Recursion Pharmaceuticals | Salt Lake City, Utah | Onsite, Full-Time | www.recursionpharma.com/careers

Meet us at Kafka Summit SF 2019 from Sept 30 - Oct 1. Our VP of Engineering Ben Mabey and Director of Data Engineering Scott Nielsen will be presenting on how we use Kafka Streams at Recursion. If you’d like to meet them feel free to ping them directly!

We have raised over $200M to apply machine learning to one of the most unique datasets in existence - over 12 billion images of cells under a huge number of biological and chemical perturbations, generated in our own labs - in order to find treatments for hundreds of diseases. Our long term mission is to decode biology to radically improve lives - we want to understand biology so well that we can fix most things that go wrong in our bodies. Among other awesome folks, Yoshua Bengio is one of our advisors, and helps our ML team come up with novel ways of tackling these problems. We’re looking for:

* Sr Data Scientists (SLC, UT): Looking for experienced Data Scientists both for our Innovation and Assay Development as well as Image Analysis and Quality teams. You’ll work with our data, biology , high throughput screening (HTS), and engineering teams to identify and answer questions in high-dimensional data.

* Sr Full Stack Software Developer (SLC, UT): Looking for experienced Full Stack Software Developers for our Accelerated Pharma and Experiment Design/Lifecycle teams. You’ll work closely with Biologists, Automation Scientists, and Data Scientists to build the infrastructure and applications needed to decode human biology and reinvent drug discovery.

* Software Engineering Manager (SLC, UT): Looking for an experienced Software Engineering Manager to join our team. You’ll lead and guide two of the most important aspects of our organization - our people and the definition/execution of our technical strategy.

* Machine Learning Scientist (Anywhere): Looking for a highly experienced senior/principal-level Machine Learning Scientist who wants a challenging problem, lots of rich data, and knowledge that their breakthroughs will seriously help people. No bio background needed.

Additional roles we are hiring for: * Biologist, Computational Chemists, Automation Engineer, and Drug Discovery experts.

For anyone applying to the ML Engineer role. I applied and interviewed for the ML Engineer position at Recursion a few months ago. The recruiter was very responsive and professional. Interacting with the recruiter was the only positive experience throughout the interview process. I interviewed with the Vice President of Engineering and Data Science. One was somewhat interested in my background/projects, the other became frustrated as the interview progressed and ended the call after about 15 minutes. It was most likely because my familiarity with TensorFlow Extended (TFX) was basic. I was very disappointed because I really wanted to work at Recursion. I spent an enormous amount of time studying for this interview. In the end, it took me a few days to fully learn TFX, but Recursion is still looking for a ML Engineer two months later.

Some advice for anyone applying to the ML Engineer position. The position title is misleading. Recursion is looking for a _Senior_ ML Engineer. I met all the listed requirements and have three years of experience working with ML. That was not enough. Also, make sure to mention TensorFlow Extended (TFX). I'm pretty sure if you spend a day or two studying TFX, you're considered a _Senior_ and can land the ML Engineer job.

Best of luck.
