It is a discovery engine that transforms messy biological data into insights in minutes. Scientists ask questions in natural language, and Mithrl responds with real analysis, novel targets, hypotheses, and patent-ready reports.\nOur traction speaks for itself:\n12X year-over-year revenue growth\n\nTrusted by leading biotechs and big pharma across three continents\n\nDriving real breakthroughs from target discovery to patient outcomes.\n\nABOUT THE ROLE\nWe are hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to partner directly with our customers and help them deploy, integrate, and operationalize the Mithrl platform inside their private cloud environments. FDEs sit at the intersection of engineering, customer success, and solutions architecture. You will work hands-on with customer IT, security, data, and R&D teams to set up secure cloud environments, configure integrations, troubleshoot technical challenges, and ensure Mithrl becomes a seamless part of their discovery workflow.\nThis role requires strong software engineering fundamentals, deep comfort with cloud infrastructure, and excellent problem solving skills. You will work very closely with customer teams to design deployment architectures, automate provisioning steps, validate platform functionality in their environments, and ensure that their scientific teams can begin using Mithrl without friction.\nIf you enjoy solving hard and novel problems in real customer environments, working across cloud infrastructure and product engineering, and being part of the customer’s journey from day one, this role is an ideal match.\nWHAT YOU WILL DO\nDeploy Mithrl into customer private clouds including AWS, Azure, or GCP\n\nWork directly with customer IT and security teams to configure networking, IAM, private subnets, secure VPCs, and data access patterns\n\nBuild integrations between customer systems and Mithrl APIs for data ingestion or workflow automation\n\nValidate deployed environments through functional, performance, and scientific smoke tests\n\nTroubleshoot infrastructure, deployment, and connectivity issues in real customer environments\n\nImplement automation and internal tools that make deployments faster, more reliable, and more repeatable\n\nServe as a technical advisor to customers during onboarding and through early product adoption\n\nDocument deployment guidelines, architecture templates, and integration playbooks\n\nCollaborate with Mithrl platform engineering, DevOps, and ML teams to resolve issues and drive improvements\n\nEnsure that deployments meet customer security standards and internal best practices\n\nWHAT YOU BRING\nRequired Qualifications\nStrong experience with cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP\n\nExperience configuring VPCs, IAM, networking, private endpoints, and secure infrastructure setups\n\nSoftware engineering fundamentals and proficiency in Python or a similar language\n\nExperience with container technologies and orchestrators such as Docker, ECS, EKS, or Kubernetes\n\nAbility to diagnose and resolve issues involving networking, storage, compute, and configuration\n\nExperience working directly with external stakeholders in highly technical environments\n\nExcellent problem solving skills and the ability to adapt quickly in complex customer deployments\n\nStrong communication skills and ability to build trust with customer teams\n\nNice to Have\nExperience integrating ML or data heavy platforms into enterprise environments\n\nExperience with Terraform or CloudFormation\n\nExperience with secure data environments, regulated R&D teams, or biotech customers\n\nFamiliarity with scientific computing or R&D workflow tools\n\nExperience writing internal tools, automation scripts, or lightweight backend services\n\nWHAT YOU WILL LOVE AT MITHRL\nHigh ownership and impact: You will work directly with leading pharma and biotech organizations on real deployments. You will solve complex problems across cloud, networking, security, and systems engineering. You will have enormous ownership over how Mithrl operates in customer environments\n\nTeam: Join a tight-knit, talent-dense team of engineers, scientists, and builders\n\nCulture: We value consistency, clarity, and hard work. We solve hard problems through focused daily execution\n\nSpeed: We ship fast (2x/week) and improve continuously based on real user feedback\n\nLocation: Beautiful SF office with a high-energy, in-person culture\n\nBenefits: Comprehensive PPO health coverage through Anthem (medical, dental, and vision) + 401(k) with top-tier plans\n\nWe encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5393,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Drug Discovery","AI for Science"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-13T02:14:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.331,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":312,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mithrl-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mithrl-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T09:06:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6571,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":680209},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=680209"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmithrl-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmithrl-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmithrl-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mithrl-forward-deployed-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmithrl-forward-deployed-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":848630}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"mithrl.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":848630},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
