Sr. Biological Data Scientist

When was the last time you achieved the impossible? If that thought feels overwhelming, you might want to pause here, but if it sparks excitement...read on
 
In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible. 
 
Together we define white space, push boundaries and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma.

You will lead integrative, multi-omics analyses spanning structural biology, proteomics, and other data types to accelerate therapeutic discovery in rare and genetically defined diseases. Working independently in a dynamic, data-driven environment, you will identify analytical opportunities, design computational approaches, and develop solutions that connect insights across modalities. The ideal candidate combines broad scientific fluency with strong Python-based engineering skills and a proactive, self-directed work style.

• Design and execute computational analyses focused on structural biology and proteomics, while routinely extending to additional omics and data domains

• Develop and maintain robust Python codebases and packages that support reproducible and scalable analyses

• Apply statistical and computational methods, including selective use of AI/ML where appropriate, to derive interpretable biological insights

• Work independently to define analytical goals, prioritize efforts, and deliver solutions that advance translational and program objectives

• Stay current with evolving multi-omics technologies and computational tools, introducing innovative methods where they can add value

• Communicate key findings clearly through reports, visualizations, and presentations to technical and non-technical audiences

This is a U.S.-based remote role with periodic travel (quarterly or as needed) to BridgeBio’s San Francisco office or conference locations.

• Ph.D. in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Structural Biology, Systems Biology, Data Science, or a related field

• 3+ years of postdoctoral or industry experience working with large-scale human omics data

• Broad experience across computational biology, with strength in structural biology and/or proteomics and the ability to connect across diverse modalities

• Strong Python software development skills, including package development or contributions to shared repositories with multiple collaborators

• Proven ability to work independently, take initiative, and drive projects from concept to completion

• Solid grounding in statistics and data science, with experience analyzing high-dimensional biological data

• Familiarity with AI/ML approaches for data exploration or interpretation, with sound judgment on when and how to apply them

• Excellent communication skills and ability to deliver results in a fast-moving, cross-disciplinary environment

We have high expectations for our team members. We make sure those working hard for patients are rewarded and cared for in return.
