About the role
- Our Scientific Solutions team is where our science meets our customers.
- The other is making sure the science holds up: designing evaluation pipelines and benchmarks, and doing direct scientific review to measure whether agents meet the standards of working scientists.
- You'll do both while embedded with customers: running training sessions, scoping and delivering solutions on high-stakes projects, and feeding what you learn back into the product.
Responsibilities
- protein and binder design, antibody discovery, de novo protein design, protein engineering, and affinity maturation.
- Validate the scientific accuracy and rigor of agent outputs and drive improvements back into the product with the AI team.
- 401(k) to help you build long-term financial security (US only)
- A culture of excellence and speed - we move fast, think big, and support each other every step of the way
Requirements
- Industry experience in biotech or pharma (computational biology, bioinformatics, or a closely related function).
Nice to have
- AI-native working style
- fluent with modern AI coding tools and agent-based workflows.
- Depth in more than one of the three areas above, or breadth across multiple biomedical domains (genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, clinical data).
- PBPK or QSP modeling, e.g. Simcyp, GastroPlus, NONMEM (IND-Enabling)
- epidemiology / biostatistics, CDISC data standards, digital biomarkers (Clinical & Translational).
- Start Date: ASAP
- Lunch and snacks when you're in the office
- Regular team offsites and company events
Skills
- A strong communicator who can explain complex ideas clearly to both scientists and executives.
