Requirements
  • High School Seniors through rising college Juniors with a serious interest in computer science or software engineering.
  • We are not looking for a long resume – we are looking for curiosity, the habit of building things, and comfort sitting with ambiguity.
  • If you've taught yourself something outside of class, broken and fixed your own code, or have opinions about how software should be built, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities
  • Building and breaking small prototypes – trying things, throwing them out, trying again
  • Working with real document content (templates, historical reports, source data) to figure out what's possible
  • Wiring together LLM APIs, OCR tooling, and whatever else the problem calls for
  • Pair-programming and reviewing each other's work; you won't be siloed
  • Sitting in on user interviews with report authors so you understand who you're building for
  • Presenting what you've built (and what hasn't worked) to stakeholders, including senior leadership

Altasciences provides an integrated CRO that handles the full early‑phase drug development path, from preclinical testing through clinical proof of concept and into manufacturing. Its approach combines discovery support, safety testing, clinical trial execution, and in‑house manufacturing to run programs under one roof. This contrasts with competitors that require pharma and biotech clients to source services from multiple vendors, adding complexity and risk; Altasciences streamlines the process by coordinating all steps. The company aims to help innovator drug programs move quickly and efficiently, delivering integrated data to de‑risk decisions and speed progression to later stages.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Biotech sponsors need fewer vendors for early development, shortening timelines and reducing handoffs.
  • Certara integration strengthens proof-of-mechanism decisions and improves go-no-go confidence.
  • Novo Holdings backing supports expansion into international markets and deeper platform investment.

What critics are saying

  • ICON, Labcorp, and Parexel can bundle similar speed claims with larger global reach.
  • Low biotech funding pressures utilization, and idle clinics quickly crush CRO/CDMO margins.
  • Any manufacturing or data-integrity failure can halt multiple sponsor programs and trigger client exits.

What makes Altasciences unique

  • Founded in 1992, Altasciences evolved from Algorithme Pharma into an integrated CRO/CDMO.
  • Nine North American facilities support preclinical, clinical, bioanalytical, and manufacturing services.
  • The May 2026 Certara partnership adds model-informed drug development directly into execution.
