Job Description
About Xaira Therapeutics Xaira is an innovative biotech startup focused on leveraging AI to transform drug discovery and development. The company is leading the development of generative AI models to design protein and antibody therapeutics, enabling the creation of medicines against historically hard-to-drug molecular targets. It is also developing foundation models for biology and disease to enable better target elucidation and patient stratification. Collectively, these technologies aim to continually enable the identification of novel therapies and to improve success in drug development. Xaira is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and London. About the Role We are seeking a Lab Software Engineer to join our interdisciplinary data and bioinformatics engineering team, working at the intersection of AI, scientific workflows and therapeutic discovery. In this role, you will collaborate closely with AI scientists, lab scientists, and drug discovery experts to design, build, and deploy software systems that accelerate the identification and development of novel therapeutics. This role spans a range of problem spaces, from building software that can interact with lab instruments to capture data to designing data models to store complex biological data. We are particularly interested in candidates who are excited to develop software and data models which will have a real-world impact within drug discovery, and who are comfortable working in fast-paced, cross-functional environments. What You Will Do Design and develop software to interact with lab instruments to capture data in a mix of high and low throughput experiments. Build scalable pipelines for automated processing of instrument data. Collaborate with computational and experimental teams to define data models/schemas for experimental samples and data. Develop APIs and tools to aggregate data for analysis and visualization. Participate in the configuration and management of our
