Senior Software Engineer, Life Sciences Team

Who we are

At Domino, we build software that helps the largest, AI-driven organizations build and operate advanced data science and AI solutions at scale. Our platform integrates a streamlined model development environment, MLOps capabilities, and novel features for collaboration, reuse, and reproducibility — all of which make data science teams more productive, reduce time to value, and ensure compliance. Our customers — like Johnson & Johnson, GSK, Bristol Myers, UBS, FINRA and the US Navy — are using our software to solve some of the most important challenges in the world, such as developing new medicines, securing our financial markets, or protecting our country. Backed by Sequoia Capital, Coatue Management, NVIDIA, Snowflake and other leading investors, we have been in business for a decade but are still a small team operating with the spirit of a startup. Especially in the world of AI today, we believe that the future is still being invented — and we want to be the ones building it. For more information, visit www.domino.ai

What we are building

The Life Sciences Team is revolutionizing the discovery and delivery of transformative therapies by empowering researchers, operators, and regulators with innovative tools and solutions. Our mission is to:

• Leverage industry-leading assets—data, metadata, and code—to deliver AI-driven efficiencies across the development lifecycle
• Integrate seamlessly with niche tools and frameworks while embedding role-based insights into user workflows
• Set the Gold Standard for collaboration among Sponsors, Academic Institutions, and Regulatory Bodies, ensuring the highest standards of reproducibility, auditability, and knowledge sharing

By fostering collaboration and enabling faster, safer therapy development, we’re setting a new benchmark for excellence in Life Sciences.
