Software Engineer, (Data Engineering)

Isomorphic Labs (IsoLabs) was founded in 2021 and is led by Sir Demis Hassabis, building on the success of Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold to accelerate drug discovery with state‑of‑the‑art AI models.

We are here to advance human health by reimagining drug discovery with the power and pace of artificial intelligence.

We are looking for outstanding software engineers to work on different aspects of our ML‑based software platform such as data, backend and full‑stack engineering, ML engineering, as well as technical and cloud infrastructure. We are keen on receiving applications from individuals who sit at the intersection of one or more of these fields.

• 
  
• Ingestion, management and serving of scientific data
  
• Backend and full‑stack engineering for the build‑out of scientific applications and data‑management tools
  
• Building a state‑of‑the‑art platform for conducting ML research with high velocity and reliability
  
• Building key MLOps components for transferring models from research to production at scale
  
• Working on low‑level performance optimisation to increase the efficiency and performance of ML models and infrastructure
  
• Optimising and maximising our compute resources and fleet of accelerators for large‑scale training and inference
  

• 
  
• Strong software engineering experience with software design / architecture skills
  
• Extensive enterprise programming experience writing production code using mainstream languages such as Python, Java, C++ or Go
  
• Experience with Kubernetes and cloud computing
  
• Experience building secure/scalable platforms/products on cloud
  
• Demonstrated ability to work in multi‑disciplinary teams and environments
  
• Great degree of adaptability and a willingness to work across domains and different parts of the tech stack when needed
  
• Demonstrate ongoing career progression / trajectory and a passion for learning
  
• MSc in computer science, or equivalent experience
  

• 
  
• Expertise in Python
  
• Experience with the management of scientific and experimental wet‑lab data in a pharma context
  
• Experience building backend systems for web applications, using technologies such as Django, SQLalchemy, Pydantic, PostgreSQL
  
• Experience designing, implementing and maintaining relational data models with Python‑based interfaces
  
• Experience developing frontend applications in a scientific context
  
• Experience building, optimising and productionising large‑scale deep‑learning models
  
• Hands‑on experience with cloud engineering in a compute‑heavy environment, preferably on GCP
  
• Hands‑on experience optimising the use of fleets of hardware accelerators
  
• Experience with low‑level hardware specific optimisation for deep learning
  
• Experience with life‑sciences data, including bioinformatics, computational chemistry, and biomedical research data
  

We are guided by our shared values. These values help to guide our work and will continue to strengthen it.

Thoughtful at Iso is about curiosity, creativity and care. It is about good people doing good, rigorous and future‑making science every single day.

Brave at Iso is about fearlessness, but it’s also about initiative and integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.

Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. It’s a confidence in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility needed to deliver on it.

Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships. It’s knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering that what we’re doing will have a real impact on real people everywhere.

It’s hugely important for us to share knowledge and build strong relationships with each other, and we find it easier to do this if we spend time together in person. This is why we follow a hybrid model, and would require you to be able to come into the office 3 days a week (currently Tuesday, Wednesday and one other day depending on the team).

We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable law. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.
