About the role

  • This is an opportunity to help shape and grow an organization that advances artificial intelligence and applies it to longstanding scientific challenges.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze protein design problems based on functional requirements, biochemistry, structural biology and sequence homology
  • Generate designs using our proprietary generative AI models and optimize designs for experimental validation
  • Coordinate with our lab-based protein engineers to plan and optimize the design process and validation strategy
  • Analyze and leverage our experimental results to improve the next round of designs and increase our success rate over validation rounds
  • Develop and carry out experimental validation strategies for computationally designed proteins, including but not limited to: protein expression and purification, biophysical characterisation, and functional assays.
  • Continue building your understanding of generative AI as well as expanded areas of protein and cell biology

Requirements

  • You are a computational protein designer.
  • You are a generative modelling enthusiast You have AI generative modeling experience, including model training and large scale inference.
  • You are a successful scientist.
  • You have a PhD (or equivalent industry experience) in computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, biochemistry, structural biology, physics, biophysics, bio/chem engineering, or a related field.
  • Your research experience was in protein biochemistry using computational expertise.
  • You are a protein biochemist.
  • You are an owner.
  • You are a connector.
  • You have excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to convey complex scientific concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • You are a mission driven innovator.

Nice to have

  • You have experience with generative AI.
  • You have experience with homology-based and structural bioinformatics, and are able to answer scientific questions using very large databases.
  • You have helped scale a young biotech before.
  • You have worked in startups and helped the company grow.

Skills

  • Help improve our data management systems and workflows

Compensation

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

Benefits

  • Private health insurance
  • Pension/401(K) contributions
  • Generous leave policies (including gender neutral parental leave)
  • Collaborate with machine learning scientists to fine-tune and prompt our models
