The Opportunity
At insitro, we are shaping the future of drug discovery by combining human biology and machine learning to discover new therapeutics. At the heart of our strategy is the true partnership between various disciplines and expertises to produce large and high quality data sets that will drive machine learning and yield key biological insights. You will be joining the first satellite insitro hub that’s emerging in Poland. This role will be based “remote”, and you may work from your home office. You’ll be working in a highly collaborative and dynamic research environment of a biotech startup, where we aim to advance the rate of scientific discovery using purposefully built solutions. You will work closely with a very talented team of distinguished scientists and engineers. We offer both long-term stability thanks to significant funding, but also a mentality and work style of an early stage startup. Therefore, you will directly contribute to shaping insitro’s culture, strategic direction, and outcomes, with many opportunities for significant and diverse impact across several functions and disciplines. This is an exciting time to join us in leading the way to better medicines, with the integration of computer science, machine learning and biology at scale. Come join us, and help make a difference to patients!
 
 
The Role
Data Engineering plays an essential role in insitro’s approach to rethinking drug development, shaping the foundations of a truly data-driven and integrated drug discovery approach.We are seeking talented and highly motivated software engineers to join our newly formed, remote engineering office in Poland.
