Job Description

Career Renew is recruiting for one of its clients a Senior/Staff Full Stack Engineer - this is an onsite role in San Francisco. Salary range: 175-270K USD base plus benefits plus equity.

The scientific decision engine for R&D. Raw data defensible decisions, faster.

Pharma and biotech R&D often spend weeks, or even months, learning, coding, and troubleshooting discovery analysis pipelines. This slows research and diverts focus from the work that truly matters: discovery.

We change that. Using only natural language from the user, our AI builds custom workflows with full transparency and reproducibility for discovery data (omics and beyond), on-demand and in minutes, not weeks. Discovery researchers across therapeutic areas can instantly align, analyze, interpret, integrate, and iterate hypotheses for complex datasets without manual coding or repetitive setup.

By automating these time-consuming processes, we empower scientists to spend more time designing experiments, testing insights, and driving high-quality discoveries, including novel IP. From accelerating data analysis to uncovering novel targets and biomarkers, we are the Scientific Decision Engine that turns data into actionable breakthroughs.

We're looking for a Senior/Staff Full Stack Engineer with 4+ YOE to join our Engineering team. We need a builder who is excited to create foundational systems and have meaningful influence on our technology as we work to accelerate drug discovery and improve human health globally. This is a top priority hire driven by our hypergrowth and the need to scale our core product to meet surging enterprise demand.
