    Company
    Loyal
    Loyal is an early stage company developing drugs to help dogs live longer, healthier lives. We see aging as a disease that can be slowed and improved with medicines. Loyal was spun out of Laura Deming’s Longevity Fund and is well funded by top venture capitalists and angels.
    We’re hiring a Software Engineer to join the Computational Biology team. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to make the transition from pure engineering to working in biotech and aging - a background in biology is not required.
    Our team is made of both scientists and engineers which allows us to bring state-of-the-art scientific findings to scale much faster than traditional biotech. As a Frontend Engineer you will play a crucial role at the interface between Loyal and dog owners, creating data gathering and engagement feedback loops that will lead to impactful scientific insights. Being at a startup, you will also work with many other teams and get to know the longevity pipeline end-to-end, from bench assays to clinical trials.
    Loyal is founded and led by a first-gen, female CEO – we encourage and look forward to diverse applicants.

    As part of the Computational Biology team you will

      • Conceptualize, create, and deploy original, interactive consumer-facing applications
      • Work with designers to customize the look and feel of the Loyal website
      • Work with data scientists and backend engineers to deliver seamless user experiences within our study registrations, infographics, surveys, photo/video uploads, etc.
      • Support ongoing and new web-based applications for both internal and external projects
      • Maintain awareness of projects throughout Loyal and spot areas where your team’s expertise would provide value
      • Create documentation for all activities

    Experience and Proficiencies

      • 1-5 years of experience designing frontend web-based applications
      • Demonstrated experience in React, JavaScript, TypeScript, Terraform, AWS or other cloud-based system
      • Nice to have: NextJS, Gatsby, Python, experience with design systems

    How you work and think

      • Strong desire to work collaboratively within a team and across teams
      • Always looking for opportunities to assist others
      • Desire to learn and grow in ability and responsibilities
      • Willingness to learn whatever language is necessary
      • Process driven - creates frameworks to tackle challenging problems
      • Mission driven - able to put day to day work in the context of the overall goals of the company
      • Track record of communicating with technical and non-technical stakeholders
      • Able to work in a fast paced and ever-changing environment
      • Empathy to others and low ego
    Our Values
    The Fundamentality of Health | Good health is critical to every other human (and animal!) experience. We believe health is a fundamental right and are dedicating our lives to maximizing health and developing better medicines for the worst diseases.
    Truth Seeking & Feedback Loops | Uniquely in biology, there is a predetermined truth of whether a specific drug will work or not — we just have to catch up with biology! We seek out this truth and do not shy away from inconvenient truths. This holds for personal development too: we are always searching for feedback loops and embody a perpetual growth mindset.
    Morality & Empathy | We are developing medicines that may one day be given to a living animal, medicines that if designed badly could hurt that animal instead of help. This is a huge responsibility and should be respected as such. Our work needs to adhere to the strictest moral code and always integrate empathy for the patient.
    Transparency | We believe full transparency in thoughts, opinions, intentions, and actions (both good ones and mistakes) is a better way to build a business and work together.
    Kindness | Great business(wo)men do not need to be ruthless — you can execute excellently with kindness.
    Dog gifs | We love them.
