The posting

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a lean team at an early-stage AI and biotech company, owning computational and experimental work across protein design and an inference platform. You will connect sequence design, laboratory testing, and model improvement in an end-to-end design-make-test loop.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Improve and extend discrete diffusion and protein folding models, including model refinements, attention mechanisms, and hierarchical reasoning.

- Operate and scale an inference platform, and analyze usage patterns such as signups, churn, and customer segments.

- Develop, debug, and maintain production protocols for liquid-handling robots and plate automation.

- Design and run BLI and SPR assays, including immobilization, regeneration, referencing, dilution series, kinetic fitting, and quality control.

- Write precise protocols for external laboratory partners and manage screening instrumentation.

- Connect receptor biology, protein structure, scoring, and model outputs to practical scientific workflows.

- Use experimental kinetics data to update models and improve designed sequences.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Typically 3 to 11 years of relevant experience, including experience in biotech or scientific software roles such as solutions engineering, customer success, or a hybrid operator position.

- Hands-on experience building or operating protein design, discrete diffusion, protein language, or structure prediction systems within an experimental design-make-test cycle.

- Practical experience with tools such as ESM, ProtT5, RFdiffusion, BindCraft, or equivalent approaches.

- Direct experience writing and debugging production methods for Hamilton, Tecan, Opentrons, or equivalent liquid-handling systems.

- Hands-on BLI or SPR kinetic curve fitting, assay design, and diagnosis of assay failure modes.

- Ability to code robot methods and analyze kinetic data using Python or equivalent scripting tools.

- Understanding of biology, biochemistry, receptor biology, protein structure, and scoring functions, with the ability to investigate when predictions do not match experimental results.

- Experience completing a full loop from sequence design through synthesis or expression and kinetics measurement to model updates and iteration.

- Comfort with scientific customer engagement, including personalized outbound communication and navigating buying processes across organizations of different sizes.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Consulting engagement: $3,000 to $5,000 per month. Full-time conversion base salary: $80,000 to $200,000 annually, depending on experience, with equity and deal-contingent upside. Visa sponsorship is not available.

LOCATION

Hybrid in New York, United States, with increased on-site presence expected as internal screening operations are established.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
