Senior Bioinformatician

DeepLife is an early stage startup founded in 2019 by Jonathan Baptista and Jean-Baptiste Morlot, backed by international investors, developing a digital twin of human cells.

While we are able to design and build incredibly complex mechanical engines, engineering biological systems, such as cells, remains a challenge. However, recent technological improvements, notably in biochemistry, recently enabled the construction of databases with millions of quantitative cell activity measures, covering multiple diseases.

The DeepLife team develops a SaaS platform combining state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms on single cell multi-omics data, public and private cell atlases, and a proprietary deep learning-based digital twin. Our goal is to supplement in vitro testing with in silico simulations and rapidly discover molecular triggers to efficiently engineer cell behavior.

We are working closely with biotech and pharmaceutical companies to accelerate their target identification processes. We are also collaborating actively with the academic community by publishing papers and providing open access to our platform’s features and data.

As Senior Bioinformatician, you will:

• Design sequencing pipeline on multiple omics (bulk + single cell)
• Be on charge of the omics acquisition strategy
• Work on multiple drug discovery project with our partners and customers
• Participate to design biological experiments to answer specific questions
• Publish and participate to academic conferences

Minimum:

• 3 years in bioinformatics
• Experience in developing bulk and single cell sequencing pipelines on multiple omics
• Expertise in biochemistry
• Strong experience in R, Python and Bash
• Skills in software engineering:  Producing, testing, reviewing and debugging code

Nice to have:

• PhD or post-doc in bioinformatics
• Skills in writing academic articles
• Skills in image analysis
• Be a tech enthusiast
