ABOUT ABSENTIA LABS Absentia Labs is building the data and intelligence infrastructure that powers the next generation of biomedical discovery. We work at the intersection of biology, chemistry, machine learning, and large-scale systems, transforming fragmented scientific data into reliable, machine-learning-ready knowledge. Biomedical data is dispersed, semi-structured, and inherently noisy, yet deeply interconnected across experiments, assays, compounds, and biological systems. Extracting value from this complexity requires deliberate schema design, principled abstractions, and rigorous post-processing pipelines that can support both scientific reasoning and large-scale AI. We believe breakthroughs start with strong data foundations. This role sits at the architectural core of our platform, shaping how scientific data is modeled, validated, versioned, and served across the organization. THE ROLE As a Senior Data Engineer, you will own the design and evolution of Absentia Labs’ biomedical data platform. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, making long-horizon architectural decisions while remaining hands-on in implementation. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working in high-ambiguity, research-driven environments, and who understands that data engineering for AI is as much about representation and correctness as it is about scale. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Architect and lead the design of end-to-end data systems for large-scale biomedical datasets (chemical, biological, toxicology, omics, assay, clinical, and experimental data). - Define and evolve schema-driven data models that reconcile noisy, semi-structured, and heterogeneous sources into coherent, interoperable representations. - Establish best practices for data quality, validation, provenance, lineage, and versioning suitable for scientific and ML workflows. - Build and maintain cloud-native data infrastructure (data lakes, warehouses, object storage, streaming systems) with an emphasis on sc…
