Job Description
The Research Informatics group is looking for a software engineer to develop, maintain, and support web applications and tools utilized by Research, Early Development, and other groups within Alnylam. These tools directly support the discovery and development of RNAi therapeutics, enabling scientists to analyze data, make decisions, and accelerate progress toward new medicines. Because RNAi is a relatively new therapeutic modality, much of our work involves building custom software, ranging from data pipelines and APIs to user-facing applications and visualizations. We are also expanding our internal AI platform, including tools for natural language querying, structured data access (e.g., text-to-SQL), and working with unstructured data. Engineers on the team contribute to these systems and help integrate them into scientific workflows. This role is a good fit for someone early in their career who has some professional experience and is excited to take on increasing ownership, contribute to real-world scientific problems, and grow within a collaborative engineering team. This position is hybrid and will be primarily located in Cambridge, MA.
