5 of the top 10 pharma companies run discovery programs on Platforma today. MiXCR is the global standard for immune-repertoire analysis. Platforma.bio is the operating system we're building on top of it — turning bioinformatics into self-serve, interoperable "blocks" so biologists can move from raw sequencing data to therapeutic candidates without writing pipeline glue code. Our customers are pharma scientists running real discovery programs against real targets. We made a decision that's reshaping how we hire: we merged our domain-specific teams — desktop, bioinformatics, and data — into a single unit of universal builders.
The bioinformaticians on our team who leaned into engineering, and the engineers who leaned into biology, are now shipping at multiples of what they used to. This is a senior, full-stack role for engineers who refuse to stay on one side of the biology/software wall.
Biologic discovery pipelines — end-to-end workflows that take a customer from raw sequencing data to pre-IND therapeutic candidates. TypeScript and Vue 3 on the frontend, Rust at the core, Tengo (a niche Lua-like workflow DSL — yes, you'll learn it) for orchestration, and Python with Polars for tabular calc scripts.
~ The data layer — PFrames, Parquet, and DataFusion underneath. Lazy columnar data, axis-typed schemas, a render pipeline that deduplicates work across thousands of biological computations. We're reducing the thousands of bioinformatics file formats in the world to a single common denominator.
Strong TypeScript fundamentals. Python data tooling. pandas. Fix the SDK, don't work around it" instinct. Bonus: Vue 3 with Composition API, Rust experience, Electron, MiXCR familiarity, antibody developability/liability domain knowledge.
Pure frontend or pure backend with no crossover appetite.
~"I'll just rewrite the abstraction before I understand it."
~ You want to stay strictly in TypeScript-land or strictly in bioinformatics-land. Performance bonus tied to ARR — when we grow, you grow, in cash, this year, not "someday"
~ Bizkaia Special Impatriate Regime: ~15–20% effective tax rate for qualifying relocators. Your net income is meaningfully higher than London, Berlin, or Amsterdam at equivalent base.
~ Comprehensive visa, relocation, and soft-landing package: temporary housing, school search, paperwork done alongside you.
~ No HR screening, no take-home tests. World-class quality of life at a fraction of London or Berlin cost. We work on-site because our cross-domain context-sharing genuinely doesn't work over Zoom — the merged-team model depends on physical proximity.
