About this role

Founding Software Engineer San Francisco | OnSite ABOUT TAMARIND BIO We enable any scientist to access AI-powered drug discovery. Thousands of scientists from large pharma companies, top biotechs, and academic institutions use Tamarind to design protein drugs, improve industrial enzymes, and create cutting edge molecules that weren't feasible until now. New AI models are quickly eclipsing physics-based tools in computational drug discovery. Scientists often struggle to fine-tune, deploy, and scale these models, leaving breakthroughs on the table. Tamarind provides a simple interface to the vast array of tools being released daily. 💻ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring three exceptional Founding Software Engineers to help us scale the computational biology platform that powers our drug discovery pipeline. In this role, you'll collaborate closely with the founders to design, build, and scale our infrastructure, APIs, and web interface. You'll own major pieces of our stack end-to-end - from architecture to deployment - and ship features that directly impact scientists and customers. You'll be responsible for maintaining and expanding the core systems that underpin our computational biology tooling, ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance as we grow. This is a deeply collaborative and customer-facing role. You'll work directly with users to understand their needs, translate feedback into product improvements, and deliver elegant solutions that accelerate their research. Techstack: - Python, React, AWS (EC2, S3, DynamoDB), Docker, CUDA, Conda, TensorFlow/PyTorch; notebooks; bash/Slurm; APIs & web apps. Week in the Life: - Partner with founders on product decisions, scope experiments, and ship quickly - Build/operate services (infra
