About the role

  • As a Staff AI Researcher you will help set the technical direction for one of TBC's core research and product areas.
  • This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who can solve foundational research problems while raising the output of the broader team.
  • You will work closely with TBC's founders, AI researchers, computational neuroscientists, biologists, engineers and product leaders.

Responsibilities

  • Design video generation models that support expressive latent representations, stable rollouts, and control-oriented prediction

Requirements

  • Deep experience with one or more of the following:
  • Strong technical judgment and a track record of making consequential architectural or research decisions
  • Ability to reason clearly about failure modes in long-horizon prediction and control
  • Experience taking ambiguous research problems from first principles through implementation and evaluation
  • Hands-on experience with diffusion models, autoregressive video models, or related generative architectures
  • Experience designing and scaling novel research systems rather than only applying established approaches

Nice to have

  • Experience training policies inside learned simulators or over imagined trajectories
  • Experience with action-conditioned video prediction or controllable generative models
  • Experience connecting learned models to real robotic systems
  • Experience with object-centric representations, physical priors, or structured dynamics models
  • Experience with digital twins, sim-to-real transfer, online adaptation, or closed-loop data collection
  • Experience scaling research systems across large datasets or distributed training environments

Skills

  • The Biological Computing Co. (TBC) is an applied biological computing company that uses real neurons to improve AI models.

Company info

  • Today, we are commercializing neurally optimized models that run on conventional GPU and cloud infrastructure.
  • We are building next-generation video generation models that enable robots to learn, plan, and act through imagined futures.
