About The Position

Recursion is a leading, clinical-stage TechBio company decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery. Central to its mission is the Recursion Operating System (OS), a platform built across diverse technologies that continuously expands one of the world’s largest proprietary biological, chemical and patient-centric datasets. Recursion leverages sophisticated machine-learning algorithms to distill from its dataset a collection of trillions of searchable relationships across biology and chemistry unconstrained by human bias. By commanding massive experimental scale—up to millions of wet lab experiments weekly—and massive computational scale—owning and operating one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world—Recursion is uniting technology, biology, chemistry and patient-centric data to advance the future of medicine. In this role, you will: Build, scale, and operate in a validated data platform. You will be a member of the platform team responsible for building, operating, and tuning a data platform with petabyte scale data, and maintaining a GxP-compliant data platform for clinical data. These platforms allow our users to discover and query across the breadth of our data at Recursion, which includes a chemistry library of billions of compounds, cellular microscopy images taken in millions of different experimental contexts, and millions of assay results, all supporting Recursion’s drug discovery. Engineer Data Integrity and Traceability: You will ensure data flows with integrity in the validated environment by building the automated audit trails and lineage required by 21 CFR Part 11 making our datasets in the clinical datalake queryable and relatable for regulatory questions. Additionally, you'll work with biologists, chemists, and data scientists to build relatability and query-ability into these datasets so they can be used in the future to answer the sorts of questions we haven't even thought of asking yet. Act as a mentor, coach, and sponsor. You will share your technical knowledge and experiences, delivering impact, learning, and growth across teams at Recursion.
