Job Description

Software Engineering plays a key role in insitro’s approach to rethinking drug development. Our team is responsible for ensuring our biological data factory’s robots and instruments produce high quality data, optimizing storage, queries, and ingestion of petabytes of experimental results. On top of this stack, we build the infrastructure that our machine learning engineers and scientists leverage to train powerful models that solve key problems in the drug development process.

This summer we are looking for highly motivated interns looking to work at this intersection of software engineering and the life sciences. You will be paired directly with an engineering mentor and lead a project from inception to prototype over the course of the summer.

Here are some examples of the style of project you can expect to work on:

  • Design and implement an extraction and transformation pipeline for a new microscope.
  • Integrate a new physical instrument into our robotic automation stack.
  • Add a feature to our internal ML experimentation system to improve performance profiling of multi-GPU training jobs.

Beyond your primary project, you will work closely with a talented team of engineers and scientists, learn a broad range of skills, and have the opportunity to present your work to the rest of the company.

Join us, and help make a difference to patients!
