ProteinQure

At ProteinQure, we are building a computational platform for the design of protein therapeutics. Our mission is to help to create a world where drugs are engineered, not just discovered. We work on treatments for cancer, diabetes, among others, and partner with industry leaders in drug discovery to generate novel therapeutics outside of the conventional chemical space. Our technology combines computational biophysical models with statistical and machine learning approaches to enable us to search across vast spaces of protein therapeutics. We build and deploy these computational modules using a scalable cloud computing infrastructure and complement their predictions with results from wet lab experiments. We utilize advanced computing architectures based on high-performance GPUs, TPUs and investigate novel methodologies in biophysical modelling. We are a seed-stage company and have just recently raised our $4M USD seed round by some of the top Silicon Valley and Canadian investors. We are rapidly expanding our 9-person multidisciplinary team and hiring across a range of engineering roles: Backend, Infrastructure / DevOps, ML scientists, statisticians and computational biologists. This an opportunity to be an early technical employee at a deep tech company and grow into leadership roles as we scale. Biology background is not needed for the engineering roles.
