Software Engineering Intern (Frontend) (May-Dec 2023)

Deepgenomics in Toronto, Ontario

About Us
Deep Genomics is a startup company that aims to revolutionize drug development by leveraging expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) to decode RNA biology. Our proprietary platform, the AI Workbench, enables us to decode the enormous complexity of RNA biology to find novel targets, mechanisms, and molecules that are not accessible through traditional methods. We use this advanced technology to develop steric-blocking oligonucleotides (SBOs) that achieve expression increase for the treatment of genetic disease. Founded in 2015, our multidisciplinary team includes expertise in a diverse range of disciplines including those found in a traditional drug company, as well as machine learning, laboratory automation, and software engineering.  Deep Genomics is based in Toronto, Ontario with additional locations in  Cambridge, Massachusetts and Montreal, Quebec.

Where You Fit In
We’re looking for a highly motivated software engineer intern to be part of our multidisciplinary team that is revolutionizing drug development through AI. Deep Genomics is poised to become the foremost AI-powered genetic medicine company by using data-driven approaches at every step of the drug design process.

You’d work alongside experienced software engineers and scientists to build user friendly and intuitive tools for our experimental and computational scientists. These tools power the internal platform used to ingest and analyze various lab experiments and are central to the drug development process.
