Company mission
To unlock the immune system to prevent disease through novel computational biology methods.
Role
Who you are
- Experience or familiarity/interest in working with Python/Flask, PostgreSQL, AWS, Typescript/React
- Prior experience with technologies used within our platform, while helpful, is not necessarily required
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills
- An inclusive and entrepreneurial mindset: a creative thinker, gets things done, takes failure in stride, derives signal from ambiguity, and champions the team
- An interest in learning biological sciences and digging into new challenges
- Curious and creative. You approach problems incrementally and collaboratively, taking a pragmatic approach without premature optimization or abstraction
- Open-minded and collaborative. You enjoy collaborating across disciplines (engineering, design, product, and science) and differing levels of experience, from junior engineers to VPs
- Open to direct, clear, and kind feedback, and are willing to give the same to others
What the job involves
- Contribute to backend systems and APIs that power Ozette
- Implement simple user interfaces at times to test backend changes
- Work with Design, Product, and scientists to discern product requirements and use-cases
- As part of the engineering team, you'll work side-by-side with a close-knit, collaborative and remote team
- Have an opportunity to inform/teach others about your work
- Prior experience with technologies used within our platform, while helpful, is not necessarily required
Our take
Deep understandings of systems found in nature allow us to represent biological systems through data and thus lead to research. This includes the study of the human immune system, but the system is incredibly complex and thus holds far too much data for human minds to analyze and learn from efficiently.
Ozette develops an AI-driven immune system digitization platform, helping to map and study the system to unlock insights, accelerate research, and develop medicines and therapies for all. The computational technology will eventually branch out to many areas of study within the immune system but is currently focused on immuno-oncology drug development for the treatment of cancer.
Whilst AI is already being used to augment the analysis of synthetic proteins, medical health records, and other healthcare datasets, Ozette has taken a unique approach to applying the technology directly to the study of the human immune system. Through this approach, the platform shows great potential to increase the speed at which we can study the essential biological system and therefore fuel exponential research into life-changing drugs.
