Full Job Description
About the Role
We don't always have the perfect role posted for every exceptional person - but we're always looking for them. If you're excited about applying frontier AI to real biomedical science and you don't see a title that fits, apply here to reach us.

Send us a short blurb on what you're best at and one thing you've built, shipped, or discovered - and share a link.

What You'll Work On
  • Whatever you're exceptional at. We're a flat, fast-moving team, and the best people here define their own mandate rather than wait for one.
  • Real problems at the frontier of AI and biology - from the agent platform itself to the science, infrastructure, product, and commercial work that gets it into the hands of scientists.
  • End-to-end ownership. You'll pick things up unprompted, diagnose before you design, and see them through.


Requirements
  • High agency: you handle things end-to-end and don't need a playbook handed to you.
  • AI-native: you use AI to multiply your output and have a strong instinct for where it's high-leverage.
  • Low-ego, can-do, and easy to work with.
  • A concrete track record of something you personally built, shipped, sold, or discovered. We care more about demonstrated ability than a particular credential.
  • Able to be in our South San Francisco office five days a week (some roles can be hybrid - tell us your constraints).

Nice to Have
  • Genuine interest in biology, drug discovery, or AI for science.
  • Startup or founding-team experience in an early, ambiguous, under-resourced environment.
  • Experience on AI-native teams that use coding agents and automation extensively.

Why Join Us?
  • Competitive salary and equity share in building the future of biomedical discovery
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, including free therapy sessions and eyewear stipend
  • 401(k) to help you build long-term financial security (US only)
  • Unlimited PTO to recharge when you need it (US only)
  • Lunch and snacks when you're in the office
  • Regular team offsites and company events
  • A culture of excellence and speed - we move fast, think big, and support each other every step of the way
  • Your work will directly impact our mission to 100X biomedical discoveries through AI
