About Iso

Isomorphic Labs (IsoLabs) was launched in 2021 to advance human health by building on and beyond the Nobel-winning AlphaFold system. Since then, our interdisciplinary team of drug discovery experts and machine learning specialists has built powerful new predictive and generative AI models that accelerate scientific discovery at digital speed.

Our name comes from the belief that there is an underlying symmetry between biology and information science. By harnessing AIs powerful capabilities, we can use it to model complex biological phenomena to help design novel molecules, anticipate how drugs will perform and develop innovative medicines to treat and cure some of the worlds most devastating diseases.

We have built a world-leading drug design engine comprising AI models that are capable of working across multiple therapeutic areas and drug modalities. We are continually innovating on model architecture and developing cutting-edge capabilities to advance rational drug design.

Every day, and with each new breakthrough, were getting closer to the promise of digital biology, and achieving our ambitious mission to one day solve all disease with the help of AI.

• Experience building backend systems for web applications, using technologies such as Django, SQLalchemy, Pydantic, PostgreSQL
• Experience designing, implementing and maintaining relational data models with Python-based interfaces
• Experience developing frontend applications in a scientific context
• Experience building, optimizing and productionizing large scale deep learning models
• Hands-on experience with cloud engineering in a compute-heavy environment, preferably on GCP
• Hands-on experience optimizing the use of fleets of hardware accelerators
• Experience with low level hardware specific optimization for deep learning
• Experience with life sciences data, including bioinformatics, computational chemistry, and biomedical research data

Culture and values

We are guided by our shared values. It's not about finding people who think and act in the same way. These values help to guide our work and will continue to strengthen it.

Thoughtful
Thoughtful at Iso is about curiosity, creativity and care. It is about good people doing good, rigorous and future-making science every single day.

Brave
Brave at Iso is about fearlessness, but its also about initiative and integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.

Determined
Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. Its a confidence in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility needed to deliver on it. Because disease wont wait, so neither should we.

Together
Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships. Its knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering that what were doing will have a real impact on real people everywhere.

Creating an extraordinary company

We believe that to be successful we need a team with a range of skills and talents. We're building an environment where collaboration is fundamental, learning is shared and every employee feels supported and able to thrive. We value unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, and perspectives, and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.

We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable law. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Its hugely important for us to share knowledge and build strong relationships with each other, and we find it easier to do this if we spend time together in person. This is why we follow a hybrid model, and would require you to be able to come into the office 3 days a week (currently Tuesday, Wednesday, and one other day depending on which team youre in). If you have additional needs that would prevent you from following this hybrid approach,]]> <
