Product Engineer

Valthos Inc.

Valthos is an applied biological intelligence company. We build and deploy software and biological AI systems to safeguard humanity.

The same AI architectures that enable self-driving cars, land rockets with precision, and deliver expert-level reasoning are beginning to be deployed in biological design. To stay ahead, we must advance our arsenal of tools to capture and design against real-time sensitivities in nature's evolving mutational landscape.

We are a group of mission-driven software engineers from Palantir and applied biological ML engineers from MIT's Broad Institute and DeepMind making the latest advances in computational biology accessible in the real-world for federal and commercial use.

We are seeking a full-stack product engineer to join our team and lead the design and development of a new platform for biodefense, allowing Valthos to bring frontier methods to end users. In this role, you will design and develop the user-facing layer of our operating system for biodefense, building intuitive, powerful interfaces that surface anomalies and derive insights from biological data. This role requires a product-minded engineer who can translate complex workflows into elegant user experiences while being able to architect the full-stack systems that power them.

Qualifications (required)

• Strong understanding of UX principles, design systems, and creating intuitive user experiences for technical products

• Experience with data visualization libraries and techniques for presenting complex information clearly

• Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end from design through deployment

• Ability to iterate quickly in fast feedback loops, and spin up prototypes to test hypotheses

Qualifications (preferred)

• Experience working with React, Typescript, Tailwind, and Next.js, or similar languages and frameworks

• Experience visualizing technically complex topics or data (e.g. software for biology, hardware, large-scale unstructured data, etc.)

• Contributions to open-source projects or portfolio of personal fullstack projects, ideally with users

If there is a fit, we will schedule behavioral and technical interviews. The final step is an onsite in our office, where you will work on a small project, discuss ideas, and work with the wider team.
