Member of Technical Staff - Product Engineer

PRODUCT ENGINEER

Valthos Inc.

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 MIT's Broad Institute and DeepMind making the latest advances in computational biology accessible in the real-world for federal and commercial use.

We are seeking a full-stack product engineer to join our team and lead the design and development of a new platform for biodefense, allowing Valthos to bring frontier methods to end users. In this role, you will design and develop the user-facing layer of our operating system for biodefense, building intuitive, powerful interfaces that surface anomalies and derive insights from biological data. This role requires a product-minded engineer who can translate complex workflows into elegant user experiences while being able to architect the full-stack systems that power them.

QUALIFICATIONS (REQUIRED)

- Strong understanding of UX principles, design systems, and creating intuitive user experiences for technical products

- Experience with data visualization libraries and techniques for presenting complex information clearly

- Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end from design through deployment

- Ability to iterate quickly in fast feedback loops, and spin up prototypes to test hypotheses

QUALIFICATIONS (PREFERRED)

- Experience working with React, Typescript, Tailwind, and Next.js, or similar languages and frameworks

- Experience visualizing technically complex topics or data (e.g. software for biology, hardware, large-scale unstructured data, etc.)

- Contributions to open-source projects or portfolio of personal fullstack projects, ideally with users

If there is a fit, we will schedule behavioral and technical interviews. The final step is an onsite in our office, where you will work on a small project, discuss ideas, and work with the wider team.
