About the role

  • We're not a traditional HTS shop - we care deeply about the richness of the biological signal, not just throughput.
  • If you've spent time thinking about what Cell Painting or morphological profiling can tell you that a viability assay can't, you'll feel at home here.
  • We're a small, technical team, and we move fast.

Responsibilities

  • Conquest is building an AI-driven therapeutic development engine for cancer, anchored in high-content phenomics.
  • You'll own the experimental side of our phenotypic screening platform.
  • That means taking assays that don't exist yet and building them - not plugging into an established pipeline.
  • Intellectual curiosity about the why behind experimental design, not just the how

Requirements

  • Experience in phenotypic profiling - Cell Painting, morphological profiling, or related approaches - is central to this role, not a nice-to-have.
  • Comfort working in oncology models (2D, 3D, co-culture - ideally all of the above)
  • The leadership team has deep experience across AI, drug discovery, and oncology, and we're genuinely committed to doing this differently.
  • If your prior experience with automation was mostly operating someone else's system, this probably isn't the right fit.

Benefits

  • You'll design experiments in oncology cell models, push them toward high-throughput, and work directly with our computational and AI team to make sure the data we generate is worth learning from.
