Description
About Healx
Healx is an AI-powered tech bio company that is redesigning drug discovery. With 10,000 rare diseases affecting 400 million people globally, 90% of which have no approved treatment, Healx is on a mission to pioneer the next generation of drug discovery to help rare disease patients in need. We combine data, artificial intelligence and deep pharmacology expertise to develop treatments more quickly and cheaply than traditional drug discovery.
Diversity and inclusion sits at the heart of our mission to help people with rare diseases, and we believe that attracting and empowering a diverse team is critical to achieving this goal. We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
Below we have included the qualities that we feel are required for you to excel in this role; however we appreciate that people can apply transferable skills and experience. If you think you have what it takes, love our mission and resonate with our values but are worried you don't tick every box – we still want to hear from you and encourage you to apply!
Our values
-
Care for Rare – Rare disease patients are at the heart of what we do
-
Grow as individuals – We are learners always seeking to enhance our expertise
-
Win as a team – We strive to remain inclusive and diverse and we celebrate successes and lessons together
-
Innovate and deliver – Our mission requires rapid innovation and calculated risks that won’t compromise our high standards
The role
Healx is looking for an Agentic AI Engineer to build LLM-agentic workflows that power our drug discovery platform.
Reporting to our Director of Tech Strategy, you'll design and build agents that solve real drug discovery problems. Working closely with scientists across the company, you'll understand the questions that matter most to their work, then design and refine agents that reason over our knowledge graph, proprietary methods, the scientific literature and other sources to generate, triage and rationalise testable therapeutic hypotheses for rare diseases.
You won't be starting from scratch. We've adopted an agentic framework (our stack currently includes Python, ADK and AgentSpace) and built workflows already delivering impact across our drug discovery platform. But this is a fast-moving field, so a big part of the role is helping us adapt as the landscape shifts. You'll work alongside the technical lead who owns our agentic infrastructure, with scope to take ownership of specific workflows and grow your influence as you do.
You'll join a cross-functional team of machine learning engineers, software engineers, bioinformaticians, drug discovery scientists and clinicians, all working to sharpen how Healx makes better decisions in drug discovery.
