Job description

Here at Silico we are empowering leaders to make the best decisions by creating a platform for simulating possible futures and selecting for the best outcome. We are proud of the impact our technology is already having on critical decision-making. Here are just a few examples from current customers:

• Healthcare leaders are able to simulate demand on hospital services to better manage capacity in the face of unprecedented disruption due to the global pandemic.
• Marketing Executives are able to move beyond past data and better understand their next best moves, including identifying how to better allocate budget across channels and activities.

• A focus on quality, but with the pragmatism to deliver and improve later.
• Someone looking for self-direction and responsibility in equal measure, and real product impact.
