Your work will change lives. Including your own.
Recursion is a leading, clinical-stage TechBio company decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery. Central to its mission is the Recursion Operating System (OS), a platform built across diverse technologies that continuously expands one of the world’s largest proprietary biological, chemical and patient-centric datasets. Recursion leverages sophisticated machine-learning algorithms to distill from its dataset a collection of trillions of searchable relationships across biology and chemistry unconstrained by human bias. By commanding massive experimental scale—up to millions of wet lab experiments weekly—and massive computational scale—owning and operating one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world—Recursion is uniting technology, biology, chemistry and patient-centric data to advance the future of medicine. Today, Recursion has more than 10 clinical and preclinical programs, 10 advanced discovery programs, and more than 10 partnered programs.
The Impact You’ll Make
- Build production-grade tools and APIs to query petabytes of biological data and AI models. You will play a role in building the tooling that gets our proprietary data and technologies from the lab to our partner-facing apps automatically and efficiently in the context of a production-grade cloud product.
- Create novel infrastructure to support and deliver on industrial-scale clinical trials. Our infrastructure needs to help clinical operations and development teams make accurate traceable decisions to enable advancement of a drug through clinical trials. You will partner with these teams to understand their workflows and regulatory needs. You will be an advisor of buy solutions and focus engineering efforts on unique build solutions that offer world-class data-focused user experiences to help them operate in the most efficient manner possible.
- Lead the way in designing, architecting and implementing the next generation of LLM-enabled software for drug discovery. We believe LLMs are powerful reasoning engines that will drastically change the way companies build and deliver software. You will embrace this paradigm shift and be at the forefront of the large language models revolution. On top of solving the traditional technical challenges of building a product on the cloud, you will be faced with modern technical problems in embedding AI-first and LLM-first features in our platform
- Every Recursion engineer acts as a mentor, coach, and sponsor. You will share your technical knowledge and experiences, increasing learning, growth, and impact within and beyond your team
