Epistemic AI | Product, Data, Front-end , Full-Stack Eng | Remote | Full-Time | https://www.epistemic.ai

Drop us a line at jobs@epistemic.ai

We are a team of scientists, engineers, and life science veterans building the next generation of tools to accelerate biomedical research using AI. Thanks to the Epistemic AI platform, world-renowned scientific institutions discovered new drugs, biomarkers and made therapies available to patients faster. We are eager to expand our team with people passionate about our mission.

We are looking to hire senior or lead level:

  - bioinformatician/biomedical data engineers

  - front-end engineers

  - AI engineers 

  - product managers 

  - choose-your-own-adventure engineers
If you're an engineer and don't remember what the difference is between a thread and a process or do not feel like you understand the basics of networking to debug a front end application, you might want to make sure you review enough fundamentals before applying.

We are searching for demonstrably tenacious, resilient individuals who are relentless in their pursuit of a solution and who thrive when challenged. You, like us, have the desire and drive to build something incredible from the ground up. You, like us, are competitive yet collaborative and strive for excellence in your work. You have passion and compassion, with empathy and deep respect for customers and colleagues. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

Our team is fully remote, with team members in North America, Europe, and APAC. We hire in all time zones. The compensation we are offering is generous for a company of our size, including competitive cash and equity compensation, 401K matching, excellent health insurance (no monthly payments). We also subsidize equipment, education, and home office furniture.

Our technology stack is based on AWS, K8s, Terraform, Ansible (Infra); Python 3 and Rust (Backend); SQL, Knowledge Graphs, Airflow (Data); Tensorflow, Pytorch, Generative Models (AI), Typescript and React (Frontend).

If you're intrigued and want to come help accelerate biomedical research please drop us a line at jobs@epistemic.ai


I'm Stefano, co-founder and CEO, AMA!


No questions, but thanks for noting that you hire in APAC! I wrote an (admittedly frustrated) blog post about global startups not hiring in Aus/Asian timezones, it's a bit of a buzzkill when you're on the job hunt and get excited about companies only to find they aren't truly remote: https://www.warmhq.com/blog/why-dont-startups-hire-australia...


I think this is an exciting opportunity at the intersection of bioinformatics, data science, and data engineering. I emailed my application, with the beginning of the last name matching the last 5 letters of this username. I'm wondering if your platform for omics analysis, which is species-specific [0], could also identify commonalities across species, like with the recently released TranscriptFormer [1]? Also, I think your platform is really useful for understanding the "native language of biology", which I think is covered well in an article I came across recently as well [2].

This is a weird thing to add when you're looking for a bioinformatician dev:

> If you don't remember what the difference is between a thread and a process or do not feel like you understand the basics of networking to debug a front end application, you might want to make sure you review enough fundamentals before applying.

While we will know the difference between a thread and a process, we generally dont work with websites/front end technology.


while I agree with the sentiment that it's hard to evaluate the real gains, it's definitely not just about code generation. Debugging is a a big part of the value, IMO.


extradition


There are a lot of countries that don't have extradition treaties with the US.


Most of the ones where I’d want to live very much have extradition policies with the US [1].

Countries-I'd-not/want-to-live is an odd threat model.


Good luck extraditing Russian or Chinese hackers.


by mapping `:` to `;` you actually can save by just typing rather than using those pesky modifier keys :-) That's invaluable to my wrists.


This doesn't solve anything as it's still an unconstrained experience and allows ;w2

Space,S is saving by just typing

And you can also use ; for a much more frequent operation - cursor movement


you might want to try

    about:profiles
create a new profile and use that for testing


> ”who occasionally uses plugin-less Chrome”

Exactly, simply use a second “plugin-less” FireFox profile.

And if you really need a Chromium browser, Brave is a better choice than Google Chrome (for privacy reasons…)


I read the parent comment to mean he declined the offer, not that he didn't receive it


Sorry, to be fully clear - i had an internship offer from apple that i declined, and i think i also declined to do the interview process at sonos before getting to the offer stage.


Best wishes to you and partner/spouse and most importantly to your little one.


Thanks. She's doing much better since the surgery thankfully. Getting through the roughest parts (after the surreal part) help to make us stronger and all that.


Except that for software this is so much more complex than for any other type of products.


I have submitted a comment to the Notice, as well emailed my Represenatives and state Governor. I urge every one to do the same, this is absolutely bonkers and I agree that it will severely affect the startup ecosystem.


Epistemic AI | Data or Full-Stack Eng | Remote | Full-Time | https://www.epistemic.ai

We (Epistemic AI) are looking to hire a new data engineer to work on the data foundations of our Epistemic AI platform – anywhere between UTC-8 and UTC+3.

Requirements:

- you get shit done

- you want to work remotely

- you are great to work with

- you think that working on democratizing access to AI for biomedical research is a very important personal goal

Our technology stack is based on AWS (Cloud), Python 3, Tensorflow, Pytorch (NLP, ML, Deep Learning), Graph databases, Typescript and React (Frontend). We have a CI/CD pipeline and a continuous release process. We train ML and NLP models on clusters of GPUs on Amazon and on Google Cloud TPUs.


Very interested, will be applying soon! Just under 10 years total experience, 8 of that as some form of data engineer and the latter 5 being heavily focused on ML infrastructure/ops/tooling with one of my favorite roles being in biomedical research (digital twins for chronic illness - and my academic background is in neuroscience). Looking forward to learning more.


Hey, I am a software engineer/full stack with 5 YoE in which I have worked as a founding engineer in a couple of startups and all of them were globally remote. Can I ping you my CV?


I am interested. I worked as a Software Engineer/ ML Engineer for 5+ years and I recently graduated with a MS CS from NYU Courant.


I'm the CEO and co-founder, AMA!


Looks like that role is not here: https://epistemic.notion.site/Welcome-to-Epistemic-AI-s-care...

With the time zone thing, would you consider any time zone / hours that can sync with your team?


Thank you quick thrower, we have not update the website. We Will fix that


> I'm the CEO and co-founder, AMA!

Interesting concept, using NLP for biomedical research but I'm not sure how the nuts and bolts would work; I'm a 2nd year AI and ML student (US based) taking next semester off and thinking about jumping ship to Cybersecurity, any chance of an internship to see what is under the hood in this space?

All I've seen was a flood short-lived froth caused by LLM hype and to be honest I'm not sure that is going anywhere that OpenAI hasn't already been in these last 6 months.


Dear Melting Harps,

Not hiring interns right now, unfortunately.

Good luck to you!


Could you kindly confirm if the specified time-zone range is to be strictly adhered to?


Hi we prefer to hire in those timezones but will consider people with proven ability to get $hit done remotely :-)


Thanks Will be sending my resume


Why would you use Tensorflow?


I guess listing tensorflow first was a mistake. Mostly PyTorch but a couple of TF models we have not ported.
