• Safeguard data integrity and quality in line with FAIR principles
• Collaborate with software engineers and data scientists to enable AI&ML operations
• Act as the go-to contact for lab scientists using our data products and infrastructure

Qualifications & experience

• A degree in chemistry, biology, bioinformatics or a related field
• A strong passion for data in drug discovery
• 3+ years of industry experience in a scientific environment, with hands-on exposure to drug discovery
• data and how it flows from design through synthesis and testing
• Good working knowledge of Python and common data libraries
• Experience with relational databases and SQL
• Experience designing data structures for scientific data
• Strong communication skills and a track record of working collaboratively with scientists

Nice to have

• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP)
