Senior Software Backend Engineer, Platform Computing

Iambic is a clinical-stage life-science and technology company developing novel medicines using its AI-driven discovery and development platform. The Senior Software Backend Engineer will integrate and operate the compute layer that powers data processing and model inference across Iambic’s drug discovery platform, collaborating with ML engineers to ensure production workloads are reliable and scalable.

Responsibilities:

• Integrate and maintain the compute layer supporting data processing and model inference workflows in production
• Ensure reliable and performant execution of workloads through monitoring, troubleshooting, and failure resolution
• Operate and extend workflow orchestration systems (e.g., Prefect, Coiled, Modal or similar frameworks)
• Support deployment and execution of ML model outputs in production environments
• Enable scientific workflows by integrating external data sources and supporting analysis and inference workloads within and outside of Insight (e.g., large-scale assay refits)
• Collaborate with ML engineers and cross-functional teams to translate model capabilities into production-ready systems
• Integrate new compute capabilities into the platform as they are developed, ensuring scalability and flexibility
• Establish and maintain best practices for reliability, observability, and operational support
