AI Researcher at Frontier Biology AI Lab

Join a frontier biology AI lab dedicated to building general-purpose foundation models that solve the world's most complex neurological challenges. As an AI Researcher, you will work with proprietary datasets and high-performance infrastructure to design models at massive scale. This is a unique opportunity for ML experts with experience in large-scale model training (7B+) and low-level optimization to move from prototype to production-grade discovery. If you are driven by radical candor and purposeful individuality, this well-funded startup offers the chance to translate cutting-edge research into real-world clinical outcomes.

Overview

Role overview

You will design, implement, and scale foundational AI models for multi-omics at massive scale. This role bridges the gap between state-of-the-art machine learning and transformative clinical outcomes. Working in a multidisciplinary team, you will build robust experimentation pipelines and optimize high-performance algorithms to decode complex biological systems and protect human health.
