Job Details Company Overview: Terray Therapeutics is a venture-backed biotechnology company led by pioneers and long-time leaders in artificial intelligence, synthetic chemistry, automation, and nanotechnology. We're generating chemical data purpose-built to propel drug discovery into the information age - and we're doing it on a larger scale and faster than has ever before been possible.
Our closed loop system generates precise chemical datasets at unrivaled scale that work seamlessly with AI to systematically map biochemical interactions between small molecules and causes of disease. Iterative cycles of virtual molecular design and experimentation power AI and machine learning models, which in turn guide the next cycle of design. With a chemistry engine that measures billions of interactions daily and becomes increasingly precise with every cycle, we can answer an unprecedented array of questions - deriving insights that enable us to predictably create drugs for patients in need.
Position Summary: Terray is currently seeking a motivated and creative associate data scientist. As an integral member of our Computational and Data Sciences (CDS) team, the candidate will be responsible for analyzing data from our wet-lab and computational discovery platforms and for developing algorithms and informatics tools. More specifically, the candidate will be a member of the Platform Data team within CDS, which handles the data for tArray workflows including library synthesis, image processing, chip decoding, and screening.
The core responsibilities of this position are:
- Work with wet-lab scientists to answer key questions using data from our wet-lab and computational discovery platforms
- Develop quality control metrics and tools for tracking relevant wet-lab criteria and processes
- Develop data visualizations for large and complex datasets
- Work with software engineers and other data scientists to incorporate these analyses and visualizations into software tools
Experience and Qualifications: Part of Terray's success is nurtured by a hands-on work environment where everyone is accountable, vested in a vision of excellence, and actively taking part in the success of the business.
