Infrastructure Apprentice

Data Infrastructure/Software Apprentice

Are you ready to take on pivotal work that will aid Gordian Biotechnology in pinpointing the most promising therapeutic targets for the development of novel drugs? Join our Apprenticeship Program and help us on our mission to cure age-related disease and wake up every morning more capable than the day before!

Gordian Biotechnology is a therapeutics company whose mission is to cure age-related disease and wake up every morning more capable than the day before.

Traditional ex vivo screening methods have failed to produce effective treatments, as age-related diseases have complex causes that include interactions with the aged environment.

To address this problem, Gordian's platform is the first and only to enable pooled in vivo tests at scale, across different species of diseased animals reflecting patient profiles. We are able to deliver and test hundreds of therapeutics in individual animals, and scale efficacy testing to rapidly prioritize targets and interventions with a clear path toward development.

We are running this discovery engine to ensure an abundance of therapeutic hypotheses can be tested for complex diseases, eventually mapping out the effects of every druggable target across many diseases, and advancing programs both internally and through collaborations with external partners. By working across related sets of indications, we can identify medicines with impacts on age-related multimorbidity.

As our Data Infrastructure/Software Apprentice, you'll be instrumental in building and maintaining the computational backbone that powers Gordian's discovery engine. You will work alongside our platform and data teams to design scalable pipelines, optimize high-performance computing (HPC) workflows, and ensure our in vivo screening data flows seamlessly from collection to analysis.

This apprenticeship offers a holistic experience in early-stage biotech, allowing you to refine technical skills while undertaking substantive projects that expand your knowledge of both science and the business of science. As a full-time team member, you will collaborate closely with disease specialists, gene therapists, and data teams in a collaborative matrix environment. You will gain an insider's perspective into a rapidly growing startup and see how software engineering directly accelerates biotech discovery—taking our platform from concept to delivering insights that drive drug development.

In this track, you will learn how software and data infrastructure support large-scale genomic analysis. Your experience will include:

• Production-Grade Code:
  Learning to write robust, scalable code for biological data.
• Cloud Infrastructure:
  Gaining hands-on experience with Google Cloud and architecting systems for real-time data processing.
• Workflow Orchestration & Containerization:
  Utilizing tools to manage complex computational systems and process in vivo screening data.
• High-Performance Computing (HPC):
  Managing HPC clusters to support massive genomic datasets.
• Scientific Insight:
  Seeing how high-dimensional screening data is transformed into practical insight through interactive tools.

Beyond technical skills, you will gain exposure to startup operations and the adaptability required to build a fast-moving company. This includes learning through company lunch and learns, monthly industry happy hours, and 1:1 time with our founders.

• You want a chance to do your best work, immerse yourself and excel, alongside people who will inspire you and whom you'll be excited to spend your days with.
• You want to play a key role in an early-stage startup: A fast-paced environment full of both uncertainty and new challenges, demanding relentless resourcefulness, but full of opportunities and excitement.
• You are excited to use cutting-edge technology to find the best therapeutic targets, and turn those into drugs.
• You are organized and have a history of managing and collaborating on time-sensitive projects, working across multiple teams.
• You have foundational knowledge of data infrastructure and can articulate how this apprenticeship supports your long-term…
