Salt Lake, Utah, United States Recursion Full time
Your work will change lives. Including your own.

At Recursion we combine experimental biology, automation, and artificial intelligence to quickly and efficiently identify treatments for human diseases. Today we have four drugs in the clinic, and in the next 10 years we hope to discover 100 more. We are transforming drug discovery into a data science problem, and to do that we are building a platform for rapid biological experimentation, data generation, automated analysis, model training, and prediction.

The Impact You'll Make

Build production-grade tools and APIs to query petabytes of biological data and AI models. You will play a role in building the tooling that gets our proprietary data and technologies from the lab to our partner-facing apps automatically and efficiently in the context of a production-grade cloud product.
Create delightful user experiences meeting drug discovery scientists' needs. Our tools need to help scientists generate disease treatment hypotheses without getting in the way. You will partner with scientists to understand their workflows and build world-class data-centric user experiences enabling them to work as efficiently as possible
Lead the way in designing, architecting and implementing the next generation of LLM-enabled software for drug discovery. We believe LLMs are powerful reasoning engines that will drastically change the way companies build and deliver software. You will embrace this paradigm shift and be at the forefront of the large language models revolution. On top of solving the traditional technical challenges of building a product on the cloud, you will be faced with modern technical problems in embedding AI-first and LLM-first features in our platform
Every Recursion engineer acts as a mentor, coach, and sponsor. You will share your technical knowledge and experiences, increasing learning, growth, and impact within and beyond your team

Location: This is a hybrid position based out of one of our offices in Salt Lake City, UT or Toronto, ON

The Team You'll Join

The team develops workflows and platforms for every step of the process of exploring biological data. This includes creating reusable, composable solutions for designing, tracking, and executing experiments, transmitting and archiving the resulting data, and running arbitrary analysis code against all that we have discovered. This is an ideal team for someone who isn't fazed by ambiguity and is eager to tackle challenging issues. It's a perfect environment for those who adapt easily to change and strive in dynamic situations. If working cross-functionally with peers across different areas appeals to you, you'll fit right in.

The Experience You'll Need:

Experience programming professionally, in projects with significant ambiguity and technical complexity, ideally spanning multiple production systems and involving diverse technologies.
Experience being resourceful and collaborative in order to complete large projects.
A people-first mindset. We work closely with people from a wide variety of professional and academic disciplines. Despite the deadlines, we always prioritize supporting our coworkers in their growth and experience.
Excitement to learn parts of our tech stack that you might not already know. Our current tech stack includes Python, Go, and JavaScript/React. We work a lot with PostgreSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes, on cloud services provided by Google Cloud Platform.
Solid computer science fundamentals, e.g. data structures, RESTful APIs, frontend development, etc
A background in biology is not necessary, but intellectual curiosity is a must

How You'll be Supported
Peer mentor assigned for onboarding during first 90 days
Regular 1:1s with supervisor for support and feedback
Dedicated sessions to walkthrough services/systems, that you will support
1on1 introductions with cross functional peers, that you will partner closely with
Opportunities to participate in coaching programs

The Values That We Hope You Share:

We Care: We care about our drug candidates, our Recursionauts, their families, each other, our communities, the patients we aim to serve and their loved ones. We also care about our work.
We Learn: Learning from the diverse perspectives of our fellow Recursionauts, and from failure, is an essential part of how we make progress.
We Deliver: We are unapologetic that our expectations for delivery are extraordinarily high. There is urgency to our existence: we sprint at maximum engagement, making time and space to recover.
Act Boldly with Integrity: No company changes the world or reinvents an industry without being bold. It must be balanced; not by timidity, but by doing the right thing even when no one is looking.
We are One Recursion: We operate with a 'company first, team second' mentality. Our success comes from working as one interdisciplinary team.

Recursion spends time and energy connecting every aspect of work to these values. They aren't static, but regularly discussed and questioned because we make decisions rooted in those values in our day-to-day work. You can read more about our values and how we live them every day here.
