Haifa, Haifa, Israel Deriva Full time ₪120,000 - ₪180,000 per year

About Deriva

Deriva is building the
AI-Driven Variant Intelligence Platform
— a system that helps genomic scientists interpret DNA variants with speed, clarity, and confidence.

We train neural networks and build world-class agents that think like expert analysts — connecting evidence, explaining conclusions, and adapting as guidelines evolve.

The bottleneck in genomics has moved from sequencing to analysis. Deriva's mission is to close that gap and make genetic interpretation as routine and actionable as a blood test.

The Role

We're looking for a
Software Engineering Lead
to join our
core team
— someone who wants to
build from zero to one
, shape the startup, and have a
massive impact
on both product and culture.

You'll work directly with the founder, lead product and architecture decisions, and ship features that power real genetic discoveries.

You'll own the full stack — from Python and AI pipelines to React dashboards — and bring clarity, speed, and taste to every build.

What You'll Do

  • Architect, design, and ship core platform components (Python, NestJS, React).
  • Lead and mentor a small our core engineering team.
  • Scale Deriva's in-house agents systems.
  • Translate complex product requirements into clear, explainable software.
  • Balance rapid delivery with long-term system elegance.
  • Shape the technical direction, tools, and engineering culture of Deriva.

Who You Are

You're a
builder-leader
— someone who codes, thinks, and leads by example.

You love solving hard problems, learning fast, and creating things that matter.

You must:

  1. Know how to work effectively with AI tools
  2. Know when not to overengineer (:
  3. Ship fast but know how deep to dive when it matters.
  4. Solve complex problems and prioritize with clarity.
  5. Learn continuously — in and beyond programming.
  6. Communicate at a high level of English (reading, writing, speaking).
  7. Lead with empathy, precision, and accountability.
  8. Love software engineering — and do it out of passion.
  9. Excels both independently and as part of a team.

Minimum:

  • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience.
  • Deep experience in
    Python
    ,
    TypeScript
    ,
    React
    , and
    NestJS
    .
  • Proven record of building and shipping products end-to-end.
  • Strong understanding of scalable systems and modern API design.
  • Curiosity and drive to work on state of the art AI agents
  • Been part of the core team — one of the first engineers in a startup that raised at least a Seed round.

To respect everyone's time, applications that don't meet the minimum requirements will not be reviewed.

Bonus:

  • Experience in AI/ML pipelines or genomics/healthcare systems.
  • Open-source, startup, or founder experience.

Why Join Deriva

  • Core team
    seat — help shape the product, culture, and company from the ground up.
  • High impact
    — what you build will directly influence global genomic interpretation.
  • Competitive compensation
    (salary + equity).
  • Hybrid work
    — collaborate in Haifa, focus anywhere.
  • Deep learning culture
    — build at the cutting edge of AI.
