Based in Emeryville, CA, we are backed by leading investors including Spark Capital, Insight Partners, Air Street Capital, AIX Ventures, and Convergent Ventures. Our generative models learn the blueprint of life by modeling large-scale evolutionary data, enabling us to engineer and write biology in unprecedented ways.

  • Enhance our CI/CD pipelines to catch regressions (e.g Github Actions)

Qualifications

  • BS in Computer Science or a related field
  • 2+ years of industry experience working with cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, Neo-Clouds, …)
  • Familiarity with K8s, Terraform, and Docker
  • Worked with production backend systems (database, services, etc)

Preferences (but not required)

  • Experienced with the challenges of working with large scale ML models
  • Experience with transitioning research ideas into production
