Software Engineer – Molecular Dynamics

Led by Michael Antonov, a co-founder of Oculus, and well-funded by Formic Ventures, Deep Origin is poised to reinvent the way scientists work and life science innovations come to life. We see a future largely free of diseases with a 150 year lifespan being a norm. To get there, we are building an operating system for science, enabling scientists to be more productive and to bring tomorrow’s ideas to life quickly and at a reasonable cost.
