About us

Founded in 2018, Causaly accelerates how humans acquire knowledge and develop insights in biomedical science. Our production-grade generative AI platform for research insights and knowledge automation enables thousands of scientists to discover evidence from millions of academic publications, clinical trials, regulatory documents, patents and other data sources… in minutes. 

We work with some of the world's largest biopharma companies and institutions on use cases spanning Drug Discovery, Safety and Competitive Intelligence. You can read more about how we accelerate knowledge acquisition and improve decision making in our blog posts here: Blog - Causaly 

We are backed by top VCs including ICONIQ, Index Ventures, Pentech and Marathon.

Requirements

What we are looking for

We are looking for engineers with background and expertise in all things data, who love to explore and wrangle with data, enable and empower data science as much as knowledge generation. You will work on bridging the gap between domain semantics and engineering. This spans from modelling data and knowledge, over analysing and exploring all sorts of data, to designing complex algorithms and developing production-grade software for processing, cleaning, integrating data & knowledge resources. You will be part of the Data & Semantic Technologies team, responsible for designing and building the highly scalable and flexible data fabric essential for realising Causaly’s vision. You will enable and empower other engineering teams and create true business value by linking their outcomes.

Successful candidates are capable, talented, engaged and passionate about creating industry-strength architectures and solutions that unleash the value of data.
