The Impact You’ll Make
With treatments for hundreds of diseases in our sights, we’ve built a data science team with domain expertise in computer science, bioinformatics, physics, biology, mathematics, applied statistics, and more. We work side-by-side with software engineers, machine learning engineers, biologists, oncologists, chemists, and many others; together, we develop the tools and methods to turn our experimental data into treatments for pathologies that affect the lives of countless individuals. As a data scientist supporting the development of our industrialized workflows, you’ll work with a highly dynamic team that is focused on improving how we move from ideation through to advanced candidate drugs in a way that accelerates decision-making and automates as much as possible to scale the impact that we can have.
You'll be building, designing and maintaining the platform that we have created to industrialize drug discovery, which delivers analysis and insights from the up to 2.2 million experiments that we run each week. You will be focused on thinking of how to modernize drug discovery, and step away from slow moving processes that have plagued the creation of new medicines for decades.
In this role, you will:
Respond to on-call needs in the development of our pipeline
Location:
Making Salt Lake City your home base is ideal, however, we will consider on-site work in our Toronto, Ontario offices as well.
The Team You’ll Join
We are an application-oriented group whose goal is to discover drugs at scale, using the toolkit of computational science in collaboration with our counterparts in other engineering (software and data engineering, laboratory automation), scientific (biology, chemistry, clinical science), and operational (laboratory operations, regulatory affairs) disciplines. We are value-driving - data science at Recursion is not just an accelerating function; it is a core part of our value proposition. As data scientists, we are responsible for showing up as leaders and visionaries, helping to shape how Recursion delivers on our mission. We work on what matters and deliver in timescales of weeks not quarters. We focus on the impact that we are trying to make and the “why” of what we are trying to deliver and are resilient if the “how” of what we are doing needs to change.
