Senior Engineer, Software Test

Eikon Therapeutics is a new biopharmaceutical company employing revolutionary technology at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, computation, and biology to discover novel treatments for life-threatening diseases. Eikon’s discovery platform is built on groundbreaking innovations from its founders (Nobel Prize, 2014), culminating in the creation of microscopes which enable real-time, molecular-resolution measurements of protein movement in living cells, thereby unlocking otherwise intractable classes of proteins as drug targets. 

Position 

The Senior Engineer, Software Test will design and implement tests for both R&D and production software integral to Eikon’s drug-discovery and related product development efforts. 

About You 

You have a passion for testing (and breaking!) software both mechanistically and scientifically, exposing bugs and conceptual errors. You have a desire deeply understand the broad scientific and business context (the “why”) of scientific experiments as well as “how” these experiments are designed, performed, and analyzed.  

What You’ll Do 

• Write and review test plans in some cases in a controlled document environment
• Design and implement integration and end-to-end tests for existing, new, and third-party tools
• Identify gaps in unit and component-level tests and coordinate multiple software engineering teams in filling these gaps
• Compile metrics on code quality, complexity and gaps in test coverage and drive improvement with the software team

Qualifications 

• B.S. in computer science or equivalent experience 
• Proficiency in Python, C#, or Java.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum workflows and Atlassian CI/CD tools such as bamboo, Jenkins, Jira, confluence, and X-ray is required
• Experience with testing tools such as Celery, Selenium, pytest, and postman is a strong plus
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills 
• Team oriented, flexible, able to adapt to rapidly evolving goals and challenges 

At Eikon, employee compensation also includes bonus and equity compensation, in addition to several generous benefit programs, including:

• 401k plan with company matching
• Medical (premiums covered by Eikon at 95%), dental and vision insurance (premiums covered by Eikon at 100%)
• Mental health and wellness benefits
• Weeklong summer and winter holiday shutdowns
• Generous paid time off and holiday policies
• Life/AD&D Insurance (premiums covered by Eikon at 100%) and optional supplemental employee-paid life/AD&D policies
• Enhanced parental leave benefit
• Daily subsidized lunch program when on-site

The expected salary range for this role is $145,000 to $167,000 depending on skills, competency, and the market demand for your expertise.
