Full Stack Software Engineer
Job Description
VantAI is at the forefront of AI-enabled drug discovery, combining cutting-edge machine learning with deep systems biology expertise. We're seeking a Full Stack Software Engineer to join our core application team, focusing on developing sophisticated scientific workflows and visualization tools.
The role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, biology, chemistry, and computational science. You'll be developing scalable chemical databases, creating visualization tools for complex experimental data, and building cheminformatics solutions. Our tech stack is diverse, including Python, Go, Rust, and React, running on Docker/Kubernetes in GCP.
As an ideal candidate, you'll bring 4+ years of software team experience and 2+ years of full-stack development experience. Your expertise in Python, modern JavaScript frameworks (particularly React), and cloud-native architectures will be essential. We particularly value your ability to work with complex data visualization and 3D visualization libraries.
What makes this role exciting is the direct impact you'll have on drug discovery innovation. You'll work with cutting-edge technology while solving real-world problems in healthcare and biotechnology. The position offers competitive compensation ($120,000 - $190,000 for NYC) and the flexibility of remote work, with offices in New York and Zurich.
We're looking for someone who combines technical expertise with intellectual curiosity and independence. While experience in drug discovery or scientific workflows is desired, we value versatility and eagerness to learn above specific domain knowledge. Join us in revolutionizing drug discovery through AI and computational biology.
