About Us 

Valo Health is a technology company that is integrating human-centric data and AI-powered technology to accelerate the creation of life-changing drugs for more patients faster. Valo was created with the belief that the drug discovery and development process can and should be faster and less expensive, with a much higher probability of success. We are using models early to fail less often, executing clinical trials to add valuation to the company, and generating fit-for-purpose data to feed back into Valo’s Opal Computational Platform™ as we reinvent drug discovery and development from the ground up. Disease doesn’t wait, so neither can we. 

We are a multi-disciplinary team of experts in science, technology, and pharmaceuticals united in our mission to achieve better drugs for patients faster. Valo is committed to hiring diverse talent, prioritizing growth and development, fostering an inclusive environment, and creating opportunities to bring together a group of different experiences, backgrounds, and voices to work together. We achieve the widest ranging impact when we leverage our broad backgrounds and perspectivestoaccelerate a new frontier in health. Valo seeks to become the catalyst for the pharmaceutical industry and drive the digital transformation of the industry. Are you ready to join us? 

About the Role 

Join a growing (in vitro modelling) team as a central node connecting our efforts in data science, tissue engineering, and drug discovery. As a Data Scientist you will use your skills and experience to advance the engineering of human tissue models, focusing on cardiac and skeletal muscle models. 

You will be part of a team responsible for developing and building computational models, engineered tissue assays, statistical models, computer vision software, and other machine learning based tools for use throughout our drug discovery pipeline. 

Successful candidates will work with a diverse set of scientists, engineers, and domain experts in ways that cut across traditional industry boundaries, building powerful computational tools to advance the discovery and development of new medicines.
