## About the role

We are hiring an engineer to architect and ship the first generation of Pathos AI and data infrastructure. Your work will power our core products and run the agents that support BD, clinical development, computational biology, and lab teams. This is an early role with broad technical scope and full ownership.

## What they're looking for

- Roughly 8 or more years of professional software, ML, or product engineering experience building systems that real users depend on. We read this as a signal of demonstrated scope, not a hard gate
- Fluent in Python and TypeScript in production, and comfortable building full stack applications
- Experience with production grade APIs, eventing, and data engineering, ideally cloud native on GCP, BigQuery, or similar
- You own services end to end: architecture, implementation, testing, and observability
