Osmo is hiring a

Software Engineering Intern

Somerville, United States
Internship

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 Somerville, MA and New York, NY.

Osmo is building the operating system to digitize smell, and expanding the dimension of human sensory in the digital world. We are looking for a summer intern to join our software team and contribute to the development of our core capabilities in supporting cutting-edge research that can lead to a different future for humanity.

What you will be doing:

  • Design and develop interfaces and APIs for users to interact with scent data in innovative ways.
  • Dive into and explore novel applications of various datasets, and build prototypes to assess their viability.
  • 3 days a week in person at our Somerville, MA office.

What we need to see:

  • Strong proficiency in JavaScript, Python, and SQL, and familiarity in applying software development processes to real-world problems.
  • Interest in learning about intersection of software, molecular chemistry, and the biology of olfaction.
  • Current Undergraduate or Graduate student studying computer science or similar fields.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Work or educational background in chemistry or neural olfaction.
  • Experience in implementing interactive data visualizations.
  • Interest in machine learning and recommendation systems.
If this role inspires you we’d encourage you to apply. We are committed to recruiting, developing, and retaining an incredible team optimized for a diversity of thought, background, and approaches. All employment decisions and responsibilities are determined based on current ability and your ability to grow, without regard to race, color, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, marital status, physical, mental, or sensory disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
