Job Description
Dewpoint Therapeutics translates condensate biology into much-needed medicines. Biomolecular condensates are transforming our understanding of biology, and our highly collaborative team is at the forefront of efforts to harness this shift for drug discovery. Together, we are leveraging this transformation in understanding of cellular biology to discover and advance breakthrough therapies for the toughest diseases.
We are searching for a Lead Engineer to drive the ongoing design, implementation, and management of our tech infrastructure, data flows, and software development. The core focus of this role is on shaping the next generation of our tech ecosystem: designing the overall architecture, refining the roadmap according to strategic priorities, and collaborating with internal and external colleagues to deliver in an agile manner. Doing so successfully will require a combination of broad technical expertise, effective prioritization according to strategic outcomes, and the ability to guide cross-functional delivery teams. By continuing to develop the infrastructure, data layer, and software needed by our wet-lab and data scientists, you will be enabling and accelerating them to transform lives by discovering revolutionary new therapies.
In this position you'll be part of a purpose-driven and supportive startup team culture, engaged in continuous learning, and part of an exceptional international team. The role is within our Data Science and Engineering group, reports to the Head of Data Science and Engineering, and can be based either in Boston's Seaport district or in London. Dewpoint offers competitive salaries and great benefits.
In this role, the key responsibilities will be:
