Founding Member of Technical Staff -Software Engineer

Stealth Startup

The Opportunity

We're building the data layer that every AI drug discovery will run on.

Backed by an Nvidia VP. Working with top AI labs, global tech company and global pharma. Growing fast.

We need an engineer who can lead — not just do the work.

Role Description 

We are hiring a Founding Full Stack Engineer for a full-time job. This role is ideal for early-career engineers who are eager to build scalable systems and grow in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. 

You will contribute to the development of our platform by working across both front-end and back-end systems. You will collaborate closely with experienced engineers, product managers, and domain experts to deliver high-quality features and improve system performance. 

Roles

  • Build and ship full-stack web apps end-to-end — wielding cutting-edge AI agents and modern infra to go from architecture to production fast, owning features the whole way
  • Craft front-ends people enjoy using and back-ends that scale — APIs, data pipelines, and LLM/agent integrations that just work
  • Ship clean, well-tested code at speed — orchestrating AI agents to write and debug, then profiling and optimizing for real-world load
  • Partner across product, design, and engineering to ship what matters, and push the team toward AI-native workflows through sharp code reviews 

 

Qualifications 

  • 0–3 years building for the web — a CS or engineering degree, or equivalent chops from side projects, open source, or a bootcamp. We care that you can build, not where you learned it
  • Strong front-end fundamentals — fluent in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and at home in a modern framework like React, Vue, or Angular
  • Comfortable on the back end too — Python, Node, or similar, with solid API instincts (cloud experience a plus)
  • A sharp, fast-learning problem-solver and clear communicator — bonus points if you're already building with AI tools and hungry to go deeper

Why Join

  • Founding team. Real equity. Real impact.
  • The intersection of AI + drug development. The most exciting space in biotech.
  • Backed by Nvidia VP. Working with Google, OpenAI, top pharma.
  • Your work will train the AI models that discover the next breakthrough drug.

Apply If

You want to build infrastructure that matters.

You want to be early at a company that's going to be big.
