Senior Front End Developer, London

This is an extraordinary opportunity to join a new Alphabet company that will reimagine drug discovery through a computational- and AI-first approach.

We are assembling a world-class, multi-disciplinary team who want to drive forward groundbreaking innovations. As one of the first members of this pioneering organisation, you will play a meaningful role in building this team, embodying an inspiring, collaborative and entrepreneurial culture. 

This early-stage venture is on a mission to accelerate the speed, increase the efficacy and lower the cost of drug discovery. You’ll be working at the cutting edge of the new era of ‘digital biology’ and advancing a new type of biotech that will deliver transformative social impact for the benefit of millions of people. 

Your impact 

As a Senior, Staff or Principal UI/UX Engineer, you will lead the research, design & engineering development of breakthrough biochemical visualisations. Your work will impact top scientists' ability to make discoveries in drug design and development.  Your thoughtful user research and design alongside novel visual representations and engineering work will unlock the creative potential of large biochemical data as well as previously undiscovered user pathways and flows.

You will have the opportunity to work with some of the brightest minds in AI, engineering, and biochemistry while creating your unique mark on common problems facing the drug discovery industry.

What you will do 

  • Create front-end libraries and other components which form expressive and precise life science visualisations 

  • Design beautiful and well-architected user interfaces and flows

  • Creatively visualise complex and expansive biochemical data 

  • Collaborate closely with engineers, scientists, and other partners to deliver on business objectives

  • Integrate novel engineering and design work into our drug discovery platform

  • Make critical frontend design decisions taking into account user requirements and scale (e.g. rendering of 3D libraries)

  • Maintain an awareness of the current state-of-the art, identifying promising new visualisation strategies or technologies that could benefit drug discovery

  • Develop and implement these methodologies through internal / external collaboration

 

Skills and qualifications 

Essential:

  • Expert in data visualisation and user centric design as this will be a particular focus of the role

  • Experience building frontend technology and designing user interfaces and flows for scientists and researchers in the fields of chemistry and/or biology

  • Expert in TypeScript, D3.js, React or equivalent core front-end technologies and frameworks

  • At least three years industry work in experience in front end / UX / UI engineering, development and design

  • Experience working both independently and as a part of a team environment

Nice to have:

  • Either a degree in Computer Science, Graphic Design, Physics, Chemistry, or equivalent experience in science, engineering, and design

  • Experience modelling biochemical systems and deriving novel approaches e.g. as a Data Visualisation Developer or Data Visualisation Designer

  • Experience developing open-source and commercial software for drug-discovery

  • Familiarity with  modern machine learning and AI methods

  • Experience working with scientists and data engineers on visual features

Behaviours and attributes 

  • Grounded and original thinker: Combines the best from industry with new ideas and creative approaches, taking well-informed risks to advance progress

  • Motivated by purpose and impact: Self-directed, chooses the most effective path to maximise impact in pursuit of higher level purpose, operates at pace with a clear bias for action

  • Experimental: Comfortable with ambiguity, embraces new ideas, responds quickly and adapts to maximise opportunities

  • Collaborative and inclusive: Willing to go the extra mile, works beyond role remit and builds strong partnerships with a variety of collaborators

  • Curious mindset: Strong interest in self-development, learns from setbacks as well as successes

 

Hybrid working: It’s hugely important for us to be able to share knowledge and establish relationships with each other, and we find it easier to do this if we spend time together in person. This is why we’ve decided to follow a hybrid model, and would require you to be able to come into the office 3 days a week (currently Tue, Wed, and one other day depending on which team you’re in).  As an equal opportunities employer we are committed to building an equal and inclusive team. If you have additional needs that would prevent you from following this hybrid approach, we’d be happy to talk through these if you’re selected for an initial screening call.
