Full Stack Engineer

GCL: D2

Introduction to role:

Are you ready to build cloud-native products that accelerate antibody discovery and help bring medicines to patients faster! Join us to turn advanced data and AI into real-world impact by designing end-to-end solutions scientists love to use.

You will be part of a global, high-calibre team of software, data, and MLOps engineers, architects, product leaders, and scientists building an Augmented Biologics Discovery Platform. You will shape the experience and the architecture, turning complex scientific workflows into intuitive, production-grade software that shortens the path from idea to clinical candidate.

Working side by side with product, design and scientific users, you will create scalable services, data products and applications in the cloud. How would you design a cohesive, delightful experience that researchers choose every day because it makes their work faster, clearer and more insightful?

Accountabilities:

• Full-Stack Solution Design: Own the design and implementation of scalable, cloud-native applications that meet scientists’ requirements end to end.
• AI/ML Data Products: Deliver production-grade data products that enable and accelerate AI/ML use cases in discovery.
• Product and UX Innovation: Build novel features that solve long-standing drug discovery problems with experiences that feel seamless and unified.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product, design, data science, and scientific teams to build cutting-edge services and user journeys.
• Architecture and Data Models: Propose and implement changes to data models, core architecture, and the codebase to improve quality and velocity.
• Full-Stack Delivery: Contribute across all layers of the stack, even where you are less experienced, to move the product forward.
• Agile Ways of Working: Advance modern, agile software practices and help foster a vibrant engineering culture.
• Platform Reliability: Plan, implement and support core infrastructure to improve scalability, reliability, performance, and availability.
• Engineering Excellence: Champion rigorous practices including code reviews, automated testing, logging, monitoring, and alerting.
• Learning and Mentorship: Stay on top of tech trends, experiment, engage with internal and external communities, and mentor peers.
• Critical Problem Solving: Apply structured analysis and sound judgment to propose robust solutions to engineering challenges.
  

Essential Skills/Experience:

• Experience in designing end-to-end full stack software in cloud
• Deep expertise in Java and Python. Additionally, expertise in other programming languages like C++, Node.js will be advantageous
• Experience in at least one major web development framework from Spring, Flask, Django, and beyond
• Strong front end skills with one of the major front end frameworks from React, Angular or Vue.js
• Additional front-end skills in CSS as well as some related CSS framework like Bootstrap
• Experience working with relational and/or NoSQL databases and knowledge of query optimization techniques
• Proficiency in Linux environments
• Demonstrable high proficiency in data structures and design patterns, as well as associated antipatterns. Be able to defend, compare, and contrast these decisions
• Demonstrable abilities with the coding best practices including testing, code review, and version control
• CI/CD experience with some automation tooling like Jenkins, TravisCI, Github actions, etc.
• Experience of data analysis – profiling, investigating, interpreting, and documenting data structures
• Excellent teamworking, verbal, and written communication skills
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
  

Desirable Skills/Experience:

• Familiarity with Computational Biology/Bioinformatics concepts
• Basic understanding of Machine Learning concepts and MLOps
• Experience in microservice architecture
• Experience with message queuing (RabbitMQ, SQS, etc.)
• Experience with GitOps for Kubernetes
