Senior Software / AI Engineer

Pathos is building the first AI‑native biotech platform—one that turns massive multimodal datasets into foundation models, and those models into live agents that materially change how drug development is done. Instead of bolting AI onto legacy pharma systems, we’re designing a new stack from the ground up. We’re hiring experienced engineers to architect and ship the first generation of Pathos’ AI and data infrastructure. Your work will power our core products and enable agents that support BD, clinical development, computational biology, and lab teams. This is a ground‑floor role with broad technical scope and ownership. If you want to build the technical infrastructure that rewires the R&D workflow, this is the place to do your career’s best work. This will be one of the most direct applications of your technical skills to advancements in cancer research. What You’ll Build AI agents / copilots for internal teams (BD, clinical, comp‑bio, lab). Robust data pipelines into a governed warehouse / knowledge graph. MCP‑style servers and tooling so agents can safely talk to internal systems.
