About the role
- This role goes beyond traditional LLM + RAG pipelines.
- Architect scalable systems that combine structured and unstructured biomedical data within production-grade AI environments.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement agentic AI architectures capable of multi-step reasoning, planning, and tool use in biomedical contexts.
- Develop LLM-based agents that dynamically retrieve, rank, and synthesize knowledge from scientific literature, knowledge graphs, omics datasets, and clinical data.
- Build memory and feedback mechanisms that allow agents to refine hypotheses, update context, and adapt to evolving data.
- Collaborate closely with computational biologists, translational scientists, and software engineers to embed agentic systems into real-world discovery pipelines.
- You will build AI agents that can retrieve, synthesize, evaluate, and act on biomedical information across literature, omics datasets, and clinical records operating as intelligent systems embedded within discovery workflows.
- Xaira Therapeutics an equal-opportunity employer. We believe that our strength is in our differences. Our goal to build a diverse and inclusive team began on day one, and it will never end.
