Jäntra Biosystems | Multiple Roles | San Francisco or Remote | Full-time | Salary + Equity

Jäntra Biosystems is revolutionizing protein structure prediction. We’re building AI models at the intersection of biology and computation. Join us as we unlock life’s molecular machinery.

Open Roles:

- AI Systems Engineer (C++ / CUDA / HPC)

- Structural Biologist / Bioinformatics Scientist (Cryo-EM / AlphaFold / Data Analysis)

What we’re looking for:

Engineers & scientists passionate about AI and biology. C++/CUDA expertise (AI Systems Engineer) or structural biology experience (Bioinformatics Scientist). Familiarity with HPC, GPU clusters, or structural prediction tools (AlphaFold, cryo-EM, etc.).

Why Jäntra: Competitive salary + equity San Francisco or remote Small, fast-moving team Work that matters: advance our understanding of life’s building blocks

Exactly, him & his firm have been leading the bandwagon on crypto investments, social/mobile, ads, "scooters", and all the other sectors which are all hype & no build.

I was wrong about the season flu being less deadly. However if we look past lay press like CNBC or The Atlantic because this is cutting edge/developing research, and into the academic press, we see that the mortality rate is significantly lower than other outbreaks like SARS & MERS (9%,35%) https://academic.oup.com/view-large/figure/199362642/dyaa033... https://doi.org/10.1093/ije/dyaa033

So it seems prudent to reiterate that the only causes for social disruption & need to prep would be to have unjustified panic and run at stores like the behavior seen in Italy.

Lucid Align | SF or Remote | C# Xamarin | Full-Time or Part-Time | https://lucidalign.com

Lucid is a scientific desktop tool for genomic sequencing data. It's part of a larger toolset used for sequence alignment, variant calling, and annotation. Pretty much inspired by Sublime Text, for sequence alignment maps (sam files).

Looking for someone to fix some bugs and refactor where necessary. If you have fun working on this, the larger toolset is in C++ and uses Caffe2, so you can try your hand at that once this work is completed.

If you are nearby and want to meet up, or faraway and want to chat just hop into the discord channel.

Make Scientific Software Great Again!

Traditional variant calling, that is bayesian methods, have gotten very good at detecting point mutations, that is single letters. But have hit a wall when it comes to more complex structural mutations, we wanted to build this for example to focus on driver/passenger mutations in tumor/normal samples. (check out the "Preface" post for our LSTM version, and the logic behind this)

San Francisco | Full-time | C++/C#/Xamarin

Genomics it's good stuff. We made some tools that are better than what academics/gov/big companies make.

Desktop applications, not web or "cloud"-- b/c you make video games and movies with desktop applications, so maybe when lives depend on it skip the web browser.

Anyways you'll get paid market-rate and get to work with fun technologies.
