Company mission
To accelerate the world’s ability to learn, discover and communicate science.
Role
Who you are
- Technical Chops: You’ve got a solid foundation in machine learning concepts (e.g., neural networks, supervised/unsupervised learning) and proficiency in Python and building fullstack products that leverage them
- You’ve worked with TensorFlow, PyTorch and single page apps on top of cloud platforms like AWS/GCP
- A Portfolio That Speaks for Itself: Show us what you’ve built—whether it’s a GitHub repo, Kaggle competition results, or a personal project that pushed your limits
- Curiosity Meets Grit: You don’t just solve problems—you obsess over them until they’re cracked wide open
- You learn fast, adapt faster, and never back down from a challenge
- A Builder’s Mentality: You don’t wait for someone else to tell you what to do—you take the initiative and figure it out yourself
- Team Player with an Edge: You collaborate well but aren’t afraid to challenge ideas (including your own) to get to the best solution
What the job involves
- This role is for someone who thrives on solving hard problems, learning fast, and creating solutions that others said couldn’t be done
- We need an ambitious builder that gets stuff shipped
- Invent the Future: Leverage ML/AI to tackle real-world problems in scientific visualization, data analysis, or image processing
- Think Beyond the Obvious: Dive deep into challenges, explore unconventional solutions, and deliver results that exceed expectations
- Collaborate with the Best: Work alongside world-class engineers and domain experts who will push you to grow every day
- Own Your Work: Take full end-to-end ownership of customer problems—from data gathering to production solutions
- Stay Ahead of the Curve: Keep up with cutting-edge research in AI and find ways to apply it in ways no one else has thought of yet
- You’ll be given real responsibility from day one because we trust you to rise to the occasion
Application process
- Submit your resume
- Share links to projects or code that demonstrate your skills (GitHub repos are gold)
- Tell us why you’re excited about this role—and why we should be excited about you
Our take
One of the best ways for science students and experts to communicate ideas is through diagrams, but not everyone has the illustration skills to pull this off. Whilst computer graphics can be used instead of manually drawing scientific imagery, the lack of a dedicated resource for such images prevents diagrams from being consistent and professional.
Biorender hosts thousands of pre-made icons and templates to be used in the creation of diagrams across over 30 different life science fields. The resources follow consistent quality standards and can be dragged and dropped within the platform to create scientific diagrams, to be used by students, teachers, labs, and educational institutions.
Other visual libraries that include scientific icons and templates exist for the creation of diagrams, but Biorender has presented a novel idea with its exhaustive library, offering to produce missing icons on demand within 48 hours. The entire library is free to use alongside basic design features by individuals for educational purposes, with more advanced features and paid licenses being available for labs and institutions. Its success at visualising complex diagrams and information has helped Biorender achieve several rounds of substantial funding.
