Foresite Capital

Foresite data science is a translational R&D team that derives insights from precision measurement and population-scale biology to address unmet clinical needs. Through a combination of external investment and company incubation, our goal is to create the preeminent portfolio of companies at the interface of data science and healthcare. Within data science, Foresite’s Platform Team develops the methods and infrastructure to solve key scientific and clinical problems. We combine deep biological knowledge with rigorous statistical genetics and modern engineering practices to develop and critically evaluate therapeutic and interventional hypotheses. We are particularly focused on the combination of novel statistical and machine learning methods to produce reliable insights about causal factors in disease at an unprecedented scale. This work supports critical investment decisions and supplies a core around which new ideas are de-risked and incubated. We are looking for software engineers with experience building large-scale data systems, familiarity with biological data, and an eagerness to learn. We offer a flexible work environment, a diverse set of projects, and a best-in-class peer group to learn from. This is a great opportunity to tackle a unique set of problems while shaping the future of healthcare.
