🚀 Build Software That Accelerates Cancer Drug Discovery Are you interested in joining a brand-new engineering team in Dublin working on something genuinely meaningful? Stelfox is exclusively partnering with a high-growth, AI-driven biotech company that’s transforming how cancer drugs are discovered. This organisation sits at the intersection of AI, data, and life sciences—combining cutting-edge technologies (LLMs, GPUs, cloud platforms) with real-world clinical data to redefine oncology research. 💡 Why this role? First engineering hires in Ireland – shape the team, culture & direction Work on high-impact problems in cancer research Blend modern AI + large-scale data + scientific discovery Join a well-funded, fast-scaling company with global ambition 🧑 💻 We’re hiring across two core areas: 1. Backend / Product Engineers (Python) Build intuitive, high-performance applications that empower scientists (biologists, chemists, researchers) to unlock insights from complex datasets. 2. Platform / ML Software Engineers Design and scale backend systems that support ML workflows—helping data scientists and ML engineers train, deploy, and optimise models in production environments. 🛠️ Tech Stack & Environment You don’t need everything—but experience across some of the below is key: Python (FastAPI, modern tooling like UV / Pixi) APIs: REST / GraphQL Frontend: HTML / HTMX Cloud: AWS (S3, ECS) Databases: PostgreSQL Infrastructure: Terraform Workflow orchestration (e.g. Prefect) ML systems / GPU workloads Exposure to AI tools (e.g. Claude Code) 🎓 Background 6–10 years’ software engineering experience Degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology/Chemistry, Physics, or similar If you would like to be considered for this new team, please feel free to apply for immediate consideration. Please note, visa sponsorship is not provided for these roles.
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
