Lila Sciences, San Francisco, CA USA +1
Lila’s mission is to accelerate scientific discovery with AI, and that depends on trustworthy scientific data. As a Data Engineer, you’ll build ETL pipelines and data models for Lila’s scientific data platform, working at the intersection of data engineering, computational biology, chemistry, and materials science.
You’ll partner with AI researchers and experimentalists to turn raw lab instrument outputs into validated, analysis-ready datasets. The core challenge is data modeling: transforming messy, per-instrument measurements into clean, well-typed data that is efficient to query, reliable to use, and ready for downstream analysis.
You’ll also build domain-specific analysis functions and reusable data pipelines that help scientists and AI researchers move faster without re-deriving bespoke solutions.
Strong Python skills, including typed, tested, production-quality code.
$144,000—$240,000 USD
