About the Role
We don't always have the perfect role posted for every exceptional person - but we're always looking for them. If you're excited about applying frontier AI to real biomedical science and you don't see a title that fits, apply here to reach us!
Send us a short blurb on what you're best at and one thing you've built, shipped, or discovered - and share a link.
What You'll Work On:
Whatever you're exceptional at. We're a flat, fast-moving team, and the best people here define their own mandate rather than wait for one.
Real problems at the frontier of AI and biology - from the agent platform itself to the science, infrastructure, product, and commercial work that gets it into the hands of scientists.
End-to-end ownership. You'll pick things up unprompted, diagnose before you design, and see them through.
Requirements:
High agency: you handle things end-to-end and don't need a playbook handed to you.
AI-native: you use AI to multiply your output and have a strong instinct for where it's high-leverage.
Low-ego, can-do, and easy to work with.
A concrete track record of something you personally built, shipped, sold, or discovered. We care more about demonstrated ability than a particular credential.
Able to be in our South San Francisco office five days a week (some roles can be hybrid - tell us your constraints).
Nice to Haves:
Genuine interest in biology, drug discovery, or AI for science.
Startup or founding-team experience in an early, ambiguous, under-resourced environment.
Experience on AI-native teams that use coding agents and automation extensively.
