Insitro, South San Francisco, CA
About the job
The opportunity
insitro is a physical AI company dedicated to unlocking causal human biology and accelerating the delivery of better medicines to patients. Our unique Virtual Human™ platform identifies novel, high-impact genetic intervention points, which our TherML™ platform translates into therapeutics—whether small molecules, biologics, or oligos. With multiple programs in metabolic disease and neuroscience advancing toward the clinic, and our first IND submission slated for the second half of this year, we are at a pivotal inflection point.
As a Senior/ Staff Software Engineer on our Imaging Software team, you will define and expand our data and ML infrastructure across the full data lifecycle — from data generation, high-throughput ML pipelines, to analysis results. You'll build the platform features that make novel in vitro screening modalities and ML-derived phenotypes integral to our discovery workflows, partnering with lab scientists, ML scientists, and our automation teams to turn research prototypes into validated screening workflows that reliably process terabytes of biological data per day. This is a chance to set the technical direction for how imaging, automation, machine learning, and agentic analysis converge in drug discovery.
