Software Engineer, Infrastructure
About Boltz
Boltz is a public benefit company building the next generation of AI-powered molecular modeling tools to make biology programmable and accelerate drug discovery, while keeping frontier capabilities broadly accessible.
Boltz-1, Boltz-2, and BoltzGen are open models trusted by 100,000+ scientists across biotech and academia, and used in programs at every Top 20 pharma as well as leading agrichemical and industrial research organizations.
We deliver these capabilities through Boltz Lab, our platform for running our latest models and design agents as reliable, production-grade tools. Boltz Lab is designed around real chemistry and biology workflows, so teams can start from a target and a hypothesis and quickly generate, evaluate, and rank candidate molecules. We provide the compute, the scalable infrastructure, and the collaboration layer, so scientists can iterate faster and stay focused.

About the role
As a Software Engineer in Infrastructure, you will build and operate the core systems that power Boltz Lab and enable scientists worldwide to run large-scale molecular modeling and design workflows. Your primary responsibility will be to design, implement, and maintain reliable, scalable backend and infrastructure components that support ML inference, data pipelines, and product features.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work closely with ML researchers, product engineers, and scientists to turn cutting-edge models into dependable, production-grade services. This includes building APIs, scaling inference workloads, evolving data ingestion and storage pipelines, and ensuring the platform meets real-world requirements around performance, reliability, and cost.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning foundational systems end-to-end, thrives on ambiguity, and is motivated by building infrastructure that directly impacts real scientific and experimental outcomes.
About you
Essentials:
- Strong experience building and operating backend or infrastructure systems in production environments.
- Solid software engineering fundamentals, with a track record of designing reliable, maintainable, and well-tested systems.
- Experience designing and scaling APIs and services used by external users or internal teams.
- Proficiency with modern backend tooling, such as Python and/or TypeScript, and experience with relational databases (e.g. Postgres).
- Hands-on experience with cloud and containerized environments (e.g. AWS, Docker, Kubernetes).
- Comfortable collaborating across engineering, research, and product to translate requirements into robust systems.
- Willingness to take ownership of critical infrastructure and make pragmatic trade-offs under real-world constraints.
