Job Description

Bexorg is transforming drug discovery by restoring molecular activity in postmortem human brains. Our groundbreaking BrainEx platform enables direct experimentation on functionally preserved human brain tissue, generating massive, high-fidelity molecular datasets that power AI-driven drug discovery for CNS diseases. We are seeking a Data Engineer to help harness this unprecedented data. In this onsite, mid-level role, you will design and optimize the pipelines and cloud infrastructure that turn terabytes of raw experimental data into actionable insights, driving our mission to revolutionize treatments for central nervous system disorders.

The Job:

• Data Ingestion & Pipeline Management: Manage and optimize massive data ingestion pipelines from cutting-edge experimental devices, ensuring reliable, real-time capture of complex molecular data.

• Cloud Data Architecture:
  Organize and structure large datasets in Google Cloud Platform, using tools like BigQuery and cloud storage to build a scalable data warehouse for fast querying and analysis of brain data.

• Large-Scale Data Processing:
  Design and implement robust ETL/ELT processes to handle PB scale data, emphasizing speed, scalability, and data integrity at each step of the process.

• Internal Data Services: Work closely with our software and analytics teams to expose processed data and insights to internal web applications. Build appropriate APIs or data access layers so that scientists and engineers can seamlessly visualize and interact with the data through our web platform.
• Internal Experiment Services: Work with our life science teams to ensure data entry protocols for seamless metadata integration and association with experimental data
• Infrastructure Innovation: Recommend and implement cloud infrastructure improvements (such as streaming technologies, distributed processing frameworks, and automation tools) that will future-proof our data pipeline. You will continually assess new technologies and best practices to increase throughput, reduce latency, and support our rapid growth in data volume.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Experience with Google Cloud:
  Hands-on experience with Google Cloud services (especially BigQuery and related data tools) for managing and analyzing large datasets. You’ve designed or maintained data systems in a cloud environment and understand how to leverage GCP for big data workloads.

• Data Engineering Background: 3+ years of experience in data engineering or a similar role. Proven ability to build and maintain data pipelines dealing with petabyte-scale data. Proficiency in programming (e.g., Python, Java, or Scala) and SQL for developing data processing jobs and queries.

• Scalability & Performance Mindset: Familiarity with distributed systems or big data frameworks and a track record of optimizing data workflows for speed and scalability. You can architect solutions that handle exponential data growth without sacrificing performance.

• Biology Domain Insight: Exposure to biology or experience working with scientific data (e.g. genomics, bioinformatics, neuroscience) is a strong
  plus. While deep domain expertise isn’t required, you should be excited to learn about our experimental data and comfortable discussing requirements with biologists.

• Problem-Solving & Collaboration: Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a proactive attitude in tackling technical challenges. Ability to work closely with cross-functional teams (scientists, software engineers, data scientists) and communicate complex data systems in clear, approachable terms.

• Passion for the Mission: A strong desire to apply your skills to transform drug discovery. You are inspired by Bexorg’s mission and eager to build the data backbone of a platform that could unlock new therapies for CNS diseases.
