Valthos is an applied biological intelligence company. We build and deploy software and biological AI systems to safeguard humanity.

The same AI architectures that enable self-driving cars, land rockets with precision, and deliver expert-level reasoning are beginning to be deployed in biological design. To stay ahead, we must advance our arsenal of tools to capture and design against real-time sensitivities in nature’s evolving mutational landscape.

We are a group of mission-driven software engineers from Palantir and applied biological ML engineers from DeepMind and MIT’s Broad Institute making the latest advances in computational biology accessible for federal and commercial use.

About the Role

We are a small, highly motivated team. Leadership and autonomy are extended to those who take initiative and consistently deliver high-quality outcomes.

As biological systems become exponentially easier to design - biology will be the defining technology of the 21st century. This has opened up a new paradigm. In order to drive real-world value - such as for biosecurity and therapeutic design of biologics- we need to build systems that can intelligently orchestrate and connect the dots between these biological methods to make them usable.

Some of our work is fine-tuning powerful models, some of our work is in high-velocity product engineering to make these models available in the real-world, and some of the work we do is ensuring that all of the above takes place in the fastest, end-to-end way.


In this role you will:

• Work in a flat, collaborative environment, closely partnering with our computational biology, software engineering and product teams to bring the latest capabilities into production.
  

• Build in a full stack capacity. Fluently navigate across deep parts of backend and infrastructure engineering and back up to product and design.
  

• Collaborate with other engineers, product managers, and researchers to build infrastructure that meets evolving needs.
  

• Design, operate, and scale secure distributed systems.

Contact

Please email a project you're proud of to contact@valthos.com. If there is a fit, we'll schedule 2 quick technicals. The final step is an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and work with the wider team.
