EvolutionaryScale’s mission is to develop artificial intelligence to understand biology for the benefit of human health and society, through open, safe, and responsible research, and in partnership with the scientific community. Over the next ten years AI will transform biological design, making molecules and entire cells programmable. We will develop the foundation models for biology that enable this.
The EvolutionaryScale team is based in San Francisco and New York. We believe in flexibility around work schedules and locations but expect that our team members will work half of the days or more of most weeks from one of our offices.
What you’ll doThe product team builds Forge - both an AI model API platform and a set of first party apps for biologists. We have multifaceted experience with clear areas of expertise.
Each engineer of the product team operates with significant autonomy and has clear areas of ownership.
We expect familiarity with technologies like react, tailwinds, radix-ui, nextjs, postgres, and terraform. Familiarity with model development in PyTorch and Python is a plus.
The role- Design and implement our Forge API products to help scientists program biology and create the next generation of therapeutics.
- Build and scale our ML inference service with public-facing APIs to enable individual computational biologists to embed millions of sequences a day and support our generous free tier.
- Own integration tests that ensure with high-confidence that our services are running smoothly.
- Extend our open source esm library to make interfacing with the complex data types of structural biology seem seamless.
- Interface with research team to develop tests, ship model improvements, new AI model features etc.
- A strong emphasis on performance and infrastructure - capability to optimize an ML inference stack.
- Be an early backend-focused hire on the team building out how we build, test, and ship.
- Flex into multiple hats - postgres optimization, terraform, nodejs, model inference pipelines are all to be expected.
Apply even if you don’t meet all of these!
- 6+ years of experience in software teams with owning production systems and responsible for keeping them running smoothly.
- 2+ years of experience with python.
- Opinions on good api design, SDK design with high ownership.
The salary range for this position is $150,000 to $350,000 per year, plus a competitive equity package. Compensation package will vary based on job-related skills, experience, and knowledge. The compensation package also includes comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
