Founding Engineer

About the job

Valius overview

At Valius, we believe that the future of cancer care will be defined by “maximalist” diagnostics: deep, comprehensive assessments of DNA, RNA, and protein designed to give patients and their care teams the best possible understanding of how their tumor works and what its vulnerabilities are.

We’re building the diagnostics and bioinformatics company to power this future, starting by applying this approach to patients with challenging cancers. In our first year, we worked with over 75 of these patients and, in many cases, identified plausible therapeutic targets which had not been discovered previously. This coming year, we’re on track to scale our patient volume significantly, all while bringing new diagnostic modalities (e.g., single-cell transcriptomics) and analytical approaches into clinical care for the very first time.

We’ve just raised a $13.5M seed round, led by 8VC and Basis Set Ventures, and are looking for people passionate about changing cancer care to join our growing team.

Founding engineer role

We’re hiring a Founding Engineer to build the technical foundation of Valius. You’ll work directly with the founders and our science team to define and build the infrastructure and products that bring our molecular insights to life. The role spans the full stack. On the front end, you’ll build AI-powered interfaces that help patients, care teams, and Valius scientists explore complex molecular data. On the back end, you’ll own the architecture and tooling that power our internal and external applications, and you’ll partner with our computational biologists to build and manage the data pipelines that process patient molecular data.
