Job Details

Recursion is a clinical-stage biotechnology company decoding biology by integrating technological innovations across biology, chemistry, automation, data science and engineering to radically improve the lives of patients and industrialize drug discovery. Our team is working to solve some of the hardest, most meaningful problems facing human health today. Come join us in our mission to decode biology to radically improve lives, while doing the most impactful work of your life.

THE IMPACT YOU'LL MAKE
  • Create a world-class data platform. You'll work with Biologists, Automation Scientists, and Data Scientists to create a platform that allows them to generate and access petabytes of data, gives them tools to quickly iterate on novel analysis, and deploy new deep learning models into the production data pipeline.
  • Build, scale, and operate a streaming data pipeline. You'll be on a team responsible for moving, processing, and analyzing over 60 terabytes of data each week.
  • Provide visibility into operations. You'll create tools, dashboards, and metrics to help lab operations keep track of the quality and timeliness of the data they generate, grant early insight into the quality of proposed experiments, and track the provenance of key drug development decisions.
  • Act as a mentor, coach, and sponsor. You will share your technical knowledge and experiences, resulting in an increase in learning, growth, and impact within and beyond the team.

 

THE TEAM YOU'LL JOIN

The Data Platform team (known internally as the machine infrastructure team) currently comprises four software engineers. Our responsibilities are twofold. First, we operate and maintain the current data pipeline that receives, uploads, indexes, and processes the raw data into various aggregated or featurized forms for use downstream by other Engineers and Data Scientists. Second, we are iteratively turning the pipeline into a platform to enable and empower downstream Engineers and Data Scientists to define their own pipelines and data processing. Our infrastructure provides easy and flexible access to petabytes of data, events for triggering computation or tracking state, and automated visibility into the progress of their pipelines.

 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED
  • Experience programming in projects with significant ambiguity and technical complexity, ideally spanning multiple systems and involving diverse technologies.
  • Experience being resourceful, collaborative, and flexible in order to complete large projects that deliver needed value. We don't have much in the way of project managers.
  • Excitement to learn parts of our tech stack that you might not already know. Our current tech stack uses Python, Clojure, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes, and cloud services provided by Google Cloud Platform.
  • A drive to deliver well tested and instrumented code that can be continuously deployed in small impactful chunks.
  • Experience delivering in areas of performance, scalability, and system architecture.
  • Biology background is not necessary.

 

The Benefits/Perks You'll Enjoy

  • 100% Coverage of health, vision, and dental insurance premiums
  • 401(k) with generous matching (immediate vesting)
  • Stock option grants
  • Two one-week paid company closures (summer and winter)
  • Flexible vacation/sick leave
  • Generous paid parental leave (including adoptive)
  • Onsite daycare facility*
  • Commuter benefit and vehicle parking to ease your commute*
  • Complimentary chef-prepared lunches and well-stocked snack bars*
  • Monthly fitness/wellness stipend*
  • One-of-a-kind 100,000 square foot headquarters complete with a 70-foot climbing wall, showers, lockers, and bike parking*
  • Subject to change for remote-based employees during the COVID-19 pandemic
