Salt Lake City, United States RECURSION CO Full time
Please Note: Our offices are closed for our annual Summer Break from Monday, July 1, 2024 through Friday, July 5, 2024. Our response to your application will be delayed.
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 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, Django, FastAPI, Typescript, NextJS, and React. We also work a lot with PostgreSQL, Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, and 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 an intellectual curiosity is a must
The Team You'll Join

We have multiple teams that are in need of Full Stack Engineers. You're welcome to call out a specific team that might be of interest to you, but you'll be considered for all three by default.
Biology Stream Aligned Team, Bio SAT (Staff Full Stack)

This nimble team of engineers develop workflows and modules for Recursion's original platform, which has generated billions of Biological Data points. This includes creating reusable, composable solutions for designing, tracking, and executing experiments, transmitting and archiving the resulting data, and programmatically running analysis code against our exponentially increasing Biological Data points. 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.
Translation Stream Aligned Team, TSAT (Staff Full Stack or Sr. Full Stack)

TSAT is a skeleton crew stemming from the Vium acquisition in 2020. We are a hybrid team of six consisting of people in Engineering and Data. TSAT focuses on scaling and automating mice and rat experiments and generating insights for scientists to predict clinically significant outcomes. As a member of this team, you can expect to make technical contributions across front end (15%), backend (40%), infrastructure (30%), and IoT (15%) and collaborate with our stakeholders in the Recursion Vivarium in California. Furthermore, we are looking for someone who is well-versed in Agile delivery and someone who can act as a mentor to help grow other Engineers. If individuals do not meet all of these criteria, we might consider bringing someone on at the Sr. Full Stack level.
LOWE (Sr. Full Stack)

LOWE is a new product we are building to orchestrate complex drug discovery workflows via a natural language interface and interactive graphics. At the forefront of LOWE's functionality is its ability to integrate with Recursion OS to make available our infrastructure, data, and algorithms to users of LOWE. This is your opportunity to lead a paradigm shift in the industry and accelerate delivering therapeutics to patients. We are looking for people who will help us build out an enterprise, industry-changing product. On this hybrid team of Engineers and Data practitioners, you will make technical contributions across front end (30%), backend (40%), infrastructure (30%) and work with various teams across RecursionOS to incorporate more functionality into LOWE. Because LOWE is an early stage product, we are looking for nimble individuals who can deliver even when faced with ambiguity and evolving requirements. LOWE also has a higher standard for the quality of frontend work because it's intended to be an external-facing product, so candidates should feel very comfortable with making frontend contributions.
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
At Recursion, we believe that every employee should be compensated fairly. Based on the skill and level of experience required for this role, the estimated current annual base range for this role is:

Staff Software Engineer USD
  • Developing: $182,000.00
  • Skilled: $193,000.00

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.
