Software Engineer - Internship

This is a ~12-week internship for summer 2027, onsite in Emeryville, CA, with a flexible start date.

We’re working at every level of our platform to bring more frontier drugs to patients faster. We’re building toward a vision where scientists and agents make better decisions and reach useful answers sooner. You’ll work with engineers and scientists to build agentic systems that connect knowledge, computational tools, instruments, and laboratory work. Depending on the project, you might integrate tools into an agent workflow, improve a data pipeline, or build interfaces and visualizations for our scientists.

You’re an engineer who wants to develop software that transforms the way our teams work with our discovery platform. You’re comfortable with agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) and keep up with the newest technologies in this space. While prior expertise in biology or chemistry is a plus, strong software engineering skills and eagerness to learn matter more. As one of Octant’s software engineering interns, you’ll make an immediate and lasting impact while being mentored by experienced scientists and engineers.
