Ordaos is seeking an experienced Backend Engineer to be a part of our ongoing mission to create bespoke mini-proteins to enable ground-breaking therapeutics. This Senior Backend Engineer will be a contractor working directly with other Ordaos backend engineers, AI Scientists, DevOps Engineers, and End Users to support novel experiments running on our AI Platform.
Why Ordaos is hiring for this role: Ordaos develops state-of-the-art machine learning models to create, modify and characterize proteins. These models are then integrated into a web application to be used experimentally by our end users (in-house biologists). New requirements from these end users and changes to the models require the infrastructure of the back-end to be extended and changed frequently. It will be the responsibility of this new back-end engineer to design and implement these changes.
Some of the day-to-day may include: Designing efficient data structures that will hold inputs, intermediate results, and outputs from our machine learning algorithmsImplementing changes and extensions to our system as required by ML models and end-user requestsInteracting and collaborating with stakeholders from different backgrounds to completely understand the requirements, and translate their needs into functional codeInterfacing to multiple databasesWorking with our AI Scientists to implement and productionalize ML-powered featuresCollaborating with other engineers on the team to ensure everyone can ship code quickly and the system is working reliablyRequirements BA or Masters in computer scienceExcellent python programmer as evidenced, for example, through the development of complex fast.api or celery-based web applicationsHave built and scaled applications that rely on cloud servicesKnowledge of common data structures and algorithmsCapable to design, implement and debug object-oriented python codeCapable to write maintainable python code for a large-scale code baseCapable to interface to SQL databases through SQLAlchemy and SQL directlyStrong knowledge of linuxFamiliarity with gitExperienced in using third party libraries and APIsFull-stack experience is not requiredExcitement for continually monitoring and improving the health of our code basePreferred: Experience with RedisExperience with CeleryExperience with Python Kubernetes APIHourly rate $30-$40 per hour, based on education and prior experience.
