digital biology, and achieving our ambitious mission to one day solve all disease with the help of AI.
Software Engineer, London or Lausanne
We are looking for software engineers at the Senior, Staff or equivalent levels.
We are here to advance human health, by reimagining drug discovery with the power of artificial intelligence.
A future enabled and enriched by the incredible power of machine learning. We think theyll help us bring it closer, too.
The world we want tomorrow is the one were building today. Isomorphic Labs (IsoLabs) was founded in 2021 and is led by Sir Demis Hassabis. Our aim is to usher in a new era of biomedical breakthroughs and find cures for some of humanitys devastating diseases.
Our foundations are built on the success of Google DeepMinds AlphaFold, but we didnt stop there! We are continuing to develop and implement state-of-the-art technologies as we move towards our goal of dramatically accelerating and improving the process of designing and bringing new medicines to patients.
We have built a world-leading drug design engine comprising foundational AI models that are capable of working across multiple therapeutic areas and drug modalities. The company is continually innovating on model architecture and developing cutting-edge capabilities to advance rational drug design.
We are looking for outstanding software engineers to work on different aspects of our ML-based software platform such as: data, backend and fullstack engineering, ML engineering, as well as technical and cloud infrastructure. We are keen on receiving applications from individuals falling at the intersection of one or more of these fields.
This is an exciting opportunity for versatile software engineers to be working in a fast-paced and research-facing environment within a small team. You will contribute significantly to a world-class ML-based software platform set to transform the biopharmaceutical world. We need creative thinkers ready to redefine how drugs are designed with the power of AI.
Working in a highly creative, iterative environment, you will be partnering with leading engineers, scientists and ML researchers to build the critical platform driving that transformation. Depending on your experience and background, you can be expected to work on one or more of the following domains:
Ingestion, management and serving of scientific data
Backend and fullstack engineering for the buildout of scientific applications and scientific data management applications
Building a state-of-the-art platform for conducting ML research with a high velocity and reliability
Building key MLOps components for transferring models from research to production at scale
Working on low-level performance optimization to increase the efficiency and performance of ML models and infrastructure
Optimizing and maximally leveraging our compute resources and fleet of accelerators for large scale training and inference
Strong software engineering experience with software design / architecture skills
Extensive enterprise programming experience writing production code using mainstream programming languages such as Python, Java, C++ or Go
Experience building secure/scalable platforms/products on cloud
Demonstrate ongoing career progression / trajectory and a passion for learning
Msc in computer science, or equivalent experience
Expertise in Python
Experience with the management of scientific and experimental wet labs data in a pharma context
Experience building backend systems for web applications, using technologies such as Django, SQLalchemy, Pydantic, PostgreSQL
Experience designing, implementing and maintaining relational data models with Python-based interfaces
Experience developing frontend applications in a scientific context
Experience building, optimizing and productionizing large scale deep learning models
Hands-on experience with cloud engineering in a compute-heavy environment, preferably on GCP
Hands-on experience optimizing the use of fleets of hardware accelerators
Experience with life sciences data, including bioinformatics, computational chemistry, and biomedical research data
These values help to guide our work and will continue to strengthen it.
Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships. Its knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering that what were doing will have a real impact on real people everywhere.
We believe that to be successful we need a team with a range of skills and talents. We're building an environment where collaboration is fundamental, learning is shared and every employee feels supported and able to thrive. We value unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, and perspectives, and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.
We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable law. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.
This is why we follow a hybrid model, and would require you to be able to come into the office 3 days a week (currently Tuesday, Wednesday, and one other day depending on which team youre in). If you have additional needs that would prevent you from following this hybrid approach,]]
