Valthos Inc.

Valthos is an applied biological intelligence company. We build and deploy software and biological AI systems to safeguard humanity.

The same AI architectures that enable self-driving cars, land rockets with precision, and deliver expert-level reasoning are beginning to be deployed in biological design. To stay ahead, we must advance our arsenal of tools to capture and design against real-time sensitivities in nature’s evolving mutational landscape.

We are a group of mission-driven software engineers from Palantir and applied biological ML engineers from MIT’s Broad Institute and DeepMind making the latest advances in computational biology accessible in the real-world for federal and commercial use.

We are seeking software engineers to design and implement a platform that will allow Valthos to bring frontier methods to the end users, scientific and technical. Your day-to-day experience will range from implementing complex distributed systems, managing container-based scalable infrastructure, building REST APIs, integrating open source solutions, understanding the needs of our users and adapting our software to suit. You'll collaborate closely with technical and non-technical counterparts to understand our developers' and customers' problems and build software and infrastructure to tackle them.
