[Job Description]
Arzeda is seeking a full-stack computational scientist & software engineer
equally at home with chemistry and biology to make significant
contributions to our computational metabolic pathway design stack,
Scylax. The candidates responsibilities will be:
* Developing algorithms to probe the entirety of biodesignable space for
novel biochemical synthesis strategies.
* Enhancing and improving the performance of Scylax.
* Connecting genomic and other biological data to computationally designed
pathways.
* Designing and implementing methods for storing and versioning large
metabolic datasets.
* Interfacing the Scylax toolchain with in-house biochemical databases.
[Job Requirements]
The successful candidate will hold an MS or PhD in biology, biochemistry,
chemistry, chemical engineering, or related field with at least 2+ years
of industry experience or postdoctoral study. Experience developing
software in Python, C++, or Java is required. Candidates should have
experience drawn from multiple aspects of:
* Designing novel metabolic pathways or tackling organic retrosynthesis
problems.
* Developing software with a cheminformatics package such as RDKit, CDK,
OpenEye, or the ChemAxon toolset.
* Working with bioinformatics tools such as BLAST, HMMER, multiple
alignment and other search methods to process and analyze genomic data.
* Working with metabolic models, such as kinetic modeling, flux balance
analysis or other COBRA methodologies, and whole genome modeling.
* Using or developing with a relational database such as MySQL or
PostgreSQL.
* Developing algorithms for operations over graphs, such as traversal and
pathfinding.
* Computational chemistry or studying small molecules in-silico (e.g.
quantum chemistry, virtual screening, lead identification, 3D-QSAR).
The successful candidate must be willing to work in a small, driven
environment, be able to work autonomously and possess strong interpersonal
skills. Ability and willingness to work in a team is absolutely necessary.
Finally, Arzeda seeks and greatly values a strong desire to learn,
