Job description

About Tahoe Therapeutics

Tahoe Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pioneering a fundamentally new approach to drug discovery, one that begins with the biology of real patients. Our Mosaic platform is the first to make in vivo data generation scalable, with single-cell resolution, allowing us to map how drugs affect patient-derived cells in the body across a wide range of biological contexts. We are building the world’s largest in vivo single-cell perturbation atlas, and using it to train multimodal foundation models that learn the context-dependent nature of gene function, disease progression, and drug response. By combining cutting-edge machine learning with the most biologically relevant datasets ever assembled in drug discovery, our mission is to find better drugs, faster, and bring them to more patients who need them.

Your Role

You will design, build and help maintain the cloud and software infrastructure that underpins both our large-scale data pipelines and state-of-the-art machine-learning platform. You will proactively identify the organization software needs by partnering closely with experimental and computational scientists. Along the way, you’ll champion best practices around scalability, documentation, cost optimization and security. This role requires physical presence in the Toronto office for at least 3 days per week.
