## About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Life Sciences team, you'll build biology software that our own scientists and the wider research community can depend on, and you'll be one of the main people representing that work to computational biologists outside Anthropic. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Have built, released, and maintained biology software that researchers outside your own group use, with evidence of adoption you can point to (for example public repositories, package downloads, citations, or use in other groups' pipelines)
- Have deep working expertise in genomics or structural biology, including the data types, file formats, standard tools, and common failure modes of at least one of these fields
- Are proficient in Python and comfortable working with large datasets in Linux and cloud or cluster computing environments
- Practice rigorous testing and release engineering: unit and integration tests, continuous integration, validation against reference data, packaging, and versioning
- Use AI coding tools as a central part of how you build software, and can show how you verify the correctness and performance of code you did not write by hand
- Have led a technical project with multiple contributors, setting direction and reviewing others' work while continuing to write code yourself
