About the role

  • We are looking for a Forward Deployed AI Engineer to serve as the critical bridge between Latent Labs' frontier generative models and the customers who rely on them.
  • You will work directly with pharmaceutical and biotech customers to deploy, integrate and optimise our technology within their scientific workflows.
  • This is a highly technical, customer-facing role that combines deep infrastructure expertise with a passion for solving real-world problems in drug discovery and protein engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the end-to-end technical deployment of Latent Labs models into customer environments, ensuring seamless integration with existing scientific and IT infrastructure.
  • Design and build production-grade API integrations, data pipelines and model-serving infrastructure tailored to each customer's requirements.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to shape the product roadmap based on real-world deployment learnings.
  • You will own the full lifecycle of customer deployments - from initial technical scoping through to production-grade delivery - and act as the voice of the customer back into our product and research teams.

Requirements

  • You have experience with bio or protein design models.
  • You have contributed to generative modelling innovation.

Nice to have

  • You have a solid grounding in software engineering principles and modern ML frameworks.
  • You have built systems that access large models via APIs.
  • You are customer-facing and delivery-oriented.
  • You can translate complex technical concepts into clear language for non-technical stakeholders and thrive in environments where customer success is the primary measure of your work.
  • You are fluent in cloud infrastructure.
  • You have hands-on experience with AWS and ideally other major cloud platforms (GCP, Azure).
  • You are comfortable with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native architectures.
  • You are a strong communicator and collaborator.

Compensation

  • We offer strongly competitive compensation and benefits packages, including:

Benefits

  • Private health insurance
  • Pension contributions
  • Generous leave policies (including gender neutral parental leave)
