Who we are at Osmo:
Osmo is a digital olfaction company, on a mission to give computers a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory. Vision and hearing have been digitized, but not scent. It’s time we solve this. We’re bringing an unprecedented combination of software, data, hardware and capital to the historic challenge of giving computers a sense of smell.
We believe in the power of automation and carefully applied AI/ML to solve problems that are beyond what the unaided human mind can tackle on its own. In the first phase of our development, we are using our map of odor along with cutting-edge generative AI to create the next generation of aroma molecules (e.g., the ingredients in the fragrances we wear and the products we use). We’re a hybrid company with a laboratory and center-of-mass in Cambridge, MA and New York, NY.
Osmo is hiring a Front-End Engineer, to build world class tools to explore the olfactory world and enable new ingredient discovery. You’ll work closely with Chemistry, Engineering, and Data teams to help solve the challenge of giving computers a sense of smell. We are looking for a self-motivated individual with strong UX and design capabilities to turn ideas into prototypes.
You will:
- Build novel interfaces that allow Osmo’s chemists, perfumers, and internal teams to find new scents.
- Design tools to allow teams to quickly understand the odor space.
- Surface the output of Osmo’s models to allow teams to make decisions quickly and efficiently.
- Work with our internal customers and engineering team to build all phases of user interface development.
You have
- 5+ years working on front end applications with a history of building responsive, user friendly experiences
- Experience with React or similar Javascript frameworks
- Strong UX and Design capabilities that can turn an idea into a working prototype
- Experience working with chemical data or on scientific tools
- Knowledge of GCP or other cloud tooling.
- Strong communication skills to interact and work well across various projects, teams, and objectives.
Expected Salary Range: $160,000 - $200,000
