About the team We’re hiring an engineering manager to help expand our platform for consuming and making sense of private data. Pharmaceutical institutions have accumulated thousands of person-years of scientific expertise and wisdom – we utilise AI models to help scientists find novel connections and insights from this proprietary data. But that’s not as easy as just integrating an API! Getting accurate, scientifically relevant, trustworthy and meaningful results relies on deep integration into source systems, while respecting the vital regulatory and security requirements that underpin safe usage of these datasets.
