Job Description

At Diffuse Bio we’re building generative AI for protein therapeutics. Our team has been behind breakthroughs in AI protein design for the past 6 years, including the first experimental validation of AI-generated proteins and diffusion models for protein structure and sequence. We’ve built the first entirely AI computational nanobody design platform and are testing designs in lab now.

Our goal is to build AI systems that can design protein therapeutics for the most challenging and high-value targets. We see enormous potential for AI to revolutionize drug discovery and expand the set of diseases we can treat.

We are looking for candidates who are excited about the opportunity to join the founding team and play an expanding role in the company.

The role:

• The product engineer should be able to add and update functionality to our web service.
• Defining protocol buffer APIs for browser-server and server-worker interactions.
• Implementing the interactions by:
• Writing good unit and integration tests for the backend.
• Evaluating and adopting frameworks such as React or htmx for the frontend and building custom UIs.
• Being scrappy and fast in development while not compromising good design principles.

Ideal background:

• The ideal candidate will have strong experience with python, protocol buffers, javascript, and a frontend framework of their choice. They will have demonstrated experience in designing nontrivial UIs with HTML and javascript (e.g. a UI for free-form drawing, a web UI for a game, etc).

What we offer:

• The opportunity to join the founding team and play a critical and expanding role in shaping the company.
• The opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI with leading researchers with an application and productization focus.
