### **About Artos**
At Artos, we build tools that help biopharma companies create and manage their R&D documentation in a fraction of the time. If you’re looking to join a team whose mission is to fundamentally change the way that drug development gets done, we’d love to talk to you.
We’re growing _very_ fast right now, and we at Artos are looking for a hyper-talented, startup-minded engineer who can help us accelerate the development of a product that supports companies from innovative biotech startups to some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world in their mission to deliver life-saving treatments to patients faster than ever before.
As a core member of Artos’s engineering team, you will play a critical role in developing, scaling, and expanding the Artos platform to help serve regulatory needs for pharma and life science companies around the globe.
### **Qualifications**
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent relevant work experience may be considered in place of a degree.
* 3+ experience in software development, with a strong background in building AI/ML applications.
* Backend Software Development Experience, including:
* Experience building GenAI applications, with extensive, hands-on experience with complex prompt engineering, GenAI-driven data pipelines, evaluation/benchmarking frameworks, and RAG.
* Experience building APIs from the ground up using modern Python frameworks (FastAPI, Django, etc).
* Experience in deploying and scaling containerized applications in enterprise customer cloud environments.
* Experience building CI/CD pipelines for production backend applications using any tools (GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, CircleCI, etc)
* Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform or Pulumi is a plus
* Experience with the above via cloud services (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP), especially AWS, is a plus.
* Experience with secure coding practices, ideally from a regulated industry (e.g. fintech, life sciences)
* Experience with frontend development in React is a plus.
* Knowledge of regulatory requirements in the life sciences industry is a plus. Willingness to learn is a necessity.
### **Requirements**
* Ability to design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems in a production environment
* Proficiency in building APIs and services using modern Python frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Django)
* Ability to work with containerized applications and cloud infrastructure (e.g., Docker, AWS, Terraform)
* Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines and debugging systems in production
* Ability to rapidly learn and apply new techniques in LLM development, including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
* Ability to stay current with emerging best practices in generative AI and apply them pragmatically to product needs
* Ability to communicate complex technical issues and design decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
* Ability to collaborate effectively across teams, including product managers, medical writers, and customer success
* Ability to reason through ambiguous requirements, propose technical solutions, and execute quickly without extensive oversight
* Strong debugging skills across multiple system layers (application logic, model behavior, APIs, infrastructure)
### **Other Information**
* Very comfortable working in a fast-paced and intense startup environment
* Willing to work in-person in our office in Mission Bay 4-5 days/week
* Likes matcha KitKats, believes every LLM prompt is just Schrodinger’s cat waiting to be observed, and knows too many random facts about the Mongol postal system
