Principal Scientific Visualization / Front-end Engineer

The Position

The Analytics and Workflows group within the Center of Excellence (CoE) is dedicated to turning complex data into actionable insights that advance drug discovery and development. We leverage cutting-edge high-throughput technologies and foundational multimodal machine learning models to analyze large-scale biological data, enabling deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and the identification of novel therapeutic opportunities. In this role, you’ll work at the intersection of data science, biology, and engineering to build innovative analytical tools that bridge the gap between data generation and biological interpretation—helping unlock new avenues for scientific discovery and impact.

The Opportunity

Within this group, you’ll collaborate with a cross-functional team to design, develop, and deploy robust tools that empower scientists to explore, visualize, and interpret complex biological datasets and models—ranging from spatial transcriptomics and high-throughput chemical screens to real-world clinical data. While you won’t be expected to be an expert across the full technology stack, we value fluency across boundaries.

• Engaging directly with scientists—at the bench or the keyboard—to understand and clarify emerging (and sometimes ambiguous) analytical needs
• Identifying, evaluating, and applying emerging technologies to analyze and visualize biological and chemical data in support of drug discovery and development
• Designing and implementing modular, extensible platforms that allow biologists and data scientists to access, share, and interpret computational results, abstracting technical complexity while enabling scientific insight
• Creating intuitive, interactive visualizations that integrate diverse biological data types (e.g., spatial imaging, transcriptomic, clinical), helping scientists explore hypotheses and uncover insights
• Collaborating across distributed scientific, engineering, and design teams to support end-to-end development—from early exploration to production-ready applications
